: [[User talk:DouglasRoberts1986]] is an example of a more tricky case: DouglasRoberts posted inappropriate stuff then five edits were done all of them leaving Douglas' rubbisch in place. My only option here was to delete everything and re-create the page with just the non-rubbisch edits.

I wonder if you could expand on your reasons for deleting the above article under CSD G1, which explictly excludes "coherent non-English material, or poorly translated material"?

Hi. I linked to the article which you speedily deleted back in February. Not sure if this is an issue, but I don't have the tools to look into, not even sure if it is something that needs looking into. [[LivingLegend 7]] is a new editor which has had some problematic edits in their brief time. They have recreated the above article, this time as [[Remorse eSports]], which another editor has tagged for speedy deletion. That's not the issue. When I went back to [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/LivingLegend_7 the editors' contributions], I noticed something strange. The tag that the original article was to be deleted is dated 28 February. However, looking at their history, it shows them starting on 1 March. Strange. Not sure it's an issue, but it looks like someone might be trying to hide something. Thought someone might like to look into it, take care.

Emotional Speech Blocks Deletion Syndrome
[Title width guide. Delete above here if no further edits - already in archive. If further edits, move below here.]
You have one. Feel free to reply here if you want, no worries. Cheers! O Fortuna!...Imperatrix mundi. 16:37, 15 February 2017 (UTC)
What do we do when a page is promotional, is tagged, but then the creator blanks the page, so removing the promotion and the tag from the page (which of course he shouldn't do) - do they cancel each other out? Like, the tags gone, but so is the promotional material? thank for the advice. O Fortuna!...Imperatrix mundi. 16:37, 15 February 2017 (UTC) [by email]
- Why on earth did you send this by email? If you had cited specific examples, then email might have been appropriate. Very simple answer: slap a {{db-blanked}} tag on it! And if that gets blanked keep re-applying until an admin catches it and actions it. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 17:30, 15 February 2017 (UTC)
Sorry RH, I just thought you didn't appreciate getting unecessary messages here. Thanks for that though. Blindingly obvious as you say- I was distracted by the promo aspects rather than the simple fact of author deletion. I'll remember that, cheers, O Fortuna!...Imperatrix mundi. 18:57, 15 February 2017 (UTC)
@RHaworth: One more thing - if it was a user talkpage that had the spam / tag on it and was then blanked? Still U1 but with the mandatory rationale? Thanks again! O Fortuna!...Imperatrix mundi. 15:07, 18 February 2017 (UTC)
- Fortuna, you don't use {{reply}} on my own talk page! It is for use when you reply to me elsewhere. Regarding U1s, I accepted a request to delete user talk:Helloeyworldy because the only content was a welcome message but more usually I refuse requests to delete user_talk pages proper with the message "user talk pages are not usually deleted but they may be blanked". User_talk sub pages can usually be tagged with {{db-blanked}} with subtle exceptions: User talk:PatGallacher/Archive 3 and his other archive pages could be deleted because they were created by a bot and the original edits are still in the history of user talk:PatGallacher. But User talk:Graeme Bartlett/archive 20 and his other archive pages must not be deleted because they were created by a move and contain the original edits. Confused? Don't worry! — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 00:04, 21 February 2017 (UTC)
Thanks for that {{ping|RHaworth}} ;) -all it was, as I was replying to an old message half way up your page, rather than starting a new section. Cheers for the info. So the important thing is preserving the preservable history. Check. I wasn't thinking so much of archives though- haven't encounterd that yet. Perhaps luckily enough. But this was the cause of my question- where the page had been blanked, tag removed, but the promo material is still in the history. Although there's nothing else in the history apart from the tag. Alright. Thanks again, O Fortuna!...Imperatrix mundi. 14:13, 21 February 2017 (UTC)
- Pinging because you were replying half way up the page! Just because you do not how to get a diff report do not assume that nobody else uses them. I am using this report to check what I need to reply to. User talk:Shahdahmad was a perfectly clear case - mis-use of a talk page; no proper messages to cloud the issue - zap it without hesitation. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 21:07, 22 February 2017 (UTC)
Like, nuke from orbit. That's wot some say. Did you see Cronx. Zapped! :) — O Fortuna!...Imperatrix mundi. 21:58, 22 February 2017 (UTC)
- I have drunk Cronx beer. I walk past the Cronx Boxpark frequently. I recently rode through The Bronx on a train but I never saw the connection! I wish now that I had allocated some time to explore The Bronx a bit and compare and contrast it with Croydon. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 14:01, 23 February 2017 (UTC)
If we'd known it was your local we would have conferred immediate notability upon it :) Escape from the Cronx!
Croydon. The Cartoon Club. Some years ago; is it still there? — O Fortuna!...Imperatrix mundi. 15:15, 23 February 2017 (UTC)
- The Cartoon Club apparently closed in 2006. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 19:40, 24 February 2017 (UTC)

I am an admin for the largest membered Mandela effect page on Facebook where we are steadily approaching 22,000 members at this time and the page being deleted has troubled many of our members. As for the purpose of its deletion being stated that the article had no meaningful, substantive content is not entirely up to you or whomever it was to decide. This is a very sensitive subject matter where it has not received much, if any, coverage through mainstream media sources and many who do run across the subject turn to more "credible" sites such as Wikipedia to get a better foundational understanding of what exactly the matter entails. Also, I notice controversial results when searching "Mandela Effect Wikipedia" as the two leading results are "False memories" and "Confabulation" but I won't bother you on that matter as I'm sure you don't have any control of that. Being so, I politely ask that you reinstate the page or direct me to someone who can. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Luke1132 (talk • contribs)
- I think you would agree that a totally blank page can be said to have "no meaningful, substantive content" and that was the state of the most recent edit to Mandela effect when I deleted it. All the earlier edits to that title were merely redirects. Now Mandela Effect did have some content - it was deleted per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mandela Effect and apparently immediately re-created.
- "The scientific basis for the Mandela effect is in quantum mechanics" shows that this is a crank / fringe theory. There are plenty of articles in wikipedia about fringe theories but each one needs to show its notability and "22,000 members of a Facebook page" is not such evidence. This discussion shows that the editors of the confabulation article think that the effect has no place there. Likewise the editors of false memory would probably reject it.
- So will it work as a separate article? You clearly have a CoI so you should not be trying to re-create one. The best I can offer is that you should follow this advice: find a well-established editor such as CaroleHenson (talk · contribs) and get them to help you create a new article. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 14:01, 23 February 2017 (UTC)
- Hi, it seems to me that the false memory article explains the type of effect. I see some, but not a lot of good mainstream media sources that mention the Mandela effect, so I'm not seeing "significant" coverage, per WP:GNG. I think I was involved in a discussion about a redirect earlier about this - and at that time didn't think it warranted a separate article.—CaroleHenson (talk) 20:02, 24 February 2017 (UTC)
Mandela Effect 2
Can you also delete the mandela effect because that continues to be redirect to false memory. Thanks -- Jack Upland (talk) 01:40, 23 February 2017 (UTC)
Peer5 deletion
Hello, I would like to contest the deletion of this page Peer5. I think that speedy deletion criteria have not been met. Primarily, the page created had reputable, industry relevant sources, and the article topic is a well-known company in its industry. In addition, Wikipedia already has similar articles about companies in the same industry. So, I think that the first speedy deletion criteria was not met, ie, A7. As for G11, I'm ready to remedy that if my complain is taken into consideration. Thank you -- Reollun (talk) 10:50, 23 February 2017 (UTC)

Article Deletion Request
Hi Roger, Please could you kindly send me the text for the following article of mine that you deleted - Draft:Advantage Testing. I understand your reasons for deleting, as it appears to be simply marketing for a company. So I wish to rewrite the article in an unbiased, objective manner. Many thanks for your assistance and for giving your time to Wikipedia - it's a tremendous resource. Best wishes, James — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jameslox (talk • contribs) 11:56, 23 February 2017 (UTC)

Unprotect
Do you mind unprotecting 🔞? There's a WP:AFC/R request to create it as a redirect to Content rating, because it literally is a content rating, regardless of the age-of-majority issues that were relevant at the more recent RFD. If you were inactive, I'd readily unprotect it myself, but of course I don't want to step on toes. — Nyttend (talk) 23:51, 23 February 2017 (UTC)
- Gamebuster19901 seems obsessed with this. The AFC/R discussion has been quite rightly closed. An RfD discussion is still in progress but there is no need to unsalt the title until and iff that discussion closes with a re-instate decision. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 19:40, 24 February 2017 (UTC)

Help me urgent that this article Amaruk Kayshapanta is not erased or deleted, I am new to wikipedia I still have some difficulties, but I have already corrected and edited again. I say goodbye waiting for positive news, thank you -- Gatita Estrella10 (talk) 06:03, 24 February 2017 (UTC)

User page deletion
I was surprised to see you had deleted the user page for Sander.v.Ginkel yesterday on the grounds that it is a "fake article". I can assure you that many editors on the English wiki have written user pages in the same way but have not (yet) suffered the same fate. Please restore the page as many would like to see the profile of someone who has been banned for the time being but whose BLP articles are still receiving attention as drafts. I see for example that Kudpung's user page has been drafted along the same lines. Should this be blanked too? -- Ipigott (talk) 14:37, 24 February 2017 (UTC)
- (talk page watcher) Kupung's page looks nothing like SvG's. How many articles that we have that are hatted, for a start? Let alone all the design tweaks etc. — O Fortuna!...Imperatrix mundi. 14:45, 24 February 2017 (UTC)
Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi: Thanks for coming in on this so quickly and for your interesting observation. I'm not so sure what you mean by "hatted" but I would point out that unlike Kudpung's, S.v.G's page had a header clearly explaining it was a user page and not a Wikipedia article. But it was still deleted. -- 15:11, 24 February 2017 (UTC)Ipigott (talk)
- Yeah none of my business I know, Ipigott; by 'hatted' I meant, within {{collapsetop}} / {{collapsebottom}}- the bright green bar he's got, that's the one. — O Fortuna!...Imperatrix mundi. 15:17, 24 February 2017 (UTC)
Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi: I see. Well, if that's what's bothering you, how about Plucas58? But maybe we should just wait patiently for our friend RH to return. He's usually very understanding. -- Ipigott (talk) 15:27, 24 February 2017 (UTC)
- It doesn't bother me. Nothing bothers me. That could be the mescaline, of course. No worries, Ipigott. Cheers! — O Fortuna!...Imperatrix mundi. 15:30, 24 February 2017 (UTC)
- The page is a classic case of a fake article: written in the third person with not a word about what he does on Wikipedia. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 19:40, 24 February 2017 (UTC)
As I have explained above there are many user pages written in the third person which have the appearance of articles. Although many such pages provide general background about the user and follow the kind of display used in main-space biographies, the ones I have seen include descriptions of the user's work on Wikipedia. On re-examining S.v.G's page, I have to agree with you that there was no mention of his Wikipedia activities. It therefore does indeed coincide with rules on "fake articles" and I agree that you took the correct action in deleting the page.--Ipigott (talk) 09:43, 25 February 2017 (UTC)
There was plenty of context, as shown by a Google translation. Nor was the article very short. I do not think A1 applied here. Adam9007 (talk) 00:40, 25 February 2017 (UTC)

What was the text of User:ㅂㄱㅇ/1? Can I know that? --
- Text restored to ko:사용자:ㅂㄱㅇ/11. If this actually is capable of becoming an article here and when its content is more than 50% in English, you may copy it back here. I have also deleted the most recent edits to User:ㅂㄱㅇ/0 and copied it to ko:사용자:ㅂㄱㅇ/11. What encyclopedic purpose does it serve? — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 15:09, 27 February 2017 (UTC)
I was translating from Korean to create new articles in English Wikipedia, but some templates I used in that page don't exist in Korean Wikipedia. --
- ko:사용자:ㅂㄱㅇ/11 contains 5 templates that work on ko: and 2 that work on en:. When more than 50% of the templates work here, then you may copy it back. But what I would do is: split my screen into two widows with ko:사용자:ㅂㄱㅇ/11 open in one window as a guide and work on the English version in the other window. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 18:35, 2 March 2017 (UTC)
How about history? I lost all history of that page.--
- There is an export/import mechanism but importing requires admin rights. So: find an admin on ko:, ask them to download this XML file, change the <title> tag and then import it. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 16:09, 4 March 2017 (UTC)

- Anna, second time in a week that I have deleted something on the say-so of a random IP address - see Slavery … above.

(You've been warned!)
- When foo is a disambiguation page, then I consider it utterly pointless to have "foo (disambiguation)" existing as well but the rule book says it is OK - indeed I think there is a bot that goes around creating such redirects. However when bar is itself a redirect, I consider it absolutely unnecessary for "bar (disambiguation)" to exist.
- I do not consider myself at all grumpy but I admit that the tone of my writing often makes me sound so. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 18:35, 2 March 2017 (UTC)
My my! "Utterly pointless" and "absolutely unnecessary". You are not one for understatement, are you!
Had it not occurred to you that there just might possibly be a good reason for the existence of this situation, a good reason for the rule book specifically catering for it, and a good reason for the existence of a bot that creates such pages? (Or failing "good reason", then "good enough reason"?) Well, never mind. Cheers, Pdfpdf (talk) 10:15, 4 March 2017 (UTC)

- There was absolutely no need to use email to tell me about User talk:Nidhi2592. It was a simple case: Nidhi2592 posted inappropriate stuff; you applied a speedy tag; Tropicalkitty came along and blanked it for some unknown reason; the Winged Blades of Godric added a message. So I deleted it and restored the last two edits so that none of Nidhi2592's rubbisch was visible. (This is the only way of doing selective deletions.)
- User talk:DouglasRoberts1986 is an example of a more tricky case: DouglasRoberts posted inappropriate stuff then five edits were done all of them leaving Douglas' rubbisch in place. My only option here was to delete everything and re-create the page with just the non-rubbisch edits. This preserves the comments as the rule book demands but a purist might say "where is the evidence that these are the words of Exemplo347, etc. - the edit history shows just one edit - by RHaworth"? I am still unsure whether I am doing the right thing. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 01:26, 3 March 2017 (UTC)
I only emailed you to annoy you
Only kidding sorry :) in the first case, is there anything I could've done at the time, rather than letting you know two days later or whatever it was? And as for rulebooks... isn't that what WP:IAR is all about? Take care, — O Fortuna! Imperatrix mundi. 10:59, 3 March 2017 (UTC)
- What you could have done at the time was ask Tropicalkitty why on earth they blanked the page instead of leaving a totally valid speedy tag in place. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 16:09, 4 March 2017 (UTC)

Please reinstate this draft immediately. It is being used to prepare edits for the extant article and represent many tens of hours of work. The present page is large and has both structural and accuracy problems. Some of the work, for example the section on power calculations, has been fed back into the main article, and lot more is expected to follow shortly. This is all explained in the logs and talk pages of both the published article and the draft.

Redirects deletion request
Hello there RHaworth, I have a quick question for you/request, could you please delete the two redirects I nominated for deletion (listed here: User talk:TheSandDoctor/Archive 2 (Requested deletion of own works))? The reasoning for the request is that one of the two was made by accident (TheSandDoctor/Peter_Bell_(Reichstag)) as I forgot to remove the TheSandDoctor/ prefix (as it was created as a user page) and I do not think anyone would think to search for TheSandDoctor/Peter_Bell_(Reichstag) and the second one is on similar reasoning that I doubt anyone will look for Peter Bell (Reichstag) in User:TheSandDoctor/Peter_Bell_(Reichstag). From my judgement, both redirects fall under Wikipedia:Redirect#When_should_we_delete_a_redirect.3F #1.
Thanks for your time!

PM² Project Management Methodology
Hi RHaworth, It looks like you deleted a new page I created. I'm new to wikipedia, so I may not have followed the best/correct publishing process.
Regarding the reasons you deleted this page, i would like to let you know that there is no copyright infringement issue as: 1) I am the primary author of this publication. 2) The European Commission has published the methodology with an "open source" license (EUPL) which is more or less equivalent to the creative commons (CC) license. This is indicated in the first few pages of the publication.
I realize that I may not have made this clear in the wikipedia text (so you may have missed it in the first pages of the PDF publication). I'm also providing you with this source: https://joinup.ec.europa.eu/node/153404 where you will find towards the bottom of the page the following copyright statement: "The PM² Guide - Open Edition is published with a full share and reuse EUPL Licence, and is positioned to become an open source project management methodology. This means that reproduction and reuse is authorised provided the source is acknowledged."
So I would like to request that you un-delete the page and give me some tips on how I can avoid this happening again by another editor. Or move back to my sandbox.
I also read your tips on how to activate my wikipedia-emailbox so you can email me the content, but I'm not sure how to do this. Could you please advise? I spend several hours creating this content, so I don't want to risk loosing it. Thanks for your time! Nicos. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nkouroun (talk • contribs)

Hi. I linked to the article which you speedily deleted back in February. Not sure if this is an issue, but I don't have the tools to look into, not even sure if it is something that needs looking into. User:LivingLegend 7 is a new editor which has had some problematic edits in their brief time. They have recreated the above article, this time as Remorse eSports, which another editor has tagged for speedy deletion. That's not the issue. When I went back to the editors' contributions, I noticed something strange. The tag that the original article was to be deleted is dated 28 February. However, looking at their history, it shows them starting on 1 March. Strange. Not sure it's an issue, but it looks like someone might be trying to hide something. Thought someone might like to look into it, take care. Onel5969 TT me 14:07, 4 March 2017 (UTC)
- (talk page stalker) - User:onel5969 if you go to User:LivingLegend 7's contributions page and click on logs, you will find "01:40, 10 January 2017 User account LivingLegend 7 (Talk | contribs) was created" - If you click "edit count" they have made 49 edits of which 30 have been deleted - this would include the edits you are referring to - Arjayay (talk) 14:42, 4 March 2017 (UTC)

- To be fair, I think all it would need to satisfy our policy would be for the fair-use images to be left behind, and a URL of the original page (to acknowlege attribution) in the edit-summary box. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi (talk • contribs)
