Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2015 November 30#Vu Digital

At Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Vu Digital (2nd nomination), you supported deletion and the AfD was closed as "delete". At Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2015 November 30#Vu Digital, I asked for the community's permission to restore the history under the redirect so I can merge material to C Spire Wireless, the parent company.

I will only merge material sourced to TechCrunch, Mississippi Business Journal, Broadcasting & Cable, and The Clarion-Ledger, which all pass Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources. I will not merge any material sourced only to press releases or sources that fail Wikipedia:Identifying reliable sources. Would you support this? Thanks, Cunard (talk) 19:17, 6 December 2015 (UTC)

I cannot see the page, but from my previous comments, it seems like it was a spampage with a few okay sources. If you just use reliable sources, then I don't have an issue. Joseph2302 (talk) 23:01, 6 December 2015 (UTC)

RfA for 78.26

Thank you for caring enough about Wikipedia to participate at RfA. I'm not sure I understand the reasons behind your objection to my RfA, but if you think I am not properly valuing content, which is my best guess, my talk page door is open for discussion. All the best, 78.26 _{(spin me / revolutions)} 02:27, 24 December 2015 (UTC)

@78.26: I've replied at Wikipedia talk:Requests for adminship/78.26 (where I was unaware there had been more conversation about this)- I hadn't noticed your reply to question #13, which seemed to alleviate my concerns bout lots of DYKs but only 1 GA. There's a longer reply at the above page.

Also, congratulations on becoming an admin. Joseph2302 (talk) 23:29, 24 December 2015 (UTC)

Nobel Oil Group page - removal of reliable sources, edit warring

Since you have had interest in the page Nobel Oil Group and edited it before, could you take a look at it? Two potential sock-puppets have been messing with the page, removing reliable sources, removing any criticism and controversy surrounding the company, removing information about the owner of the company, etc. See here [1] and here [2]. Judging from the coordination of multiple IPs they will engage in edit-warring. Multiple such potentially paid users who have created or edited this very page have previously been banned as sock-puppets (e.g., User:Factsforus and User:Feelingfancyfree). This whole page smells like a PR campaign for the shadowy company. Thank you. Redzed9876 (talk) 15:37, 28 December 2015 (UTC)

@Redzed9876: Looks like people have already dealt with it, page is now semi-protected. Don't think there's anything I can do, maybe a sockpuppet investigation would be warranted. Joseph2302 (talk) 21:36, 29 December 2015 (UTC)
