Re your November 10 deletion of Talk:Shillary could you please give me access to the text I left there? I had a request that if you were not going to discuss it there that it be moved to either RFD or to Talk:Hillary Clinton. I did that out of the courtesy of not cluttering your talk page, but the courtesy of keeping the message intact was not reciprocated, so that is the step I take now.
This was regarding your October 23 deletion of the term as "implausible" which I contradicted with new sources. I put work into cite webbing them and would like to avoid having to repeat that. — Ranze (talk) 18:02, 21 November 2016 (UTC)
- Restored to Talk:Hillary Clinton. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 22:44, 21 November 2016 (UTC)

UTC-05:32:11 article
Why was my article on UTC-05:32:11 deleted for being a "hoax" It is not a hoax. Go to this webpage and select 1800-1849. There are other previously unknown time zones used in the 19th century according to that website, and I intended to make articles for them all. I don't see why we can't have articles for those time zones. Is it because they subtract seconds? We have an article for UTC-00:25:21 — NASAPeepo (talk) 03:00, 25 November 2016 (UTC)
- When you write about an article, create a link to it. One argument is that Dublin Mean Time applied to the whole of Ireland while UTC-05:32:11 applied just to Detroit. I have restored it but I recommend strongly that before you create any more similar articles, raise the matter on a suitable talk page and get agreement. Personally I would like to see most of these [[UTC±…]] titles converted to redirects. "UTC-05:32:11" or "UTC-00:25:21" are utterly implausible search terms. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 11:49, 25 November 2016 (UTC)
I will definitely be creating articles for UTC-15:56 and UTC+14:00:24, formerly used in Manila and Anchorage, respectively. Since those subtracted and added the most to UTC as far as I know. Also, I only know for sure it was used in Detroit. As that is the only city in the whole Midwest that has time zone info before 1970 on that website. — NASAPeepo (talk) 18:24, 25 November 2016 (UTC)
- HkCaGu has a point: time zones which disappeared with the arrival of railway time and the electrick telegraph are of no interest. I would also classify user:NASAPeepo's stubs as slovenly. UTC-05:32:11 - was it just Detroit - why did it survive as late as 1905? Find out. UTC+14:00:24 - you should point out that it seems more sensible when expressed as Moscow time+11. UTC-15:56 - no attempt made to explain why the change happened. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 20:33, 27 November 2016 (UTC)
Can you semi-protect the page to persistent genre warring. — 115.164.219.28 (talk) 11:31, 26 November 2016 (UTC)
- What is "genre warring" and read this. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 20:33, 27 November 2016 (UTC)
- (talk page stalker) "Genre warring" is the musical equivalent of nationalism in infoboxes eg: changing "rock" to "soft rock" to "classic rock" and then back again. Some day, I may write a general summary in WP:LAME. In the meantime, article semi-protected for 24 hours; in future, WP:RFPP is thataway. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 13:28, 28 November 2016 (UTC)
Unsalt request
Hi there, a year ago you salted Luke Ryan. A person by that name has just been drafted in the 2016 AFL draft. Whilst most newly drafted players aren't notable enough for an article, I like to redirect the new players to a list like List of Fremantle Football Club players#Listed players yet to play an AFL game for Fremantle. So, can you please unsalt? Thanks, The-Pope (talk) 15:31, 26 November 2016 (UTC)
- Create a new article at draft:Luke Ryan. If it gets accepted then unsalting will be uncontroversial. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 20:33, 27 November 2016 (UTC)
Deletion of File:Poly.pov
Hello, This was a POV-Ray source file used to generate several standardized polyhedron images for Wikipedia. It should not have been deleted. Can it be restored or at the very least moved to some appropriate location? — LucasVB | Talk 15:48, 27 November 2016 (UTC)
- This thread suggests that .pov is a file type banned on Commons. If you think such files should be allowed, raise the matter in an appropriate forum on Commons. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 20:33, 27 November 2016 (UTC)
Request to restore UkrGasVydobuvannya
Hi there, I saw you deleted an article I have created. It was not advertising, it was an informational page about the company - a state owned gas producer in Ukraine. Could you explain which information looked like advertisement to you? Could you please restore it / suggest edits. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yozhik304 (talk • contribs)
- Kindly have the decency to wait until someone with no COI thinks your company is notable and writes about it here. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 20:33, 27 November 2016 (UTC)
Could you show any piece of information that was of conflict of interest? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yozhik304 (talk • contribs) 21:22, 27 November 2016 (UTC)
Seriously, ANY not neutral content? Wikipedia is based on 5 pillars and deletion of this article rejects two of them.
Pillar 2: "Second pillar Wikipedia is written from a neutral point of view" - Neither of the provided information had any bias of any sort. Please refer to the Ukrainian version of the page for further details on the company. The English version was only a translation (you can check using google translate).
Pillar 3: "Wikipedia is free content that anyone can use, edit, and distribute". If information is of neutral content - why do you limit my rights to create content? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yozhik304 (talk • contribs) 21:36, 27 November 2016 (UTC)
- (talk page stalker) UkrGasVydobuvannya looks like the Ukrainian equivalent of British Gas, so the odds of Yozhik304 owning a national organisation are fairly slim. (Of course, one could claim that, say, a British Gas engineer shouldn't be editing articles about British Gas or that postmen shouldn't be editing Royal Mail, but I'm pretty sure if I asked the last bloke who read my meter what WP:COI was, he'd probably give me a blank stare and ask me what I was banging on about) I think we should restore the article and send it to AfD to see what consensus thinks. What say everyone else? Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 13:21, 28 November 2016 (UTC)
- Yozhik304, the COI accusation is, I admit, a gross assumption. When you have a good contributions history on a variety of topics, come back and I will withdraw the accusation. Feel free to raise the matter at DRV.
- Ritchie333, yes, I do say that an employee (or in this case, quite likely an intern) writing about a company is COI. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 13:24, 29 November 2016 (UTC)

SORRY, Just new to Wikipedia
Concerning the page you deleted: Afolabi Osho. I created the page out of misconception about wikipedia uses. I have no regret of you deleting the page. It indeed a good thing to keep out irrelevant message. I will also go through many Wikipedia's Terms and Conditions because I still have many article and edits worthy enough to help humankind. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Afolabi Osho (talk • contribs) 00:49, 28 November 2016 (UTC)
Deletion review for Consortiumnews
An editor has asked for a deletion review of Consortiumnews. Because you closed the deletion discussion for this page, speedily deleted it, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the deletion review. RekishiEJ (talk) 10:15, 28 November 2016 (UTC)
Fundamental physical constant
Did you read my rationale for keeping this page at Talk:Fundamental physical constant (disambiguation) before you deleted it? If you did, what was your rationale for ignoring it? Of course, I could have just declined the speedy deletion myself and then carried out the proposed actions, but I did not feel it proper to take an administrative action, and an editor action at the same time over the same issue. SpinningSpark 14:39, 28 November 2016 (UTC)
- Deletion was a technical matter in that the page was an orphaned disambiguation page. But with my limited knowledge of physics, I don't see why the term fundamental physical constant should be restricted to dimensionless ones. So why not be bold and turn fundamental physical constant into a dab page? Failing that raise your concern at talk:dimensionless physical constant with a link to the discussion from talk:physical constant. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 13:24, 29 November 2016 (UTC)
Yes, that was my intention, except that I was going to move the history since this really was a disambiguation before it was redirected. That's why I didn't want it speedied. Since you consider this to be a purely technical matter, I am going to assume that will not object to me undeleting the history. SpinningSpark 13:36, 29 November 2016 (UTC)
- Undeleting which history? Talk pages without articles are not allowed. But go ahead - I will not interfere. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 13:46, 29 November 2016 (UTC)
Thanks
Thanks for your speedy deletions of Cathead. I came across the pages while reviewing some categories. Interestingly, cathead itself is a real topic. – S. Rich (talk) 20:35, 28 November 2016 (UTC)

Hi, I just noticed that you have deleted Superior Challenge's page in English. Can you tell me why? — Babak.aghavali (talk) 20:54, 28 November 2016 (UTC)

you deleted Jarrett Arnold
Hey, my brother set up a wiki article for me and I was going to add information to it this evening, thought it would be fun, but it seems you deleted it. I think I have to ask you to reinstate it so that I can edit it. It was called Jarrett Arnold, which is my name. Thanks for this, Jarrett — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jarrettarnold (talk • contribs) 00:26, 29 November 2016 (UTC)

Deletion of "Oilfield Scale Inhibition" article
You just deleted a new article Oilfield Scale Inhibition without giving any specific reasons. Could you please provide me with reasons for the deletion? Is it because I did not move it to 'article space' before submitting for review? I am a new user and eager to learn from my mistakes and make the article better; I would appreciate your feedback.Thank you. A sample of the article was moved to: Draft:Oilfield Scale Inhibition. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Eampiah (talk • contribs) 18:15, 29 November 2016 (UTC)
- If "(R2: Cross-namespace redirect from mainspace)" is not specific enough for you, I cannot help you. The whole point of draft space is that articles get reviewed there before they are moved to article space. All of your edits are live with the exception of a redirect.
- I note you leaving messages on two user talk pages. These suggest that you are part of a student project. If so, please declare yourselves at WP:SUP. If you are a tutor, you are setting some terrible examples: spurious capitals in titles, boldening section headings and 3.5k bytes of waffle before you got down to the subject. You are not writing an essay! For example you don't tell us what petroleum is - you provide a link to the article which tells us. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 21:42, 29 November 2016 (UTC)
I am a student and I guess a terrible one at the moment but excited to learn.Thank you for your tolerance.I will get to work! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Eampiah (talk • contribs) 07:53, 30 November 2016 (UTC)
Leanplum deletion
Just noticed that Draft:Leanplum was removed as a speedy deletion the other day. I understand that the subject is debatably notable, but I am wondering why it was removed for being "unambiguously" promotional when nearly all of the content was cited. The page was very similar to other companies in the industry, such as Mixpanel, which Wikipedia editors voted to keep after it was nominated for deletion. See Apptimize and Appboy for similar examples. — Sbhagwandin (talk) 21:02, 29 November 2016 (UTC)
- Five attempts to produce a decent article - all rejected. I suggest you should give up. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 21:42, 29 November 2016 (UTC)
Previous attempts aside, I'm not seeing what's wrong with the current version, especially relative to the other companies linked. — Sbhagwandin (talk) 14:24, 30 November 2016 (UTC)
- You have been told five times what is wrong. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 16:03, 1 December 2016 (UTC)
How can I fix the article?
Hello there, I am an intern and I was assigned to create a page for System Dialing Records. It has been deleted because it appeared to be "unambiguous advertising or promotion". I really need to get this article posted for the company but I am confused about how to make it better. Can you give me some tips about what to change in order to not seem promotional? That would be incredibly helpful! Thanks! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Julietteshipp (talk • contribs) 22:25, 29 November 2016 (UTC)
- Go back to the people to whom you report and tell them that writing about ones own company is heavily deprecated and that you have too much respect for Wikipedia to break that rule. Ask them to give you some other task. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 16:03, 1 December 2016 (UTC)
Dunsinan
It appears a question of your trust. You have deleted hard thought work and titled it as Advertising, G11. I can't construct a notable work without some experimentalism. I understand the copy paste rules and need an template that won't be as easily deleted. If and when you do remove my work could you provide more constructive criticism? None of the previous editors have. -- Dunsinan (talk) 23:00, 29 November 2016 (UTC)
- Dunsinan, I assure you that the following advice is intended to be constructive. If you continue to try and submit material to Wikipedia you will encounter nothing but frustration and disappointment as each piece gets rejected. Go back to high Dunsinan hill and from there create your own website where you can publish your ideas without fear of deletion. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 16:03, 1 December 2016 (UTC)
Roger, I would like to submit an article discussing the need of U.S. as coming together and include citations from the social scientist Charles Murray, references of somantic text from news online and journaling; and its influence upon the aborginees and Guanches of the early kingdom great Britan. Is there a sandbox I can practice edit so as to preserve my dichotomies of fare? My intentions are not unimaginable and I would also like to include the 7 steps required to draft, edit, and publish my first markup.Dunsinan (talk) 18:52, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
- You ask "is there a sandbox"? Within minutes after asking me that question, you created an appropriate sandbox. I do not know how to put this to you gently: I predict that anything you do submit will be rejected. I shall, intentionally, stand back and leave it to others to assess your work. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 23:35, 4 December 2016 (UTC)

Hi, I came across Revolutionary Action Movement (RAM) on the de-userfications-by-new-users page and tried to move it to a title without disambiguation, but apparently you have salted Revolutionary Action Movement.

If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply and remove the {{db-afc}}
or {{db-g13}}
code.
If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. Onel5969 TT me 20:18, 30 November 2016 (UTC)

Where in the bloody hell did you get the notion that the photo was a copyright violation? If it's the photo I'm thinking of, I'm pretty damned sure I took that picture myself. - Keith D. Tyler ¶ 05:46, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
- Keith, you really do not deserve a reply because of: a) your over-the-top response, b) your failure to link to the image and c) your vague "pretty damned sure" instead of saying confidently "the image is on my computer with a time stamp of 2007-08-16 12:04:45 and an original size of x×y pixels". I originally restored this and then I said to myself: "I am satisfied that this Keith's own image. So why is he uploading it here? Make him upload it to Commons, preferably with tighter cropping and certainly with no size reduction from the original." You shot yourself in the foot here because of a tatty image description. Make sure you re-upload with proper source and licence details. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 23:35, 4 December 2016 (UTC)

What can be deleted under the "bad title" criterion of WP:G8? Laudato si‘ and Laudato si' share the same ' in their names (the oratorio is called after the encyclic) but not in the articles. Laudato si‘ is not written correctly. My guess is its ‘ was chosen just as a way to distinguish the two. Also whoever searches for (types) "Laudato si" may have trouble to distinguish the two, depending on th font used. Thanks. WikiHannibal (talk) 14:45, 4 December 2016 (UTC)

Redirect request understood
Hi RHaworth, Thank you for the feedback and great suggestions you left on my page. I will definitely implement it. Appreciate your input, please let me know if I can do anything else. — MilenaGlebova1989 (talk) 20:59, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
- What else can you do? Reverse all of moves in this list where you have moved to a two-language title. For example, move Twisting Pose Dedicated to Bharadvaja - Bharadvajasana back to Bharadvajasana and then create a redirect at twisting pose dedicated to Bharadvaja. In any case where the system does not permit you to do the move, let me know and I will use admin rights to do it. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 23:35, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
Bengt Nyman
Re: www.dipole.se by Bengt Nyman. It appears that your mention of "copyright infringement" might not apply since the text in my Sandbox was part of my own work and writing under www.dipole.se. In other words, both works belong to the same copyright holder. Please clarify the rules. — Bengt Nyman (talk) 21:25, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
- Please learn to create links when you talk about stuff. So, go to www.dipole.se and add to the page a declaration that the content is released under a {{cc-by-sa-4.0}} licence. Then revive user:Bengt Nyman/sandbox making sure that you point out that your page at dipole.se is available under that licence: in an HTML comment within the text, in the edit summary and in the page's talk page. But I must warn you that I catch a very strong whiff of original research so do not be surprised if your piece gets rejected. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 23:35, 4 December 2016 (UTC)
I do not expect it to be accepted for publishing on Wikipedia at this point. It is work in progress. However, I also do not expect it to be removed or destroyed. Now that you are aware of the copyright situation please restore my Sandbox. Again, I am not asking you to publish it. — Bengt Nyman (talk) 01:46, 5 December 2016 (UTC)
I am still expecting an answer and the return of the material in my sandbox. — Bengt Nyman (talk) 10:34, 5 December 2016 (UTC)
Please return a complete copy of my sandbox material. — Bengt Nyman (talk) 15:50, 5 December 2016 (UTC)
- I tend to abreact to impatient people. If you do not expect it to be accepted for publishing, why did you apply an AfC submit tag to it? You have your own website, why do you need Wikipedia? Please reply to both. The need for LaTeX might be a reason for wanting a wiki site but you are not using it.
- On looking more closely, I am satisfied that your page is blatant original research. I have emailed you two states of the article. But I am definitely not going to restore it. You may of course go to deletion review - if I happen to notice your request, I shall oppose it. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 18:22, 5 December 2016 (UTC)
Your deletion of User:Cococui/查理·卓别林
Hi, you wrote that you deleted User:Cococui/查理·卓别林 under WP:U5. It's a copy of an article at Chinese Wikipedia, zh:查理·卓别林, that, as far as I can tell, Cococui was planning to translate to English. Oh, wait, I just realized it's about Charlie Chaplin. OK, in that case it would be deleteable under WP:A10. But, still, I'm leaving this note here just because I'm still wondering about the U5.

Request to restore page: I Liq Chuan
Hi, you deleted this page today citing R2: Cross-namespace redirect from mainspace. I had just succeeded in having this page restored, following discussion with editors on notability criteria. Previously, I had written a draft article, but then decided to try to get the original restored. One of the editors then redirected the draft to the restored page, and shortly afterwards you deleted the page. Details here. Could I please ask you to consider restoring the page so that we have the opportunity to work on it. It seems impossible to get the page up long enough to be able to make any substantive changes before it gets deleted again.

restoration request
Hi RHaworth, is there any chance to re-active my user discussion forum, and ignore it for one or two weeks? User:Lena Reibelt/User discussion/EEcommMada. We won't necessarily need it longer than that. The idea of the Open Science Fellow Programme (in co-operation with Wikimedia) is to compare different platforms, and to possibly gain some new Wikipedians. Thanks for considering my request. Lena Reibelt (talk) 23:40, 5 December 2016 (UTC)
- You need to learn how to create wikilinks and how not to use naked URLs to point to other web pages. Why on earth do you need your stuff in three places? It is just creating unnecessary work for yourself collating the responses. If you prefer the wiki format, get yourself pages on Meta where they will be beyond the reach of meddling Wikipedia admins. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 20:57, 6 December 2016 (UTC)

deleted sandbox page
Hello, I'm contacting you because you recently deleted a sandbox page on my userpage, and I would like your help accessing the content of it, since there's no history I can access. I understand the "not a free-webhosting" principle, and I have never (intentionally) used my sandbox pages (nor any other part of wikipedia) as such. I have at various times used sandboxes on my userpage to create sample edits or test pages for pages I wanted to create but wasn't ready to post in real wikispace yet (which I thought was the purpose of sandboxes). I actually haven't done so in quite some time, so I don't even remember what was on that particular sandbox page. I don't intend to re-create the page nor create it elsewhere, but I would like to at least see what was there. How do I recover (or at least view) the content that was deleted? Thank you. Fredwerner (talk) 21:08, 6 December 2016 (UTC)
- You need to learn how to create wikilinks. I suppose three years is long enough for you to forget. I have emailed you the content of the page. I hope you will agree that it was a blatant use of Wikipedia as a free host. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 12:33, 7 December 2016 (UTC)

As I understand it, this file was uploaded to Wikipedia, which is separate from Wikimedia Commons. Could you inform me about why the image was removed? Thank you. Mark Froelich (talk) 00:21, 7 December 2016 (UTC)
- You need to learn how to create wikilinks. Please read this. But why are you asking me since you have already been told very clearly why it qualified for deletion? — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 12:33, 7 December 2016 (UTC)

- What a pity. I seem to have missed several of the meetups recently and I will have to miss the next one because I am Quaking in Croydon. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 12:33, 7 December 2016 (UTC)
Complicated things diaries, I will miss the January one. Perhaps our paths will cross in Feb. ϢereSpielChequers 06:24, 8 December 2016 (UTC)
Deletion of FactoryFinder
Hello RHaworth, I am the author of FactoryFinder article which has just been deleted recently. Before you speedy deleted the article, have you checked my reason/response to not delete it? I didn't not want to remove the Speedy Deletion tag because it's not recommended. However I think it's pretty unfair to delete it without any counter to my reason/response. Would we have a discussion here to resolve the situation? Thank you in advance Cthai721 (talk) 14:48, 7 December 2016 (UTC)
- True, you added several external links to the article but which of them provided significant coverage in a reliable source that is independent of the subject? Kindly have the decency to wait until someone with no COI thinks your company is notable and writes about it here. If you insist on trying to create an article, go to deletion review. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 18:36, 8 December 2016 (UTC)
I have restored Mohammad Usman (Indian politician). There was content before it was blanked. It was even listed at WP:AFD. - GB fan 15:58, 8 December 2016 (UTC)

The article List of other Wives, Wives of Joseph Smith was rightly deleted but for the wrong reasons. The article was essentially a duplicate of List of Joseph Smith's wives. However, the cited copyright violation was wrong as the author of the source states he copied the information from Wikipedia:
- Information derived primarily from Todd Compton's book In Sacred Loneliness - chart from Wikipedia, edited by Joel B Groat
- For more information, including detailed citation and links to articles about some of Joseph Smith's wives with the most extensive documentation, see the original Wikipedia article, "List of the wives of Joseph Smith, Jr."
Further, Earwig's Copyvio Detector shows the content of List of Joseph Smith's wives pre-dates the MIT page. -- Deaddebate (talk) 22:25, 11 December 2016 (UTC)
- Why bother to tell me? — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 18:09, 12 December 2016 (UTC)
Because I don't want the article List of Joseph Smith's wives to also be considered for deletion, especially due to how rapidly the other article was deleted. Because I thought it was worth noting. -- Deaddebate (talk) 23:18, 12 December 2016 (UTC)
Miguel Pro Human Rights Center (PRODH)
Please explain why the speedy deletion of the article Miguel Pro Human Rights Center (PRODH) with no notice to me, the creator. I would like to discuss the notability of this organization, and any other issues that you raise regarding it. Gratefully, Jzsj (talk) 15:49, 12 December 2016 (UTC)
- Please learn to create links when you talk about stuff. Restored. Look at the edit history. You blanked the page. When Ramaksoud2000 saw it, it had been blank for four hours so Ramaksoud2000 made the perfectly reasonable assumption that you wanted the page deleted. Be more careful! — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 18:09, 12 December 2016 (UTC)
Thanks for restoring. My computer with all my Wikifiles went dead last week and I'm waiting for a download of my hard drive to restock my new computer with cues on how to make wiki-links. I did mistakenly delete the article rather than the sandbox. As usual, on the missing link I found my best help for "how to" in previous articles after failing with the maze of "link" articles, and so this should work: @RHaworth:. I'd seriously like to make a "Quick Reference Page for Dummies" like I'm developing for myself. Thanks again!Jzsj (talk) 10:28, 13 December 2016 (UTC)

Any thoughts on what to do with the article since we now have a fork between No más bebés and User:Anamanda97/sandbox? — C.Fred (talk) 20:02, 13 December 2016 (UTC)
- The sandbox version is a apparently a copyright violation, as an unattributed copy of the mainspace article. Copy would be OK if User:Anamanda97 had been the only contributor, but others have contributed so attribution is needed. --David Biddulph (talk) 20:16, 13 December 2016 (UTC)
- Fussing over nothing. I have zapped User:Anamanda97/sandbox. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 23:35, 14 December 2016 (UTC)
Entertainment
Why was my page deleted while I was still editing it? Hello, I am new to Wikipedia and was trying to teach my self how to use it when I spent 6 house working on it just to have it deleted while I was still editing it? I am an entertainer just like all of the other entertainers on Wikipedia so if my page violates the rules then theirs should be removed also. Please explain... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tempastwulf (talk • contribs) 12:44, 14 December 2016 (UTC)

I was in the middle of editing it the way that was requested of me. I am not a computer person so it was taking me longer then most people I guess. The question was not just "why did you delete" The rest of that was "while I was editing" There should be a time limit of 48 hours from the time the speedy request was done until it is deleted. giving the person ample time to make corrections. Not just a "I deleted it fuck you I am old and don't give a shit response." There needs to be a middle ground for people learning how to use this outdated, non user-friendly system. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tempastwolf (talk • contribs) --23:27, 17 December 2016 (UTC) Hello, how can I send you a link to something that was deleted?

Draft Newly Restored...Deleted Next Day
Hi. Long ago, I started an article about Aviva Directory. It was not published because it looked more like an ad than an article. I had a stroke just after that and recently, I finally got to where I can do "normal" things again. I will have to admit that I am a bit slower than I used to be, but that's changing all the time, as I do things and they imprint on my memory again. Two days ago, I requested it be restored. Yesterday, it was restored at draft:Aviva Directory. Today, I logged in with the intention of fixing it, but it was deleted a couple of hours ago. How do I get it back so I can fix it, and how do I keep it from being deleted again? Or do I need to start all over? Thanks. ObadiahKatz (talk) 19:12, 14 December 2016 (UTC)
- How long will it be before you learn to provide wikilinks? Text emailed. If you repost, I suggest a message to SwisterTwister who applied the most recent speedy tag, requesting patience. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 23:35, 14 December 2016 (UTC)
Soon, I hope. :-) I expect there is no time limit if I work on it offline and put it in once I'm done? (I need to study up on what I'm doing.) Thank you, and I will. ObadiahKatz (talk) 23:48, 14 December 2016 (UTC)
- Yes, of course there is no time limit offline. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 19:09, 16 December 2016 (UTC)

Deletion of Cairo contemporary dance center
Dear RHaworth, I was really surprised to realize that you apparently took the unilateral decision to delete an article that I created on Cairo contemporary dance center, under the pretext that it is, according to your only personal judgement advertising.
Cairo contemporary dance center is a non-profit organization and educational institution, exactly like Julliard school or London Contemporary Dance school, among other that already have Wikipedia pages. It is one of the main actors of the Egyptian independent contemporary art scene, and probably the more consistent, with Townhouse gallery . It organizes and participates to many important cultural events here in Cairo, among them Downtown Contemporary Arts Festival D-CAF . Many important local and international choreographers and dancers have come in the center to teach, work, or rehearse, and most - if not all - the current Egyptian contemporary dancers are actually graduated from that school, or attended classes and workshops there.
I would like to know what entitled you to delete this page without warning, putting back in the unknown one of the most important independent cultural center in Egypt. I would like this page to come back, as I am sure that many people would benefit from it, and would be happy to know that this kind of organization exist in Egypt (specially that it's the only contemporary dance school in Africa and the Arab world, that alone should be sufficient to be mentioned in wikipedia...) Looking forward to your reply, Best, Taha Radi — Preceding unsigned comment added by Taha.Radi (talk • contribs) 16:59, 16 December 2016 (UTC)
- It was not just my judgement: it was the opinion of CherylHew as well. I was entitled to delete it under the normal rules for speedy deletions. Kindly have the decency to wait until someone with no CoI thinks your centre is notable and writes about it here. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 19:09, 16 December 2016 (UTC)
- So 2 people who don't know anything about it can decide that this is not notable?? Who told you I have a CoI there? It seems that you could have a CoI for deleting this article... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Taha.Radi (talk • contribs) 14:01, 17 December 2016 (UTC)
Shhhh not booom
Why did quiet suersonic aircraft get deleted? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Planer 12346578955 (talk • contribs)
- OK, this was your first attempt at a user talk page message. Please note such a message must be at the bottom of the page with a == heading (there is a "new message" tab - or possibly just a + sign - at the top of the page to help you do that). It must contain a correct link to the article about which you are talking, thus: quiet supersonic aircraft and it must be signed with ~~~~ .
- To answer your question: it is article suicide to try to draft an article in mainspace. You also alerted quality controllers by the spurious capitals on supersonic and aircraft. Always start a new article in your sandbox or draftspace. However in this case, I suggest: do not create a new article - anything you have to say on this subject should be added to Supersonic transport#Under development. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 12:07, 17 December 2016 (UTC)
