Mean Jeanne Shaheen

Here is a source for this nickname... "http://granitegrok.com/blog/2013/12/jeanne-shaheen-lied" I don't understand why it even has to be considered negative thing... nobody ever complains about Mean Gene Okerlund's page. Of course, the positive/negative conotations are irrelevent, people do refer to her by this nickname regardless. Please reinstate this redirect page.--Dr who1975 (talk) 17:30, 24 February 2014 (UTC)

Deleted article Jason Peterson

Would you be so kind as to provide a copy of the deleted article Jason Peterson for me? I believe that the subject, a venture capitalist and CEO of numerous notable digital rights management companies may be a stronger candidate now. I'd like to have a look at how much of Peterson's history was included in the deleted article and make a determination if there is enough new press on the subject. Thank you! 009o9 (talk) 19:00, 31 July 2014 (UTC)

The article there, over 7 years back, was under 1100 characters long, and was a (likely) vanity page about an aspiring comic book creator. I really doubt it's the same person. So there's really no point to restoring anything to you. - TexasAndroid (talk) 16:46, 29 August 2014 (UTC)

Deleted page: "Gavin King (Developer)"

You deleted this article 2 years ago: 14:55, 21 September 2012 TexasAndroid (talk | contribs) deleted page Gavin King (Developer) (A7: No explanation of the subject's significance (real person) (TW)).

I don't know how to view the deleted article to even see how poor and lacking it was. But I'm petitioning for a reverse ruling and I'm willing to do a certain amount of work to improve it.

Anywhere you find Java and Databases you are bound to find Hibernate. LinkedIn currently shows over 2,000 jobs related to Hibernate. Mainstream media is not going to cover it any more then they are likely to cover drive shaft differentials. Like a differential, Hibernate is an unseen but critical internal component that connects a database to an object-oriented programming language in a very powerful way. Unless you understand databases and object-oriented programming, you aren't going to be able to appreciate the importance of this very special connection between them, hence limited awareness outside of software developer circles. But that doesn't make it any less important to the running of the internet!

Gavin King (Developer) is

• the creator of Hibernate (Java)
• a "Star Spec Lead" on the JCP and Java Champion
• Author of Java Persistence with Hibernate, and other books: "Hibernate in Action" and "NHibernate in Action."
• The subject of interviews by JavaFree.org, JavaPerformanceTuning, and numerous interviews, talks, etc. on InfoQ
• The ACM hosts an excerpt of Gavin King's Infoworld article. Here they mention him in a publication.
• A speaker at numerous conferences. I'm getting tired of posting links, but he's spoken at tech conferences around the world, such as Q-Con in Bejing in 2011.
• RedHat/JBoss is currently promoting (and also financing?) his Eastern US speaking tour.
• Not so notable a source, but Mykong considers him the second-most important person related to Java. I agree.

Maybe if you let me know what you need in order to prove notability (notoriety?) I could provide more targeted references?

Thanks so much for your time. — Preceding unsigned comment added by GlenPeterson (talk • contribs) 18:23, 17 September 2014 (UTC)

The entirety of the page at the time was "A developer behind Hibernate.". Nothing more. There's really nothing there worth restoring.

And especially in a case like this where the previous page was pretty much worthless, the fact that it was deleted then should really be no barrier to you just going ahead and creating the page yourself. There really has been no judgement made one way or the other as to whether he is notable, but rather the judgement was that the previous sub-stub page did not give even a possible claim that he was notable.

Assuming that you do create the page fresh, *then* it'll likely be analyzed as to whether he's notable. And that'll depend in good part on the strength of the sources that you can show. I'll almost certainly not be the person making that judgement at that point.

So, I'm not going to restore the page, simply because there's nothing there particularly worth restoring. But feel free to go ahead and create a brand new page there as if there had never previously been anything there. - TexasAndroid (talk) 18:38, 17 September 2014 (UTC)

Cool - thanks! --GlenPeterson (talk) 20:35, 17 September 2014 (UTC)

Not so Jolley

I think you called it right - the rules say that if others have contributed to the article, G7 can't apply. However, those IP edits removed content. And after that bit of rabbinical Jesuitry, the actual creator (no, not Him...) requested deletion. So I deleted. What I wasn't happy about was the edit summary "Management did not approve" on the IP delete request. Management approval be jiggered. It would be good if someone else made an article about the girl... Peridon (talk) 18:32, 23 September 2014 (UTC)

Nomination of Korduene for deletion

Read the title and why is that? — Preceding unsigned comment added by RebinF (talk • contribs) 18:04, 10 October 2014 (UTC)

Please read WP:NOTE. WP uses a concept called notability to determine whether or not a subject deserves an article. And I saw no sign that the software in question meets those criteria. - TexasAndroid (talk) 18:25, 10 October 2014 (UTC)

I have read that, my mistake, seems like I have forgotten to include third party resources, which I have just added, anything else do I need to do? RebinF (talk) 19:27, 10 October 2014 (UTC)

I'll give the 3rd party sources a look when I have time. For now, the AFD can run it's course. If others see your new sources and agree that they meet the qualifications for Reliable Sources, then you'll likely see some Keep opinions coming to the AFD. As a bit of FYI to you, for a source to be considered one that helps establish notability, it needs to be 1) Reliable, 2) Non-trivial, and 3) Independent. Blogs are generally not Reliable. A mention in a list is trivial. A reprinting of a press release is not independent. - TexasAndroid (talk) 19:35, 10 October 2014 (UTC)

Work Material

WHY DID YOU DELETE A WORK MATERIAL? - — Preceding unsigned comment added by HollywoodEditorOne (talk • contribs)

You'll need to tell me exactly what page you are complaining about. I delete things for many different reasons, in line with project policies. If you can tell me the specific page, I can look up the reasoning I used. Without that, I really cannot help you. A glance through your history shows the only article deleted from your current account is Akos Letray, and I'm not the one who deleted that page. - TexasAndroid (talk) 13:16, 13 October 2014 (UTC)

From User:Hiimpaul3eyedmonkey

Why do you have a page, I've never fucking heard of you - — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hiimpaul3eyedmonkey (talk • contribs)

You're right. I'm pretty much a nobody. Just a simple computer programmer from San Antonio. And I don't have a "page". At least not in the way I think you are implying. There's no article about me in article-space, nor should there be. What I do have is a User page, in User-space, that reflects who I am as an editor on Wikipedia. The different spaces serve different purposes, and have totally different requirements for what goes there. You have a user page too, and that's fine as well. - TexasAndroid (talk) 18:49, 16 October 2014 (UTC)

London's third airport

Hi TexasAndroid, I saw your PROD on the above article. I have declined it as it is too soon to make a judgement on the notability of the topic. Seven minutes between creating the article and proposing it should be deleted is hardly anything. As Leutha has been editing since 2005, I suspect they will develop the article more fully and not be put off from editing, but perhaps if they were a new editor they might not be so resilient. Maybe a little more time could be given in future. Nev1 (talk) 13:59, 30 October 2014 (UTC)

I will leave the situation in your hands. - TexasAndroid (talk) 14:02, 30 October 2014 (UTC)

Sigma I-67 and II-67 war games

Hello,

I see that you have deleted the above newly created article under clause WP:G7 without notice to the creating editor (me). However, as you were not the author of said article, that clause does not apply. I would appreciate your restoration of this article so that I may work on it.

Thank you.

Georgejdorner (talk) 13:11, 13 November 2014 (UTC)

Actually, the creator of the page, you, did blank it. [1] That is generally considered enough to let G7 deletion be invoked. That said, by your comments above, this blanking is most likely inadvertent in one way or another, and so the page has been undeleted (and unblanked). - TexasAndroid (talk) 13:55, 13 November 2014 (UTC)

Deletion of a user sandbox

Hi TexasAndroid, Please could you let me know rules and why my user sandbox was deleted? I had assumed every user has a right to a sandbox. Many thanks MB — Preceding unsigned comment added by Cosmic-antidust (talk • contribs)

A series of things happened.

1) Your work in progress article was moved to Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/James Arthur Cumming East. This left a redirect in place from your sandbox to the moved page.

2) The page was later deleted as being abandoned.

3) After it was deleted, I deleted the now dead redirect from your sandbox to the previous location of the page. I didn't delete your sandbox as such, but a redirect.

4) Then, a few days ago, the page was restored, apparently at your request. That's fine.

That leaves the question of what to do moving forward. I could restore the redirect easily enough, but that's all there is for me to restore. The page itself is at the new location, and if you are wanting to work on it, you really should do so at the new location now.

As for the sandbox, I would suggest you leave it blank for the moment. My removing the redirect does not stop you from using the sandbox for something else. So, once the current page is dealt with, if you want to work on something else new, feel free to start up a new page in your sandbox.

That all said, if you want the redirect restored, I'll do it, but I don't personally see the point. But I will restore it if you want it to be there. - TexasAndroid (talk) 15:38, 17 November 2014 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Made in USA Brand Certification Mark

The article Made in USA Brand Certification Mark is on course for deletion by 11/25/14, will its deletion include the image file attached to it ? The creator of the Made in USA Brand Certification Mark wants both the article and the logo file page to be deleted from Wikipedia. Could you please advise? Thank you. AndreaAufden (talk) 15:21, 19 November 2014 (UTC)

Let's let the PROD of the article play out first. If it is properly deleted, it'll be a lot easier to get the image deleted as well. If *anyone* opposes the article deletion, the image will need to stay until/unless the article gets deleted another way. PROD is nice because it's simple. The reasoning can be almost anything. But the wrinkle of that simplicity is that it only takes one opposition to invalidate the PROD. Beyond that, there is a full deletion debate. There, arguments are needed that the article does not meet one or more requirements for inclusion on the project. That can be more tricky. For now, let's see what happens with the PROD, and revisit the whole issue in a few days after the PROD is resolved one way or the other. - TexasAndroid (talk) 17:14, 19 November 2014 (UTC)

Thank you very much - I appreciate your kind tone and quick answer.AndreaAufden (talk) 20:54, 21 November 2014 (UTC)

redirect

This edit is just a redirect, so think it shouldn't be stay here, and per moving action. Chander 17:10, 20 November 2014 (UTC)

A redirect is still a valid piece of the history. The redirect was created by someone else. You effectively changed that redirect into an article. The fact that it was briefly at another name really isn't big of a deal, though the history does show that with the Move action. It was there for all of 2 hours. That's my reasoning on the matter. - TexasAndroid (talk) 18:37, 20 November 2014 (UTC)

My edit was a "Request delete" edit, not created article edit, And there is just two edits (one is redirect and second is delete request), And about history, So delete both edits again that you restored after move. Chander 19:14, 20 November 2014 (UTC)

I'm sorry, but the net effect of your actions was to put a brand new article in the place where a redirect had previously been. IMHO the results of your actions are the important things, not the odd path you took to get there. And based on the results, the current situation is the proper outcome. If you want the edits deleted, you'll need to explain why they need to be deleted, and why you took such an odd series of actions just to overwrite a redirect with an article. An action that would normally have just been a matter of editing the redirect to place your article. - TexasAndroid (talk) 20:28, 20 November 2014 (UTC)

• @User:Chander: If a page has only redirect edits, overwriting that redirect with an article is often done. In this case "Jewel of India" only meant the medal, and accordingly redirected to Bharat Ratna, until recently someone changed the circumstances and wrote a film with the same name. I have put a disambig hatlink in page Jewel of India. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 09:44, 21 November 2014 (UTC)
