Hi NorthAmerica,
I have some questions relating to why this page was deleted off Wikipedia. Is it possible to have it reinstated so that I can have it's notability better enhanced? Please. Raffobeast (talk) 08:33, 29 December 2014 (UTC) Kind Regards
User:NorthAmerica1000 Hi NorthAmerica, Thanks for getting back to me. As you can see in the original article that quite notable links had been provided. The article also contained a reference to an official charts page where the artists work had appeared under his stagename "Weekend Warriors" (See position 11) chart. Under Wikipedia's terms and conditions this falls under notable achievements. I am waiting on one more source of information to come and I will provide this to you so you can see. For now the links that had been referenced are below including one further one at the top.

Yours faithfully Raffobeast (talk) 00:57, 9 January 2015 (UTC)
Hi User:NorthAmerica1000 Thanks for taking the time to reply to me. I do appreciate your feedback regarding non-reliable standards but I think in this instance the article does in fact meet the minimum standard for inclusion as per the below.
How to meet the requirement, An article must be based upon reliable third-party sources, and meets this requirement if:
Reliable: A third-party source is reliable if it has standards of peer review and fact-checking. In general, the more people engaged in checking facts, the more reliable the publication. Third-party: A third-party source is independent and unaffiliated with the subject, thus excluding first-party sources such as self-published material by the subject, autobiographies, and promotional materials. Sources: At least two third-party sources should cover the subject, to avoid idiosyncratic articles based upon a single perspective. Based upon: These reliable third-party sources should verify enough facts to write a non-stub article about the subject, including a statement explaining its significance. Once an article meets this minimal standard, additional content can be verified using any reliable source. However, any information that violates What Wikipedia is not must be removed, regardless of whether or not it is verified in reliable third-party sources.
Also another notable reference for Ryan Rafferty's page which wasn't included in the original page was the collaboration between himself and Micky Modelle under the stagename "Nimrod" which was included in a very reliable BBC radio track listing entry- source here. http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/davepearce/tracklistingarchive.shtml?20061217 (See Nimrod - My Life).
As you can see this does establish the minimum criteria.
If you could grant my request I will see that more references and links are included and the page is improved. It would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you. Raffobeast (talk) 01:22, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
Hi User:NorthAmerica1000 Thanks for replying. I appreciate your reply and have taken your advice and opened a deletion review case. Raffobeast (talk) 04:27, 15 January 2015 (UTC))
An editor has asked for a deletion review of Ryan Rafferty. 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. Raffobeast (talk) 04:27, 15 January 2015 (UTC)

Can you see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Indian century (3rd nomination)? The nominator who previously edit warred on this article as well as Chinese Century seems to have a habit of making copy-paste argument and copying the sentences of opponent[5] and heavily wikilaywering. I have removed his comment twice and he still don't seem to be understanding WP:BLUD. OccultZone (Talk • Contributions • Log) 01:11, 18 January 2015 (UTC)
The only disruptive conduct is OccultZone deleting other arguments he doesn't like. OccultZone is doing the same thing as well as resorting to personal attacks.

Would you check WP:Articles for deletion/Dr.Ahmedaalzagtat? I had reverted the relisting, and the same editor reverted it who had relisted. There is consensus to delete, also the article is very non-notable, poorly formatted. OccultZone (Talk • Contributions • Log) 03:09, 24 January 2015 (UTC)
Hello, I've noticed that you have recently closed the AFD that I nominated at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Behavioral Competencies as "no consensus". I found it a little amusing because it is impossible to form consensus when nobody even makes a comment in a period of three weeks. But jokes aside, should I have just used the PROD instead of AFD? And looking forward, is it possible to tag it for PROD now? My understanding is that it is not allowed after an AFD, but in this case it is possible to argue that an AFD didn't happen. Thanks, AtHomeIn神戸 (talk) 04:23, 16 January 2015 (UTC)
Hi NA, where is that Wikipedia policy wording re: deletion discussions that says an AfD nomination is considered a Delete !vote and therefore a nominator is not allowed a bolded Delete !vote as that would be a duplicate? I remember reading it, but now I can't find it. You can answer here, as I will put this page on my watchlist. Thanks very much. Softlavender (talk) 11:45, 19 January 2015 (UTC)
Hi, I'd like to ask your advice about WP:Articles for deletion/Red Bull House of Art. I was participating seriously, but now it feels like I've been getting fooled. This appears to be a continuation of an offline feud. Some of the participants seem to know each other and are making comments that the rest of us can't follow. There are allegations of harassment and sockpuppetry, one editor claims he created the article for money, etc. From their histories, some are new accounts or have returned after a long absence for this. What to do in a case like this? Would early closure be warranted? – Margin1522 (talk) 23:48, 20 January 2015 (UTC)

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help.

Hi, as you know I am working on Smart lighting and added image there yesterday, but some one tagged it as "File permission is missing". I have added proper evidence and it is clear now.

Limited License from Silver Spring. You may store, display, view and print copies of the Materials solely for non-commercial use within your organization (or if you are an authorized Silver Spring partner, your customer's organization) in support of Silver Spring products, services and technology. No other use of the Materials is authorized.
(Underline emphasis above mine.) The problem here is the part where it states, "in support of Silver Spring products, services and technology", because while the image is being used for non-commercial use on Wikipedia, the image is not being used in support of Silver Spring products, services and technology, and per their terms, no other use is authorized. However, you have seven days from the time the deletion template was placed to provide evidence to the contrary that the image may somehow qualify. However, because Wikipedia does not exist to support Silver Spring, it seems unlikely. NORTH AMERICA1000 04:34, 28 January 2015 (UTC)
