NA1000, if you didn't know what SwisterTwister (talk · contribs) and I meant, why didn't you ask us before making assumptions? I stated that the subject didn't meet the WP:ORG guidelines and that's what I meant. Certainly the sources aren't out there, and Swister's comments suggest that s/he has observed the same. I'd initially PRODed it based on the lack of adequate sourcing both in the article and in the wider world, and the sources added when it was dePRODed did not assuage the notability concerns because the reliable sources just don't exist. Please undo this foolish close. –Roscelese (talk ⋅ contribs) 21:30, 2 June 2016 (UTC)

Guild of Copy Editors June 2016 News
Hello everyone, welcome to the June 2016 GOCE newsletter. It's been a few months since we sent one out; we hope y'all haven't forgotten about the Guild! Your coordinators have been busy behind the scenes as usual, though real life has a habit of reducing our personal wiki-time. The May backlog reduction drive, the usual coordinating tasks and preparations for the June election are keeping us on our toes! May drive: Thanks to everyone who participated in last month's record-setting backlog reduction drive. Of the 29 people who signed up, 16 copyedited at least one article, 197 copyedits were recorded on the drive page, and the copyedit backlog fell below 1,500 for the first time! Final results, including barnstars awarded, are available here. June Blitz: this one-week copy-editing blitz will occur from 12 June through 18 June; the themes will be video games and Asian geography. Coordinator elections: It's election time again; how quickly they seem to roll around! Nominations for the next tranche of Guild coordinators, who will serve a six-month term that begins at 00:01 UTC on 1 July and ends at 23:59 UTC on 31 December, opens at 00:01 UTC on 1 June and closes at 23:59 UTC on 15 June. Voting takes place between 00:01 UTC on 16 June and 23:59 UTC on 30 June. If you'd like to assist behind the scenes, please consider stepping forward; self-nominations are welcomed and encouraged. All Wikipedia editors in good standing are eligible; remember it's your Guild, and it doesn't run itself! Thank you all again for your participation; we wouldn't be able to achieve what we have without you! Cheers from your GOCE coordinators Jonesey95, Miniapolis and Baffle gab1978. To discontinue receiving GOCE newsletters, please remove your name from our mailing list.

Looks like they created it twice as Amina Elshafei and Amina elshafei. Wgolf (talk) 00:28, 13 June 2016 (UTC)
While I can understand your relisting to allow others to comment, the issues brought forth in the early delete votes of Sheepythemouse and SwisterTwister have been addressed and the nominator himself has changed his stance based upon improvements. Though it would be great if they did, I do not expect either Sheepythemouse or SwisterTwister to return to admit they were initially mistaken in their disregarding of guideline and, as AFDs are be to be determined through application of policy and guideline and not through a simple count of heads, if anyone were to close it early, I would not expect it to be taken to WP:DRV. Thanks and be well. Schmidt, Michael Q. 17:20, 14 June 2016 (UTC)
Hi, it's me, Sheepythemouse. I did look up sourcing for this, but as I do not speak Nepali, I was unable to judge whether the sourcing was adequate or not? I don't think that a new user should be expected to apologize for such a small mistake. This is the kind of behavior that discourages new users from returning to Wikipedia. I will say that I have learned from it, but at the time I could not find adequate sourcing that I, as an English speaker, could read for a upcoming Nepali film. I'd also advise you, in the future, to not assume that just because one is a new user, one would not admit to mistakes, or read comments about oneself that I, as a new user, find a little bit off putting. I do know about the guidelines for deletion of certain types of articles, and being in the wrong about one film is something I admit to doing, but not something that needs to be displayed on both the deletion page and this user's talk page.

Hello. You deleted the article about Torkil Veyhe after a discussion in November 2015. He has recently won his first UCI points at the Himmerland Rundt in Denmark, which is part of the Europe Tour 2016 and a few days ago he won a cycling race in Denmark called Marcello Bergamo Cup (also known as Pinsecuppen in Danish), he won one of the stages (the second of three) and was the winner of the general classification. He won against cyclists like Lasse Norman Hansen og Matti Breschel. I don't know if these recent results change anything regarding his notability or not? --EileenSanda (talk) 11:14, 19 May 2016 (UTC)
@EileenSanda: It's still unclear if the subject meets WP:NCYCLING, listed in part below:
A male cyclist is presumed notable if he:
Source review
I think that WP:GNG applies to Veyhe now. TV2 i one of the largest Danish TV-channels in Denmark, it is private and has also local channels, this one the TV2 Øst is for Eastern Jutlandia with Aarhus, where the team comes from. The other source is Feltet.dk, which was established in 2003 and three years later became the latgest cycling-internet website of Scandinavia. I would say that it is reliable and independent. --EileenSanda (talk) 21:18, 18 June 2016 (UTC)
@EileenSanda: At this time, I'm not going to perform more research regarding this subject, because I am working on other matters. If you would like, I can userfy the article for you to User:EileenSanda/Torkil Veyhe or another suitable title of your choosing, where you can improve the content to demonstrate that the subject meets notability guidelines. After this, if you feel that the subject meets notability guidelines, you can then place ((Userspace draft)) atop the page and then select the "Submit your draft for review" link, which will submit the entry to Articles for creation, where your submission can be reviewed. I strongly recommend taking this route, whereby an uninvolved, third-party reviewer can assess the notability of the subject. Note that if the article were to be republished verbatim in the state that it was in at the time of deletion, it would qualify for speedy deletion per WP:G4 as a recreation of a page that was deleted per a deletion discussion.

Hi! Have seen you recently on AfD. Would like an independent read on Escape The Room Challenge. It has local media coverage in reliable outlets. Two that say that it's going to open soon and is part of the global trend of escape rooms. One that says that a new addition may be particularly advanced. But I couldn't really tell you why it's notable. Thanks for the advice. Chris vLS (talk) 17:00, 14 June 2016 (UTC)
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Escape The Room Challenge is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Escape The Room Challenge until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. --Rinaku (t · c) 19:10, 19 June 2016 (UTC)

Disappointed that you chose to delete the impartial information on this company. Is that all you do? Just delete things? Do you add any value to this website? Good for you, you saved Wikipedia's hard disk from 500 bytes of information storage !! Maybe 20 people a year may have benefit by this. But you have seen that Wikipedia has just saved .000001 cents. Congratulations! However, your actions have cost my annual donation ($30-60) to Wikipedia and any further edits from me.
