Hello Stifle,
I hope the holidays went well for you. So I've worked my butt off on this wikipedia page (this was my first page ever). I hope everything is in order. Please let me know if there is anything wrong with it, or if it can be submitted. I tried to make it as accurate and concise as I possibly could. If there are minor flaws that involve coding that I don't understand, could you make those changes for me? I had to watch so many youtube videos until I figured out how all this code stuff works. I definitely bit off more then I could chew.
Thanks for all your help!

Hi, could you please undo your closure of the DRV for the climate change article? As the admin whose closure is being contested, I would prefer that the discussion runs the full minimum of seven days required by procedure, so as not to give rise to later complaints that the the review discussion was flawed in any way. Thanks, Sandstein 12:26, 10 January 2014 (UTC)
Hello Stifle, Six years ago you closed the AfD on this article, which was deleted on notability grounds. Since 2008, several more papers appeared in the peer-reviewed literature.

Per the deletion review rules, I am asking you before posting there. Please consider undeleting or userfying Sophie (software), so that it can be cleaned up and updated, or if necessary merged with another article.

I noticed that my article Voice to skull was deleted without any reason given. I would really appreciate your explanation as that would help me understand the working of Wikipedia better. - Synsepalum2013 (talk) 20:27, 18 January 2014 (UTC)
Onthis, I don't disagree with the "keep" closure, but I would strongly caution about considering the fair use and likeliness of being sued issues as a reason to keep or delete an image. These points are only valid in considering NFCC#2 (commercial opportunity) which obviously wasn't the case here. NFC is carefully crafted to assume fair use defense will be met by properly meeting the rest of the NFC criteria, and we ask people to avoid trying to justify images by the fair use claim since the purpose of NFC is to minimize non-free. Again, I'm in full agreement of the close, just that the reasons you used are not strong policy-based ones which you could have justified this for. --MASEM (t) 23:03, 18 January 2014 (UTC)
I got a watchlist notification that you deleted this at FFD, but the file is still there, and the log doesn't show any deletion or subsequent restoration. What did you do, and is there something wrong? --Stefan2 (talk) 20:33, 19 January 2014 (UTC)
The Wikipedia page File:EnStage logo.png has been deleted on 2014-01-19 by Stifle, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:EnStage_logo.png. Editor's summary: [[Wikipedia:Files for deletion/2013 October 31#File:EnStage logo.png]]
You deleted the file but there are many sources describing al-Sisi's announcement of Morsi's removal on national television depicting the picture. See this one for example → BBC -Egypt crisis: Army ousts President Mohammed Morsi. There's also this video uploaded by Al Jazeera on YouTube illustrating the whole announcement. I failed to reply to User:Stefan2 because they replied very late and i almost forgot about the discussion, but now i'm back and call for WP:DRV. Fitzcarmalan (talk) 19:45, 21 January 2014 (UTC)
Hello Stifle, I noticed your participation in closing some of the image deletion discussions for January, so I was wondering if you could take a look at some even older January discussions, regarding the first three files related to Brimstone, File:Brimstoneredcarpet.JPG, File:Brimstone & Valentino Autograph Signing.jpg and File:Brimstone.JPG, seems pretty straightforward to me. Thank you very much! starship.paint (talk | cntrb) 08:44, 22 January 2014 (UTC)
I would like to understand what the issue was with the Acacia Fraternity Crest. The note indicated that it violated NFCC#1 which indicates that there is a free equivalent available to what was deleted that has the same effect. What sort of Free equivalent would there be?Naraht (talk) 19:07, 24 January 2014 (UTC)
. There are a *considerable* number of additional characteristics that would have to be specified in order to make a full blazon, and as far as I know the closest to a full blazon that you would find would be in the brotherhood ceremony, which would be inappropriate to publish as there is additional information in that description which is not public (for example, the reason for the torches). If you could locate a official blazon for the Acacia Fraternity Coat of Arms, then that might be fine, but otherwise, I believe that determining what characteristics are relevant for a blazon would be original research.Naraht (talk) 23:45, 24 January 2014 (UTC)The mark consists of a coat-of-arms design containing a shield bearing three torches, three trefoils, a sword and a smaller shield containing a cross and drops.

User Stifle, I am inquiring as to under which authority your deletion of this page was under. I provided the appropriate sourcing and Wikipedia compliance on the page;『Keep Sources are provided for the information presented. This band meets number 7 of the criteria for Detroit post-hardcore, which has been sourced in the article appropriately: 7. Has become one of the most prominent representatives of a notable style or the most prominent of the local scene of a city; note that the subject must still meet all ordinary Wikipedia standards, including verifiability.』
This page is just as relivant as any other musical group page on Wikipedia. Please review this criteria and respectfully request you re-consider this deletion.— Preceding unsigned comment added by GMoneyWCAR (talk • contribs) 18:25, 26 January 2014 (UTC)

Thank you sincerely.--Thewhitedoe (talk) 01:09, 28 January 2014 (UTC)
Hi, pretty weird that you nominate to delete a page, and now I have to use Internet Archive to retrieve the info.

Hey, I noticed that you closed the AFD discussion for this page as keep. Including myself, at the time of closure there were two editors for keep and two for merge. Would this not be a case of 'no consensus' rather than a consensus for keep? I realize that consensus isn't a vote, but it didn't seem to me that the arguments on either side were so lacking in merit to cause a debate with equal supporters on each side to be swung one way or the other.

I have removed the {{prod}} tag from Evo Morales grounding incident, which you proposed for deletion. I'm leaving this message here to notify you about it.

Hi Stifle. The article is important and needs to be improved in the future being a royal prince of the King and the forefather of other royalty. If you still think it should be deleted go for AFD. You also posted on my redirect talk page and not on my page btw. Thanks. Jaqeli (talk) 19:44, 3 February 2014 (UTC)
Hi there - can you G8 delete The Secret Princess? It was previously redirected to TransTales Entertainment via AFD. Both the article and talk were full-protected because it kept getting recreated so I can't nominate it directly. Thanks! --ElHef (Meep?) 16:43, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
Why did you delete Ian Lewison? There was another nomination for deletion which the result was keep. According to the archive of the discussion it said "This article has been altered significantly from the deleted version".

hello
I was the original author of the The Mighty Liberators Drum and Bugle Corps. This was my one and only wiki page creation so I evidently did not create the best piece of work per Wikipedia norms. My apologies. I just discovered that the page was deleted last month by you. I was not aware of the discussion unfortunately and could not provide any helpful feedback. There were questions raised about authenticity or relevance.
As one of the original members of this group, which was actually quite historic in the USA and is now defunct, I am eager and willing to figure out how to edit it to meet Wikipedia standards. The group was very real and very relevant in drum corps history.
Can you help me understand what changes are needed to restore the article? I'd be happy to do some editing prior to its undeletion. Also, can the old article be sent back to me for editing?
The comments that I just found in an archive of the AFD debate are: "Ridiculous tag-bombing apart, this article, created in 2006, still fails to meet the most elementary criteria for inclusion under WP:GNG, WP:ORG, and WP:BAND. ...This artical is very badly written and needs sources to prove notability and to me it seems the best option is to nuke it and start over... If they performed at a DCI competition (as the article states), I would say that makes them notable--that being said--if no sources can be found to be able to rewrite a well-sourced article, then this article cannot be kept. Judging by the article's age and its inability of be improved within this time, it doesn't seem to be notable enough for a proper article to be established. I feel like a tourist (talk) "
I am not aware of what the "tag bombing" problem is, or what improvements are needed. Is there any direction or advice that can be given ? Thanks.

Greetings,
You deleted File:Ahmed Siddiqu, son of Aafia Siddiqui, in 2008.jpg as F7 -- replaceable. If there was a discussion as to whether it was, or wasn't replaceable, could you point me to it?
If there was no discussion are there conditions where you would agree the image was not replaceable?

This photo has been incorrectly deleted. This was a photo taken by and owned by Braniff Airways, Inc., that ceased operations in May, 1982. As a result of a March, 2011, court order all Braniff logos, likenesses, and photographs were remanded to the public domain with no restriction on their use including reproduction and sale. Thanks so much Mmb777e (talk) 01:53, 23 February 2014 (UTC)
Here is the abandonment of trademark and likenesses which included all original Braniff materials. Also I am in possession of the only photos in which you are questioning and therefore own the rights to these photos. They are not owned by Alexander Calder's Estate or The Calder Foundation. All Calder related Braniff artwork, etc was owned wholly by Braniff Airways, Inc.

Mmb777e (talk) 02:24, 24 February 2014 (UTC)
Hello Yes indeed that is true but the case included and deemed that all likenesses of Braniff including all trademarks, copyrights and any materials associated with the airline were public domain. The problem here is that I purchased ALL of Braniff's public relations materials and photos at an auction at DFW Airport in 1983. With that came the rights to ALL of the copyrights to the materials and photos. I have made a statement to that effect and sent a note to Wikipedia permissions email. I am not sure what to do here. I have stated that the photo copyrights are mine and I would think that would release Wikipedia from any harm. All of the photos in question I have the photos as well as the original negatives and slides. I am President of Braniff Preservation Group, LLC and have a large collection of original Braniff materials. Any suggestions here beyond the statement I have sent to permissions? Thanks so much.

Hi. I object to your closure comments on this one. "Bad form" is not a recognised wikipedia classification, as far as I'm aware; it was your personal opinion and had no place in the summation. Administrators' opinions as to the point at which an article should be nominated for deletion vary, and I believe you should have limited yourself to stating that the article had been brought up to standard. Deb (talk) 09:03, 24 February 2014 (UTC)

Because you and others were instrumental in forming our current tennis guidelines on seasonal articles for special players, I though you might be interested in the re-visit being discussed at talk:projectTennis. Currently, because of input from that 2011 discussion, any singles player skilled enough to win a grand slam tournament is allowed continuous seasonal articles. No grand slam tournament win, no season article. A grand slam tournament win in 2012 allows seasonal articles in 2013 and 2014 whether or not more grand slam tournaments were won. I was against these articles, but even I have to admit it has worked reasonably well and there really haven't been all that many articles made. A recent deletion of the 2013 Maria Sharapova tennis season has brought this to the forefront once again and we at Tennis Project are trying to decide if we leave things as they are or narrow the parameters in several different ways. We could use more input (whether your views have changed or not). I gave the old discussion link so you can see your original thoughts, but all those who gave their view before are being invited to discuss. Thanks.

You tagged Julien Blanc with {{Criticism}}, which added a box to the page that says "This article's Criticism or Controversy section may compromise the article's neutral point of view of the subject. Please integrate the section's contents into the article as a whole, or rewrite the material." Not including the References section and two paragraphs at the top of the article (the lead and "Work with Real Social Dynamics"), this article's Controversy and criticism comprises the entire article. Therefore it may be better to either tag the article with {{POV}} or to add {{Criticism section}} to the sections within Controversy and criticism that you believe compromise the article's neutral point of view? --82.136.210.153 (talk) 03:19, 21 November 2014 (UTC)

Dear Stifle, I am writing to ask for a little more explanation for your decision to delete and salt the article. My reading of this is that closure was incorrect as it did not reflect consensus of the debate given the timing of the contributions. The article as written and as nominated was probably autobiographical and overpromotional. And this led to the nomination of the article and to the support for deletion and salting by User:David Eppstein. He suggested the article "would need a ground-up rewrite by a neutral party to be sure of getting rid of the promotional content and so far the only significant contributor to the article has been the subject". I subsequently did that and thought I had removed all the autobiographical material and rewritten the article in a more neutral tone and provided additional supporting references. I have contacted User:David Eppstein here User_talk:David_Eppstein#Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion.2FSantosh_Mehrotra. I thought I should ask here for advice. Best wishes (Msrasnw (talk) 10:50, 18 December 2014 (UTC))
Hi Stifle. I think the sources provided by Yankees10 (talk · contribs) and the analysis by Rlendog (talk · contribs) at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Zach Collier clearly demonstrate that Zach Collier passes Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline. At the time of redirection, the article contained several paragraphs of encyclopedic information about the subject that was sourced to multiple reliable sources. Would you consider revising your close of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Zach Collier from "redirect to List of Philadelphia Phillies first-round draft picks" to "no consensus"? Thank you for your consideration. Cunard (talk) 18:25, 18 December 2014 (UTC)
I removed the prod tag from PRIME (PLC) after replacing the reference/link for the specification from the one listed on the alliances homepage with the one from International Telecomunication Unions (ITU) standards organization. The alliance has an upcomming standards proposal listed on their homepage. I could not find a reference/full text outside of alliances homepage so I left that link.
I did find some deployment figures in papers presented at international converences, but they all date back some years. So I thought it might be valid to cite the alliance on that?
Please let me know if the changes are not yet enough to satisfy a removal of the prod tag. Emb.enth (talk) 10:17, 24 December 2014 (UTC)
