It's not "silly", courtesy blanking is a thing we do when deletion debates and other internal workings cause upset to real people in the real world. Everything you want to see is still in the history. This is not controversial. Guy (Help!) 12:29, 23 January 2014 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: PlayGroundOnline
Hello TheLongTone. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of PlayGroundOnline, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: The article makes a credible assertion of importance or significance, sufficient to pass A7. Thank you. Callanecc (talk • contribs • logs) 07:31, 2 February 2014 (UTC)

Hey, I wanted to let you know I opened up an SPI page for the Far Forest accounts.

SuggestBot (talk) 00:55, 12 February 2014 (UTC)speedy
As reviewing administrator, I removed your speedy from FirstCity Financial and changed it to prod-- tho the consensus seems to be that banks like this aren't notable, speedy requires only a rational claim to significance, and it is rational for someone to think that a bank of NASDAQ might be significant for an encyclopedia
I also remved the speedy on Ankita Makwana[ for the same reason. The combination of things is enough that someone might reasonably think it worth an article.
Please remember that passing a7 requires only an indication of significance , which is much less than notability. This is true even if it is very likely that the article will inevitably be deleted. DGG ( talk ) 17:03, 18 February 2014 (UTC)

Hybrid airship
Thank you for helping out. The new editor is insisting on painting their criticisms as "Engineering considerations" and absolute fact. I am in danger of being drawn into a personal edit war. I don't know if you feel up to reviewing the ping-pong match over the associated section title and content, and let me know how you think this should be handled, I would much appreciate it if you could. Feel free to come down against me if you think I am going wrong. — Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 15:26, 20 March 2014 (UTC)
- I'll do what I can. Many of the edits seem pretty sensible to me...the more I learn about airships the dafter they seem...but the editor clearly doesn't understand that views must be properly cited.TheLongTone (talk) 15:58, 20 March 2014 (UTC)
- What more concerns me is the one-sidedness - the editor will brook no NPOV and demands that their criticisms be presented as the only valid engineering considerations. I have started a new discussion on that specific point. — Cheers, Steelpillow (Talk) 17:09, 20 March 2014 (UTC)
- Agree, have commented to that effect on the talk page.TheLongTone (talk) 17:15, 20 March 2014 (UTC)
- Just seen the anti-LTA rant offered to you on their talk page. I am intrigued to see this from someone who, in this post, claims to have worked for a company that, according to this edit, was set up to sell Metal-clad airships but that subsequently collapsed. Love metal, hate LTA. The logical conclusion is that all that metal wasn't so LTA after all.

- Whetever their level of knowledge, they have no ides how to go about editing. And for somebody who claims 30 years engineering experience, they are very much the drama queen. Funny, I encountered a similar editor a while back who had performed a huge number of edits on the airship article, basically completely restructuring the history in a very unhelpful way & not leaving edit summaries. I left a couple of polite notes on his talkpage but he carried on & when I got fed up & wholesale reverted he did a similar flouncing off in a huff act.

Regarding article - Hammerhead USV-T
Why did you edit the page even after I posted an ''{{inuse}}'' already?? It's sole purpose is to avoid an edit conflict! You only did a very minor change while I was in it for a major copy-edit. In the mean time, I'd cleaned up and re-organized the article, divided in sections and also did manage to more-than-double the page content in addition to adding half a dozen references. And as I went up to save it, The page has undergone changes .. avoid edit-conflict. What? How? I posted...! It took me over half-an-hour to manage this, but was ruined because of a minor cleanup, so in vain. Starting from scratch for one more time now. Abhinav (talk) 18:45, 26 March 2014 (UTC)
- Sorry, just wanted to be able to read the text. FYI, if this happens again you can copy your edits & repaste them into the article.TheLongTone (talk) 18:50, 26 March 2014 (UTC)
- Can't do it. After you click the 'save page', the page is reloaded and renewed with the current content. No use in going back as all the changes have gone away. There has to be something to copy from.. :). Only way out is if you manage to write out the article again.Abhinav (talk) 19:02, 26 March 2014 (UTC)
- You should get a message warning you of an edit conflict, at which point you can scroll down to the bottom where you'll find a window with your edits in it. And sorry again, it's happened to me & it's infuriating, the only excuse I can offer is that a lot of ediors put up th inuse tag and are in fact not editing.TheLongTone (talk) 19:06, 26 March 2014 (UTC)
- It's alright bro. Thanks for keeping up with the good work. Abhinav (talk) 20:11, 26 March 2014 (UTC)

Pedantic Whinge (continued)
Hey man, I'm quite new to being a member of Wikipedia, so just bear with me if this is inappropriate.
Disregarding my rant towards your abuse of language, (which was kind of unneeded, given that I am the one in the wrong, here,) I would really like you to remove the page about that book, if possible. I've read through the rules and guidelines of article deletion, and noticed that there is a mention of a seven-day interval between announcement of deletion and the actual deletion itself. Is it possible, if I ask you as the sole editor of the page, that you can wipe the page completely? (I have a compulsive need for closure, don't ask about it.)
If my behaviour seems somewhat ambivalent to you, don't take it personally. I like drama and giving people a hard time :)
PS. If you read through the plot summary, what did you think of it?BTirbaoqlis (talk) 23:14, 29 March 2014 (UTC)
- I can't delete it (I'm not an admin)...if you really want it gone you, as page creator, can replace the prod template with the csd-u1 template (ie csd-u1 enclosed in double curly brackets {{. Cant simply write the code here , since it causes problems). Or you can simply blank the page & I (or sombody else) can speedy-delete tag it. altho I As to the plot...not really my cup of meat, but a) I'm no literary critic and b) even if I was, I very much doubt whether my taste is much in line with the reading publics'. Has the book actually been written, btw?TheLongTone (talk) 23:32, 29 March 2014 (UTC)
- The book has been written, yes. It is just not so popular, to be honest. You can imagine why, I assume... but the page is deleted now, so I'm fine. Have a good one.BTirbaoqlis (talk) 09:57, 30 March 2014 (UTC)
I declined the speedy - your tag was correct but the authors added enough assertions of importance to void the A7. Not sure if the subject meets WP:POLITICIAN or even GNG, so an AFD might be appropriate. §FreeRangeFrogcroak 18:30, 30 March 2014 (UTC)
Thank You for the Insight
While adding tags I was thinking the same. Thank You for mentioning. Lets's keep the good work.--J Sahu (ଜ୍ଞାନ) talk 13:00, 8 April 2014 (UTC)

Nomination of Cartozoology for deletion
Hello TheLongTone,
I came across the page Cartozoology today, and saw that you had previously proposed it for deletion and said "Probable copyvio, since most google (sic) hits have same text, but since the origin may have been on a non copyright (sic) site (I) am not going down that route."
I pasted the article in quotes into a search engine, and found that it was an exact match of the text at the top of this page. Per WP:COPYPASTE, if a website makes no mention of its copyright status, the material is assumed to be fully copyrighted. Even if the original source was under a workable license, since the content is also posted on a copyrighted site, I propose that it be speedily deleted. Your thoughts on this matter would be greatly appreciated on the the deletion discussion page. Passengerpigeon (talk) 03:24, 27 April 2014 (UTC)

The J.C. Klatch
Hello — About 45 minutes ago, you tagged The J.C. Klatch for speedy deletion, probably because it's a two-line stub with no references created by a new editor whose account name matches one of the names in the article. (Yeah, could there be any more red flags?) But it turns out that “The J.C. Klatch” may be a notable, uhm, individual, as there are references published on independent Websites. Is it possible for the nominator to reconsider a nomination for speedy deletion?

- I certainly don't think separate articles on Aeroscraft , which seems to be a sort of trade name, and Worldwide Aeros Corp, are needed.

Respected Sir, I noticed that you have nominated my pages for deletion / discussion for deletion: Rahul_Kumar_(businessman) & Joy_Ghosh_(businessman).

- The articles are OK as far as tone goes (ie not promotional), but I fail to see that these men are notable: they are just businessmen doing their jobs.TheLongTone (talk) 20:24, 15 June 2014 (UTC)
- Respected Sir, there are notable references from leading newspapers like Economic Times, Business Standard, Reuters and Yahoo, which is quite notable and old (may be 2 years old or more). They are well written by independent journalists and denotes notability. We can say that these articles are biographies falling under Start category but does not go against the Wikipedia rules, these people are notable in some sense which is covered by independent sources (written by journalists and not self written). The reference points are being well proved and I will try my level best to make it better further. I request you to please withdraw the nomination for deletion for both the pages Rahul_Kumar_(businessman) and Joy_Ghosh_(businessman). I assure you further editing. Please acknowledge my request, I will be grateful to you.
Both the people have contributed to the industry, Rahul_Kumar_(businessman) valued WhatsApp at US$ 11 billion before it was sold to Facebook and Joy_Ghosh_(businessman) is the co-fund manager behind India's largest private equity fund which is notable in itself. Sir, I understand they are businessman doing there job, then why we don't impose the same on articles like [[1]] (having several deadlinks as references) and [[2]] which has only two references and both are dead, which does not prove notability at all. I request you to revisit your decision, and withdraw the nomination for deletion. Even I want to respect Wikipedia rules like you, and I want to become a contributor with ethics just same like you, and I assure you if I have not written a advertisement type article, I will further also not contribute anything absurd, this is my deep hearted request to withdraw the nomination for deletion(s). I thank you for your co-operation and support.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Dmitry Lelyushenko, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Orel and T26 (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

- I don't know what you are talking about. The Van Gogh article states in the lead that he was assassinated. All you have done is copy that article, adding one trivial fact.TheLongTone (talk) 11:14, 25 June 2014 (UTC)
