For a player stub, either delete it or improve it, but DO NOT redirect it to the club page. Matthew_hk t c 15:19, 24 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Also for Albert Duro, Jérémie N'Jock, Vojislav Vranjković, Jean-Philippe Mendy, Ricardo Gomes Vilana, Liviu Hapaină, Dejan Rusmir, Nemanja Vasiljević, Eugeniu Cebotaru and Nemanja Vidaković. Matthew_hk t c 10:52, 25 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Next time call for Football Project member to expand it or Afd it, like me. Matthew_hk t c 12:18, 25 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

In general, for sub-stubs where a larger article offers as much or more information as the sub stub, then IMHO redirecting to the larger article is a perfectly valid option. These articles would almost certainly fail AFD, because the people do qualify for notability. But as long as the page offers no real useful information, and the target page offers as much or more information, then I consider redirecting a valid option. I consider redirecting to be a less extreme option than deletion, even if deletion was a valid option. Redirecting leaves the page ready and easily restored by anyone ready to actually create a useful stub. Deletion makes what little information is there availible only to admins, even if the pages qualified for deletion, which these most likely do not. - TexasAndroid (talk) 13:07, 27 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Agents of Oblivion

An article you deleted, Agents of Oblivion, may have been deleted in error. This band was created by Dax Riggs and Mike Sanchez from Acid Bath. If this information was included in the article then that is an assertion of notability (#6.Contains at least one member who was once a part of or later joined a band that is otherwise notable), making it not eligible for the speedy deletion category used. Reason for deletion: (A7 (group): Group/band/club/company/etc; doesn't indicate importance/significance) Duffbeerforme (talk) 11:31, 29 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Restored. You made your poinjt well. - TexasAndroid (talk) 12:41, 29 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thankyou for restoring this article. Can I also ask you to restore Agents of Oblivion (album) for the same reason. Duffbeerforme (talk) 05:03, 31 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Done - TexasAndroid (talk) 13:14, 2 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Moving of the entire Cat talk page ot an archive

Hello, just saw that you moved the entirety of the Talk:Cat page to an archive. While I understand that some of it may need archiving, it would be best to leave the more recent threads on the talk page. Can you look into it, please?--Ramdrake (talk) 18:32, 29 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Never mind: just saw you did just that. Thanks!--Ramdrake (talk) 18:33, 29 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yep. There are two types of archiving, move and cut&paste. I do move archiving, which means I Move the page, taking the history with the archive, and then I have to rebuild the existing talk page by cut&pasting back what should remain. When you come into it in the middle of the effort, things look incomplete. :) - TexasAndroid (talk) 18:34, 29 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry. Those did not make sense to me. I'll look at them a little more closely and try to figure out what you were wanting. - TexasAndroid (talk) 15:38, 4 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Are you dumb or just a robot? Delete User:ThatWikiGuy/gWatch.js, User:ThatWikiGuy/gwatch.js, User:ThatWikiGuy/iwt/de:User:Luxo/gwatch.js. – T W G 15:40, 4 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Removing category, High Schools in North Carolina

Just wondering, why are you removing all these schools from this category? (I'm sure there's a reason I'm missing out on.) Thanks! A13ean (talk) 02:21, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Because I'm putting them into the more specific category for the city, and the "HS in city" category is in the "HS in state" category. With a few exceptions, articles are not supposed to be in both a category and any parent/grandparent of that category. - TexasAndroid (talk) 04:35, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Makes sense, thanks! A13ean (talk) 12:11, 11 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

revert redirect on Musicstation

Hi TA,

I would like to request unprotection for the cashU page, it's an online payment solution like Moneybookers or Paybycash, heavily used in the Middle East.

--slashgod (talk) 3:58 22 June 22 2008 (IST)

You had four different admins delete it. At no point did you provide an article that came anywhere close to meeting the requirements of WP:CORP or WP:V. At this point I'm not inclined to give you a fifth try at it. There is, however, another option for you. You can create a version of the article in your user space, likely at User:slashgod/CashU. Once you get it to a point where it meets the criteria in the links I gave just above, you can petition to have the salting lifted at WP:DRV. Do be aware that you will need to provide reliable, independant, non-trivial references to establish the notability of the company. - TexasAndroid (talk) 13:34, 23 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Seattle Knights deletion

I am unsure as to what I did wrong and was put on the speedy delete list. Pardon my "newness", but I was in the process of adding references and more information when the article was deleted. I believe that this acting troupe is VERY noteworthy (as any actors within wikipedia), it is not a club (as is the SCA - which is included in wikipedia). And the troupe has performed in many areas of the United States. (Some not yet listed in the article). I am still asking for help finishing this article from those more knowledgeable about the troupe. I would also welcome any help from the wikipedia administrators, as this is my first article. (I still can't figure out how to add pictures!) I copied this from my talk page to yours, because you seem very knowledgeable, and I have had no answers to the aforementioned questions. Have I added the correct type of information, now? (I am getting more. Some are newspaper articles, which I was unable to find, but I know are archived ).

Help!

I'm dealing with a kiddie-wiki vandal bouncing back and forth between two accounts vandalizing the Buffalo Bill article. Left word on AIV, but there's a backlog and this idiot isn't giving up. Can you clobber him for me, please? Thanks! --PMDrive1061 (talk) 01:19, 2 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

thanks

Thanks for all your recent category edits on California articles. I think you're moving things in the right direction. Please keep up the good work. Stepheng3 (talk) 17:54, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome. I do general city category sorting work, and work down the list at List of United States cities by population. I'm a bit over #100 for general places cleaned up. But every 3-6 months I go back over the higher population ones to sort out any articles that have crept into the city categories since I last visited. And, as usual, I often get onto tanget sorts like the San Francicso Bay area hospitals sorting I was doing a couple of hours back. :) - TexasAndroid (talk) 18:44, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

stop

excuse me . stop reverting my edits. you dont know fucking shit about Dan Cook. He is a redneck.75.8.83.150 (talk) 14:27, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

And you need to provide sourcing/verification for your inflamitory accusations. - TexasAndroid (talk) 14:29, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I have atleast 5 people that know that "event" took place '77. They saw that match. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.8.83.150 (talk) 14:32, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

And your sourcing (that meets WP:RS) for this is.... what? People that you have met do not qualify. Anyone can say anything. I don't know if you are correct or making up a bunch of crap, and without proper sourcing, there is no way to know which it is. And without that, such potentially libelous material cannot remain in the articles. - TexasAndroid (talk) 14:35, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

TexasAndroid, I have over 10 people that there were at that event in 1977. Btw, there are some things that alot of people might not know about Mr. Dan Cook. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.238.71.34 (talk) 22:00, 13 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Btw, the people I interview , and met I have the interviews in recordings on tapes for your information 70.238.71.34 (talk) 22:02, 13 July 2008 (UTC). But if you dont want the "truth" on wikipedia then it I will keep till ...forver I guess.[reply]

Please Help Me

I don't understand why you deleted my page Homemade Jamz Blues Band, I understand the initial deletion based on the the requirement to show the significance of the group. My following edit added the fact that they are the youngest blues group to ever sign with a major label. That they are also the recipients of a number of pestigious awards.

I will also be adding the following in subsequent edits. The fact that they are so succesful at such a very young age makes thier acheivments extremely notable at the least. That they are making these inroads into a genre dominated by much older individuals is also extremely significant given thier young age. They are also pioneers in the creation of the instruments that they play which I intended to focus on in another article. Thier guitars are handmade out of automobile mufflers.

I checked an article on David Wilcox, and american folk singer and failed to see any info there as to why he would be significant.

I understand and very much appreciate the high standards of the wikipedia community, I just don't understand what type of significance your requiring for acceptance here.

Homemade Jamz Blues Band

Hello! Earlier today, you twice deleted articles submitted about the Homemade Jamz Blues Band. The second deletion caught my attention, because I was in the process of removing the Speedy Delete tag, since the article in question had citations concerning the band's notability.

I wanted to let you know that I did some Google snorkeling and came up with additional independent sources that confirmed the band's notability. A new article (a stub, actually) is now online. I hope this can be preserved and allowed to grow, as the band's notability can easily be confirmed. Thanks! Ecoleetage (talk) 18:02, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Current version looks good enough from avoiding CSD. Sounds like we were just at bad timing with that last deletion. - TexasAndroid (talk) 18:05, 11 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, the deleted article did mention the band's appearance on NPR, which is why I was removing the Speedy Delete tag. In any event, I am glad this happened -- I never heard of the band before this and I think I may purchase their CD based on the music sampling I've heard online! Be well.

Deletion of Pfadfinder und Pfadfinderinnen Österreichs

Hi, I'm (mainly) editor in the German version of the Wikipedia and thus know little about the rules in the english-langugage version. I wonder why you deleted Pfadfinder und Pfadfinderinnen Österreichs though. I guess that was a redirect on Boy Scouts and Girl Guides of Austria. Don't you keep redirects from the official (german) name (that is Pfadfinder und Pfadfinderinnen Österreichs [1], de:Pfadfinder und Pfadfinderinnen Österreichs) to the articles name you chose (if you have to translate that at all, what I oppose, but that's a different topic)? --Wirthi (talk) 16:55, 12 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It was one of several marked for G6 Housekeeping. That generally means someone wants to rename another page into where the G6ed page is. If that has not been done by Monday, I'll restore the redirect. - TexasAndroid (talk) 22:32, 12 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, thanks for the clarification. The only reason - other than a redirect on Boy Scouts and Girl Guides of Austria - for that page would be to move Boy Scouts and Girl Guides of Austria there. I doubt anybody will do that without further discussion. --Wirthi (talk) 10:07, 13 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The rename has now been done, and it was exactly the rename you predicted. As for whether it's the right rename or not, I'll stay out of that one. I just facilitated what appeared to be a reasonable rename. - TexasAndroid (talk) 15:23, 13 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, again thanks for your clarification. The article has in fact been moved to the proper german name (what I strongly support, but had not expected). --Wirthi (talk) 16:07, 13 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oink (water buffalo)

I didn't look far enough in the history, which is my dumb fault - G3 vandalism tags don't count when they are themselves vandalism, even if well-intentioned. I've restored the article and the AFD. Thanks for the catch, UltraExactZZ ^Claims~ Evidence 14:27, 16 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please explain to me why a G7 delete isn't valid if I am the creator of the article and contributed to the majority of the content (~80%). I will report you for not following policy if you continue to decline.
