Enterprisey

Not all deletes happen through WP:AFD. In this case, Enterprisey was tagged with {{prod}} with the reason given of "nominating prod due to insufficient notability and inability to verify all the claims in the article from a single source". Prod'd articles can be deleted after 5 days. If you wish to have this article resotred, you can click it's red link and add {{delrev}}, then go to Wikipedia:Deletion review and follow the directions there. - UtherSRG (talk) 11:50, 13 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Place a note on Wikipedia:Deletion review so folks know you want the deletion reviewed. - UtherSRG (talk) 21:02, 16 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have restored this page. --Sam Blanning^(talk) 08:46, 17 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! --Nick 19:52, 19 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Bricolage & Popular Culture

If you can find a good source on MacGyver, feel free to readd it. For the most part, pop culture sections tend to be repositories of unreferenced cruft. But, as in this case, there are sources, and it helps explain the topic better, it should be put back in. Cheers! ---RepublicanJacobite_{The'FortyFive'} 23:51, 26 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No worries. Thanks for your helpful attitude. ---RepublicanJacobite_{The'FortyFive'} 01:26, 27 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Big data

The article Big data has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

"Big" can be applied to very many terms. There is nothing notable about it in relation to "data" any more than there is, for example, with "elephants"; WP:NOTDICT.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the Proposed Deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The Speedy Deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and Articles for Deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. I42 (talk) 19:14, 9 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Articles for deletion nomination of Big data

I have nominated Big data, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Big data. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. I42 (talk) 23:10, 9 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Big data - back to life!

You created the original entry Big data that was rm by admins. I came to Wikipedia for a definition and was stunned to see it was deleted! Please reenter the debate and help launch this article? jk (talk) 18:05, 22 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oops - I've been warned for this breach of etiquette known as "canvassing." I went back to everyone involved in the debate regardless of their original vote and notified them. Mea Culpa. So anyways: Congrats on your noticing this concept early. All we needed was proof that secondary sources were talking about the word itself. That is the laser-thin distinction between unacceptable neologisms and notable new words. jk (talk) 21:21, 12 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Goat rodeo

The article Goat rodeo has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Only one source, and that dubious. "Goat roper" is a known perjorative for a person of rural background, but this phrase has a totally different meaning, appears to be a WP:NEOLOGISM and falls under WP:NOTDICT

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Speedy deletion nomination of Boys Life (Boston band)

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Boys Life (Boston band) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from http://80squestmusic.blogspot.com/2012/02/from-to-z-by-boys-life-february-8th-80s.html. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images taken from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to use it for any reason — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. The same holds if you are not the owner but have their permission. If you are not the owner and do not have permission, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission for how you may obtain it. You might want to look at Wikipedia's copyright policy for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 14:15, 5 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
