Hi, I was trying to delete a page... and you deleted my attempt...



... and I'm sure it's my fault, and thank you for saying "in good faith." I believe I understand most of the single-page deletion rules. But now I look again, I think I didn't complete step III, with the log notification requirements. Joerg_Dietz ↗ is the page in question. Thanks! 11:22, 22 March 2026 (UTC) Reechard (talk) 11:22, 22 March 2026 (UTC)
:{{reply|Reechard}} You also didn't complete step II, which is to create the AfD discussion page. Also, as per the rest of my edit summary, I'd like to see a rationale for deletion more grounded in policy. The fact that the subject has been involved in editing the article is certainly problematic, but that in itself is not a justification to delete. Promotional content can be removed, bad sources can be removed or replaced with better ones, but that doesn't necessarily mean the article isn't salvageable. That said, my reversion of the tag was in no way intended to pass judgement either on the article or on your nomination thereof--I just want to see that proper procedure is followed. Thanks for listening. --<b style="color: green;">Finngall</b> <sup style="color: #D4A017;">talk</sup> ↗ 19:57, 23 March 2026 (UTC)
::Thanks for your feedback! Much appreciated. I will fix the obvious issues before I try again. I will also enumerate Dietz's sources many of which he is a co-author. Those sources are used to support self-congratulatory statements, and in the aggregate appear to me to be unacceptable in this [encyclopedic] context.
::I'd also be fine with removing the self-published and self-citing content. Thanks again,

Hello



Hello what do I need to do to add images in another articles cuz ur deleting them thank u &#126;2026-17722-26 ↗ (talk) 20:47, 24 March 2026 (UTC)
:{{reply|&#126;2026-17722-26}} The article in question, List of Egyptians ↗, is intended to be a listing/directory of articles, not a photo gallery, and even if the images were to be considered acceptable, they weren't sized and placed properly--they were disrupting the formatting of the lists. --<b style="color: green;">Finngall</b> <sup style="color: #D4A017;">talk</sup> ↗ 20:53, 24 March 2026 (UTC)
:Sorry but one last thing if I use 100px is that ok or do u want me not to upload at all &#126;2026-17722-26 ↗ (talk) 20:55, 24 March 2026 (UTC)
:::{{reply|&#126;2026-17722-26}} My recommendation would be to hold off for now, but if you were to start a discussion on the talk page about adding them, I wouldn't interfere in the matter. --<b style="color: green;">Finngall</b> <sup style="color: #D4A017;">talk</sup> ↗ 21:04, 24 March 2026 (UTC)

The Early Years



Why are you reverting my edits? I added references, no one said it was going to be deleted or kept, but yet you still made it into a redirect. This isn’t adding up. Othersideoftheroad (talk) 20:36, 14 May 2026 (UTC)
:{{reply|Othersideoftheroad}} The deletion discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Early Years (Dropkick Murphys album) ↗ had completed, and the consensus (such as it was with relatively low participation), was to redirect the title to the band page. As I stated in the edit summary of my revert, if you feel that the result did not reflect the consensus of the participants, or that the discussion was procedurally flawed, you may make an appeal at Wikipedia:Deletion review ↗. Note, though, that any arguments should focus on procedure--it is very much ''not'' a place to relitigate the AfD discussion itself.
:If the appeal is unsuccessful, then my suggestion would be to try to write an improved version of the article in draft space, and resubmit it via the Articles for Creation ↗ process.
:Hope this helps. Let me know if you have further questions. Thanks. --<b style="color: green;">Finngall</b> <sup style="color: #D4A017;">talk</sup> ↗ 21:26, 14 May 2026 (UTC)
