Is Mergers for discussion really the best place for the article? According to the Wikilink, it's not even ready for use. I was told at FAR to try AFD, and now that looks like the wrong idea. It doesn't seem like there is any place to discuss an article like that, which is a shame since there are some people that disagree with its existence/featured status. Should I just continue the FAR, or should I just accept the frustration of being unable to have a complete and thorough discussion? ♬♩ Hurricanehink ( talk) 13:07, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
Mergers for discussion is the best place, because people will keep the article without commenting on the notabilty of the subject, because the process is called articles for deletion not for a merge. Usually when articles get merged in AFD, the nominator wants it to be deleted first, but here is not the case. Try your luck there and delay the FAR for now. Secret account 17:45, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

Hi. This little form letter is just a courtesy notice to let you know that a proposal to merge the projects Wikipedia:WikiProject Free images, Wikipedia:WikiProject Fair use, Wikipedia:WikiProject Moving free images to Wikimedia Commons and Wikipedia:WikiProject Illustration into the newly formed Wikipedia:WikiProject Images and Media has met with general support at Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals/Files. Since you're on the rosters of membership in at least one of those projects, I thought you might be interested. Conversation about redirecting those projects is located here. Please participate in that discussion if you have any interest, and if you still have interest in achieving the goals of the original project, we'd love to have you join in. If you aren't interested in either the conversation or the project, please pardon the interruption. :) Thanks. Moonriddengirl (talk) 16:31, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
Hi. Being listed as a major contributor to the Selena article, I thought you might be able to help with this. I was bordering on an edit war with User:Crodude86 over the articles for Selena's Classic Series of albums that were released in 2006/2007 (I've seen sources listing one or the other). There are five articles for each of five volumes from the Classic Series. As stated in these articles, they are re-issues of earlier albums from Selena's teen years, remastered and available digitally (CD and download) presumably for the first time. As they are re-issues of earlier album, it was my intent to merge each Classic Series article with its original release. The rereleased versions are not necessarily notable enough for their own article and, as they are updates to original albums, I felt a merge was warranted. I was working on Volumes 1 and 2, but the changes I made to the original album articles kept getting reverted. As I created redirects from the Classic Series of albums, Crodude86 though would keep creating new articles with a new disambiguation title (from Selena album to Selena's album to Selena Quintanilla album) rather than reverting the redirects as well. This was never going to end, so I halted and decided to seek third party advice.
According to what the album articles say (as independent sources were difficult to find), the albums I'd like to see merged are:

Hi, I'm surprised you declined to speeedy delete Steel Guiliana (disambiguation) due the presence of a keep on the AFD. The Steel Guiliana article is at the correct title, and contains the exact same text. Regardless of the outcome of the AFD, the so-called disambiguation article will still need to be deleted as it not a disambiguation page, and not a valid redirect.

Hi.

Hi! I am a new editor and I am not sure why there is a copyright issue on the Life in a Jar page that was deleted. I would be glad to make adjustments if I understood what the problem was and where the issue has occurred. I feel Life in a Jar is a very important project and needs to be included in wikipedia's database. I wrote all of the information from my own words other than the quotes listed as being spoken or written by Irena Sendler herself. I have also asked the website owner of Life in a Jar to give permission to the use of information from the www.irenasendler.org website even though I am not sure as to which area I have used information from. I did not copy and past any information on the Life in a Jar page that I created from the website www.irenasendler.org. I would appreciate any help you could provide in solving this issue.

Dear Secret, I understand what is your role, but the CISU article refers to an italian no profit organization, added to add more information in the article List of UFO organizations, the organization CISU [2] is exactly like the British UFO Research Association web site [3] and like all the other organizations indicated in such article.

Hi there. I just want to point out, that your edit summary (not a A3) of the Chabad of South London article isn't accurate, because at the time when I patrolled that article it was empty and had no content.

I'm not sure what you mean, you're accusing me of sockpuppetry, but i've not been using other accounts to vandalize. There's someone out there following my edit history and trying to somehow frame me for vandalism. It seems that the perpetrator has succeeded in his goal. I can assure you that its not me, the user in question has made silly test edits in recent weeks to invalid wiki links on Suede band members from an I.P. address (Edits). I also noticed vandalism to the Jumper article, which i had made contributions to (Edit). They have also been following my edits to articles, which i had proposed for deletion. I actually used the wrong deletion template for those articles, without knowing so. I didn't want them to be speedy deleted, i wanted a template, which would have suggested discussion over deletion. Just incase you thought i was vandalising by misusing templates, i simply copy and pasted a template assuming it to be acceptable, obviously it wasn't. I think you'll notice from the hard work i've put into these articles that an indefinite ban would be very devastating to my reputation. I'm working hard to make articles look professional, how professional does it look if other users see that i've been accused of vandalism. I'm trying to promote certain articles for review, and i'm always making edits to articles, which are mainly music related to improve them. PhilOak ( talk) 22:49, 19 November 2009 (UTC)

Yes I saw, I tend to have a broader criteria for speedy deletion than most newer adminstrators because of experience. I do that with obvious essays, newly coined WP:NEOs and products/software usually, nothing else, per WP:SNOW. The software didn't claim notability at all, and google doesn't has much.

Thanks for the message and the expression of confidence!

There are a few problems that I would face as an RFA candidate. Chief among them is the fact that I really don't do any admin-related work; most of my contributions are in the fields of article-cleaning and content reviewing. Also, my edit count is probably lower than RFA is looking for. I'm thankful that you consider me a trustworthy editor, but I must decline a nom.
