Nikki Phoenix

Hi there! You were both generous with your time, and helpful years ago when I asked for you help and advice. I ask you for your help, as the Nikki Phoenix article has been places up many months ago by other editors, has passed review as meeting Notability underWP:PORNBIOwhich it does in many areas, and has been subsequently vandalized, and then nominated for deletion by the same editor. Numerous editors have come to it's defense, clearly citing Notability across a broad spectrum, and I would ask you to goto the deletion deiscussion page, read the history check the links for yourself to see that she in fact overqualifies in 2 (not just 1) areas for Notability underWP:PORNBIOand please cast a Vote to KEEP the article so that it can continue to be worked on and grow, and so that it will not be come and example of how to Vandalize and the be able to Delete a page that many editors worked hard on. Any help you can lend would be greatly appreciated!

Idea for The Beatles (album) move review

Firstly, thank you for putting that discussion to bed. It was past time for the next step. I'll wait a while and let another user start the move review, but I wanted your opinion on a point I plan on stressing in the move review (and that nobody touched on in the discussion). Namely,WP:NATURALDISmentions that in the presence of two common names, the one without a need for parenthetical disambiguation will be preferred (i.e. "White Album" ). How suitable will that point be to the move review?Dralwik|^{Have a Chat}21:43, 14 June 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for the feedback. I realize move review probably isn't going to change this outcome, and there isn't anything amiss with your specific closure, but I am hopeful that the heightened emphasis on policy will permit a clearer reaction to the policies in my argument without the noise over what "the proper name" would be, and give me an idea of howWP:NATURALDISis received by the other side. My vote would likely be "overturn to relist via policy-based rationale," spelling out the relative lack of discussion on the policy merits of my idea.Dralwik|^{Have a Chat}02:29, 15 June 2014 (UTC)

Move review forThe Beatles (album)

An editor has asked for aMove reviewofThe Beatles (album).Because you closed the move discussion for this page, or otherwise were interested in the page, you might want to participate in the move review. - I don't mean to disrespect you and I apologize to you if it was in any way disparaging to you on a personal level. I just think the close was not in the least bit in line with how we close move requests and how we're supposed to judge consensus here at Wikipedia.RedSlash08:22, 15 June 2014 (UTC)

Can I ask you to do me a favor as a 3rdparty/admin/someone-who-supported please close the 3 RMs as "withdrawn by proposer"; with blatant canvass and theTalk:Hillary Rodham Clintonfactor there's no value to the community in prolonging this. Would you mind?In ictu oculi(talk)16:37, 1 July 2014 (UTC)

Okay, then maybe I should reconsider. Thanks for that perspective. By HRC factor I evidently meanthis,yet again, if it isn't obvious. After such a heavy canvass in recent edits the well is poisoned whatever the result. But I suppose it can take it's course and some other poor admin will wrap it up when it clogs the backlog. No big issue either way, it's of minimal utility compared to creating content. Thanks again, appreciated it.In ictu oculi(talk)18:10, 1 July 2014 (UTC)

Daniel Dombrowe

Dear Xoloz, I would kindly ask you to explain why you deleted the article about Daniel Dombrowe. There is no such thing as the promotion of himself as an entrepreneur nor as himself as the DJ. The main focus of this article lies on Mr Dombrowes efforts regarding the Baltic Soul Charity. A charity founded to support artists who have been betrayed by their management. This is an importand topic to Mr Dombrowe, to the artists and of course to a lot of people and Wikipedia Users. I would like to ask you for advice on how this article can be written to avoid any thoughts of promotion and on how it is possible to introduce Mr Dombrowe as a really important person in music business.

xpadder article

Hello Xoloz, I'm here, referred from a websearch of "xpadder" an article you removed. My question is, if many other articles about small free softwares are allowed, like SumatraPDF, why disallow this one?Semitones(talk)14:45, 20 August 2014 (UTC)

Deletion

Hi Xoloz. A while back you opposed my nomination for speedy deletion of the pageKeith Loris.CCing@Ronz:,who was subsequently involved in wikifying that page. I have only nominated one or two pages for deletion, so could I call on you two for an opinion on whetherAkiko Yugemerits a place in an encyclopaedia?Rui ''Gabriel'' Correia(talk)22:01, 6 November 2014 (UTC)

As sourced, I think it is at high risk for deletion. With only those sources, the article seemsunduewith that amount of content. --Ronz(talk)22:17, 6 November 2014 (UTC)

Nikki Phoenix

Hi Xoloz, hope things are well with you, I wanted to touch bases with you, and ask you if you could please check the article you moved into my sandbox regarding singer/writer/actress Nikki Phoenix, I refocused the article on her mainstream endeavors as you suggested to avoid the stygma of the adult business associations, as she now has an Album as well as songs out (available on iTunes, Amazon Etc.) and a book as well as numerous other accomplishments and awards nominations. I strongly feel that she more than meets requirements for Notability, but would love for you to check the article and see if it is good enough now or if I need to source more reference materiel.

Thanks again for encouraging me to work on the article more and not to be discouraged by some of the other editors I have interfaced with.Art javier(talk)18:13, 24 December 2014 (UTC)Art_Javiersandbox20:21, 16 December 2014 (UTC)

Hello, on April 2014 you deleted the Ming Xi page because of "Expired PROD, concern was: zero evidence of notability".

You deleted my page "Les Enfants Terribles (café)"

Hi. Just discovered you deleted my page. I haven't logged in since creating it so I was never informed of the threat. You admit to a cursory investigation - and yes, my problem has been the paucity of information. I do now have some external links which will prove it existed if that's your beef? I really don't understand the problem. Obviously I am the primary source for a lot of information as this is something I've been researching for some years now. The interest is the key role the coffee bar played - it now looks to be the second espresso bar and the first discothèque in London. So can the page be retrieved or resurrected or will I have to create a new page? The wiki entry is quite important for obtaining contacts - Google's been a great help. It's difficult to know how interesting any subject may be outside the circle of those interested, right?
