Wayne Riddell[edit]
PS: This is not a promotional piece. Wayne Riddell was considered, along with Elmer Iseler and Ewan Edwards, to be one of the premier choral conductors in Canada. Appointed to the Order of Canada (the highest civilian honor), he had a significant professional career, as documented in his Globe and Mail (Canada's national newspaper obituary, in his entry in the Canadian Encyclopedia, and many other sources which I've listed. Please reconsider so that this important musician be remembered appropriately. Ekalaka59324 (talk) 20:13, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
- Ekalaka59324, submitting the exact same content as a draft was probably not the best thing to do. Drmies (talk) 21:37, 2 May 2024 (UTC)
- Drmies, thanks. Ekalaka59324, I'll reply later today. P
lease don't be tempted to try to create the article a third time until you've seen my reply, that won't end wellJimfbleak - talk to me? 05:29, 3 May 2024 (UTC)

- replied on user talk page. Clearly notable, but no functioning refs and promotional tone Jimfbleak - talk to me? 07:47, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
- I'll rework it. How do I then resubmit it. Ekalaka59324 (talk) 11:53, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
- I reworked it per your feedback. I hope it's OK or close. I've done the best I can as I'm old and this is a bit too complicated for me... so any help you can give is much appreciated. Ekalaka59324 (talk) 12:25, 3 May 2024 (UTC)

- Ekalaka59324 nearly all the problems remain. Your text still has a promotional tone a fine music program which still flourishes today, it still has no references apart from the three that don't work, and you still haven't responded to the COI query. The only obvious change is that you restored the list of external links that I said Drmies had removed, and I've now removed again. I'm old, too, but I don't think my guidance is that high-tech. Find proper inline references for all the text, make sure they work, don't stick a list of external links at the end, write neutrally. I'm going to be away for most of tomorrow, so I'll leave the draft for now to give you some breathing space, but if you are unwilling or unable to follow the guidance, I'll stop you creating this article altogether Jimfbleak - talk to me? 15:18, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks. I'm certainly not unwilling. I will try very hard to rewrite it per your advice. Ekalaka59324 (talk) 18:39, 3 May 2024 (UTC)
- Sorry, I didn't understand the COI; now I do. I am not a friend of Mr. Riddell and haven't seen or had any contact with him for more than 40 years. I did take a couple of courses from him in the late 60s and we overlapped for maybe 4-6 years when we were both on the faculty at McGill in the late 70s. I was saddened to learn that he had passed and surprised that he did not have a Wikipedia page, given his stature in the choral community. Ekalaka59324 (talk) 21:43, 3 May 2024 (UTC)

- Ekalaka59324 When you are ready, add {{subst:submit}} (as you see it here) to the top of the page and save, that will create a review box and a reviewer will eventually either accept the draft, or reject and explain why. He's clearly notable, so it's likely to come down to what the reviewer thinks of your refs. Jimfbleak - talk to me? 12:35, 5 May 2024 (UTC)

Deleted page query.[edit]
Hello! I created a page for the band Nineteen Eighty-Four. It is not in any way a promotional page or an advertisement, however it was created to provide more information relating to the band and their history. I'm unsure why it was deleted and not moved back into my drafts if there was an issue with the page. I'm looking for more information on why it's ultimately been deleted. Thanks!

NextLabs[edit]
Thanks for deleting the draft and blocking the user. It was hard enough getting them to admit to their paid editing, and then I made the mistake of trying to advice them on their draft. But they don't take a blind bit of notice of any of it, just plough on regardless with their spamming. Well, now they won't... Cheers, -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 12:17, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
- DoubleGrazing, thanks, you're a better person than me. Their evasiveness on COI and determination to post what they wanted did them no favours either. Jimfbleak - talk to me? 12:20, 6 May 2024 (UTC)
- Ha! It's not often I'm accused of being a better person, but I am trying to work on my people skills. :) -- DoubleGrazing (talk) 12:28, 6 May 2024 (UTC)

I understand the reasons for the deletion, but I assure you that the page is not advertising and if it has any advertising content, I will edit it.If you allow the page to be published, I will be grateful. Thank you for your cooperation and goodwill. paymanbarkhordari (talk) 09:27, 8 MAy 2024 (UTC)
- User:Payman Barkhordari, there are issues with COI, independent third-party sources, WP:Notability (organizations and companies) and a promotional tone, but it was deleted as a copyright violation, and won't be restored for legal reasons. Please don't attempt to recreate until you understand the problems I've indicated and make sure you can address them all Jimfbleak - talk to me? 15:29, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
Jacob Narverud page protection - new draft just appeared[edit]
Hia @Jimfbleak. I note that Draft:Jacob Narverud is indef protected.
User:FurenPhage/sandbox just appeared, thought you might want to take a look. Qcne (talk) 16:48, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
- Qcne, thanks. I can't see any resemblance between the new draft and the deleted version, so I don't think there's any socking issue. There may be other problems, but if the draft is accepted, I'll unprotect Jimfbleak - talk to me? 15:34, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
