Please read before posting[edit]
- Post all new sections under a new header at the bottom of this page, not at random. If you make it clear you ignored these instructions by placing it elsewhere, I am likely to ignore your request in turn.
- If you leave me a message here, I will respond to it here, as fragmented discussions are confusing. I may or may not leave you a notice that I've responded on your talk page. If you specifically request that I do (or do not) give you such a notice when I respond, I'll honor that request. If I contact you on your talk page, I will watchlist it so that I can respond there. If you'd like to leave me a notice when you respond (a ping will also suffice), it would be appreciated, and you'll probably receive a faster followup.
- No lulztxtspk or emojis on my talk page, please. "You" is spelled "you", "though" is spelled "though", "because" is spelled "because", "people" is spelled "people", and so on. There is no character limit on Wikipedia comments, so there is no need whatsoever for ad-hoc abbreviating. If you don't even take yourself seriously, don't expect me to take you seriously either.
- If you are an admin here to ask me about someone I blocked for vandalism or spamming/advertising, they've agreed to stop it, and you believe they intend to edit productively, go ahead and unblock them. If you still want my opinion please feel free to ask, but there's no obligation. For more complex cases I would appreciate a heads-up, but please go ahead with your best judgment if I don't seem to be online. I would appreciate it if you'd let me know after you do.
- If you are here to discuss edits made to an article, please use the article talk page, not this talk page, to discuss them. If I made the edit and the question is specifically directed at me, you are welcome to ping me.
- If you email me a question or request, and do not indicate why the matter is sensitive and must be handled privately (and such is not immediately obvious), I may ignore it or respond on your talk page rather than by return email. Talk pages are open to other editors to read, and so are the preferred method of communication for matters involving Wikipedia. If the matter you are speaking to me about is Wikipedia-related and would not violate anyone's privacy by being posted publicly, please use my talk page instead of email. This does not, of course, apply to editors who are blocked from editing, though I still may respond on your talk page rather than by return email.
- If you are here to ask a question regarding deletion of any kind, please read this before asking, and ask only if you need further clarification or still disagree after reading. If you ask a question answered there, I'll just refer you to it anyway.
- While I will generally leave any personal attacks or uncivil comments you may make about me here, that does not mean that I find them acceptable, nor that I will not seek action against attacks that are severe or persistent.
- I reserve the right to remove, revert, or immediately archive any material on this page, but will do so only in extreme circumstances, generally that of personal attacks or outing attempts against others. I will only revision delete material on this page in accordance with the revision deletion policy, and will clearly denote the reason why.

Thank you for taking the time to close Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Aa Bhi Ja O Piya. However, I believe that the WP:ATD of redirection to List_of_Hindi_films_of_2022#October–December should have been implemented rather than straight deletion. Two of the delete comments mentioned redirection as a reasonable alternative to deletion and the general concern non-notability due to insufficient coverage doesn't necessarily mitigate against redirection or retention of history. Cf. Wikipedia:Deletion_review#Amy Eden for a similar case. Thanks for your consideration. Eluchil404 (talk) 20:34, 13 April 2024 (UTC)
- Eluchil404, if you think it ought to redirect somewhere, you can do that. The title is not protected. Seraphimblade Talk to me 23:20, 13 April 2024 (UTC)
Deletion of article about TDO Book[edit]
I'm a longtime editor in Spanish Wikipedia but this days I created my first article in english edition because I'm enrolled at the #everybookitsreader campaign for writing and enriching article about books (fiction and non-fiction). The article about de book "The discipline of organizing" has been flagged as promotional. But it's not the case, TDO Book is a well-known notable work that deserves a Wikipedia article. It's used for more than ten year in many Information Schools all over the world, and has been published and reissued by MIT Press, Berkeley University, O'Reilly and other recognised publishers. Its author Robert J. Glushko has an stable article in Wikipedia and I was enriching content about its more spread, and also contested, work. The article was newtral and with references to reviews, linking to translations and also its recent innovative version for kids. Let's talk, I'm sure we can improve together Wikipedia. Tsaorin (talk) 08:09, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
- Tsaorin, as you have been involved in writing promotional material, please first clarify if you are being paid or otherwise compensated to edit Wikipedia, including being asked or expected to do so as a duty of employment or internship. If so, you will need to make the required disclosures before we proceed. Seraphimblade Talk to me 11:42, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
- Of course I'm not a paid editor. I use this textbook every semester and due to the recent release of a very innovative version for kids, I realize that the link to the book in the author's article didn't redirect to an own article. I've to elaborate a non promotional and objetive text, including reviews negative and positive, because other academics have concerns with the main proposal of the books. I'm editor of Wikipedia in spanish for more than ten years, and evangelist of peer collaboration, open content and Wikidata. Tsaorin (talk) 12:04, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
- Just looking at the lead paragraph of the opening text, I see:
is a seminal work
,serving as a foundational manual
,it provides comprehensive guidance
,offering invaluable
,It is well known
, and the rest of the article goes on and on with puffery like that. Leave out the adjectives ("seminal", "foundational", "comprehensive", "invaluable", everything like that). If you think that constitutes "non promotional and objetive [sic] text", I would encourage you to review our policy on writing neutrally. The frequent use of needless puff adjectives is not neutral writing. Stick to facts confirmed by reliable and, importantly, independent sources, and present them in an entirely neutral tone; do not in any way "talk up" the article's subject.

Deletion of Opus Literary Alliance page[edit]
Hi, Seraphimblade, I was surprised and kind of shocked to come to Wikipedia and not be able to find Opus Literary Alliance (OLA) listed anywhere when I had just posted it a week or so ago. We received no notice that it would be deleted. You didn't contact me at all, so I didn't get a chance to discuss it with you. It just appears that you took down the page and moved on.
Like the Lambda Literary organization or the Golden Crown Literary Society or the American Library Association's Stonewall lit folks or countless other LGBTQ-related organizations, OLA has been created as a nonprofit to serve the needs of members, in particular, the writers of lesbian works. Everything about it is notable. Everything about it should be welcomed and approved here. A page entry here is appropriate because there aren't very many queer organizations of this scope represented on Wikipedia, and this one already has many members involved who DO have wiki-pages. I just hadn't gotten a chance to update them yet.
It sounds like you deleted it because I updated one of the member-director's pages. I intended to update quite a number of pages and link them to OLA. (Of course my team and I continue to build pages for lesbian writers which we then have to fight about with editors who don't seem to grok why queer organizations matter, are notable, and deserve a place at the wiki table.)
So your decision to delete OLA makes no sense. Could you explain to my team and me why you took down the page? We are all seriously aggrieved, and we are hoping that you will reverse your decision and restore all our hard work.
Thanks for your attention to this matter, DMT Dmthompson (talk) 04:53, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
- Dmthompson, what is "my team"? If you're affiliated with this organization, you will need to make the required paid editing disclosures before we proceed further. Seraphimblade Talk to me 05:45, 15 April 2024 (UTC)
