Rugby LeagueHi WWGB. I notice some of your entries to the List of Rugby league incidents were deleted, which I restored again. There seems to be a concerted effort to reduce the list, even though such incidents are continually in the headlines, and the newspapers themselves publish similar lists they've compiled themselves. I'm against the recent name change, which extends the name to be extraordinarily long, and inserts word "player" into the name, as an excuse to go through the list deleting incidents by coaches and other league entities (even though they are always present on-field and an essential component of the game). Anyway, the article needs to be watched before it gets too much smaller.

Unfortunately, it had already been deleted before I saw this message, I do not understand the problem with this page.

I was categorizing the death of Anna Belle Clement O'Brien, using Category:Accidental deaths from falls. Orlady, an editor who seems to be watching this article, undid this categorization and entered this for the reason: "[removed] category; she died AFTER a fall, but no source has said the fall caused the death". Well, this reasoning would create chaos with many other articles that have a Category:[Cause of death] when the death is caused from its complications thereof (Damn, I sound like a lawyer, which I'm not). I don't want to get into an edit war with this editor. What do you think?

If such a policy has been formally established, please direct me to the page where I can read about it. Your history of “contributions” establishes that you have been very, very busy making such deletions from the Deaths pages. If you are doing so in accordance with Wikipedia policy, then you and I have no argument. Aardvarkzz (talk) 18:45, 25 September 2009 (UTC)
Wikipedians need not be such elitists that we deny a single line to noteworthy deceased with news obituaries by major newspapers and websites. Having looked at some of your deletions in August for people who died before the 25th, I agree that some (you offer the example “Bill Smith, 95, American businessman”) ought to be deleted. There are decedents with Wikipedia pages (for example, Chanel, 21, American dachshund, world's oldest dog, died 29 August) that should be tagged for deletion. However, the remaining redlink names in August are people who obviously qualify for personal pages, even if those pages have not been created a month after they died. After considering each redlink name still displayed on 25 August, my offhand feeling was to recommend only Simon Thirgood (30 August) and Amos Hawley (31 August) for deletion, but I checked other sources and found a page for Hawley at Encyclopedia Britannica and an obituary for Thirgood in the London Independent, so I added those links to their respective names (as you have noticed) to make a case for their retention. If someone has an obituary in any of the four London papers that originate their own news obituaries (Times, Independent, Guardian, Daily Telegraph) or the three major U.S. papers (LA Times, NY Times, Washington Post) of similar authority, the name should not be deleted, unless it is someone of strictly local interest. Also, a bio page at NNDB.com or Encyclopedia Britannica also should qualify the decedent for a permanent line in Wikipedia’s chronological Deaths. I do not insist that a bio page at IMDb necessarily qualifies a person for inclusion, but the number and quality of credits there should be taken into account. For example, actress-spokesmodel Joanne Jordan died 29 July 2009, but her death was not reported until 24 September, the day I looked for, and did not find, a Wikipedia page for her, so I entered a line for her, adding the notation “see LA Times 9/24/09 obits.” Within a day, you deleted that line with the terse comment “notability not established.” Please read her LA Times obit and look at her page on IMDb; it is unlikely you will argue that she is not notable. Let us avoid argument and encourage discussion. We should err on the side of inclusion, not exclusion. Continue your scrutiny of the Recent Deaths, but for each redlink name you evaluate as not worthy of retention, please consider the following alternatives for that person’s line (1) Put the name between “< !--“ and “-- >” so it’s still there but doesn’t display. (2) Move the line to a page with a title such as Deaths in September 2009 deleted for lack of notability. You, I and the others with interest in the necrology can be an ad hoc committee that decides whether a name remains excluded or should be restored. If a committee member makes a reasonable case for notability (as I have for Jordan, Thirgood and Hawley), that Wikipedian’s viewpoint should be respected.Aardvarkzz (talk) 21:35, 27 September 2009 (UTC)
Today I reverted the vandalism of User:83.244.129.2 to the August Deaths page. You can read about it at that person’s discussion page. Possibly we have reached agreement that the systematic deletion of redlink names has ended, permanently. I do not need to seek a consensus with you and those who allegedly condone your destructive edits. Your redlink deletions appear to go back to 28 August 2006, It is my suggestion, not a demand, that you go back to each month for the past three years, and make an intelligent decision about whether to revert each of your previous deletions. If you decline to begin reverting a high percentage of your deletions very soon, I will take up the matter with Wikipedia administration as to who should do it.

I'm writing a paper on revision practices in Wikipedia, and I'm using the murder of Annie Le article as an example. I was confused by your revision of Sep 15 7:03 (UTC). It says that you changed the article from Annie Le to the murder of Annie Le. But I thought this change came earlier at 1:17 that day by 64.252.72.160. That is when I noticed that the bold part of the first sentence changed from Annie Le to the murder of Annie Le. I assumed that the words in bold form the title of the article, since there is no heading at the top. Is this incorrect? I'd appreciate you clearing this up for me.
