Speedy deletion nomination of Ed Martin (Missouri politician)

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

A tag has been placed on Ed Martin (Missouri politician) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject of the article is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} at the top of the article, immediately below the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate), and providing your reasons for contesting on the article's talk page, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. You may freely add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

You may want to read the guidelines for specific types of articles: biographies, websites, bands, or companies. Peridon (talk) 17:33, 5 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

August 2010

Please do not replace Wikipedia pages with blank content, as you did to the page Talk:Ed Martin (Missouri politician). Blank pages can confuse readers, and are overall not helpful to the Wikipedia project; furthermore, blanking a page is not the same as deleting it.

If the article you blanked is a duplicate of another article, please redirect it to an appropriate existing page. If the page has been vandalized, please revert it to the last legitimate revision. If you feel that the content of a page is inappropriate, please replace it with appropriate content. If you believe there is no hope for the page, please use the appropriate deletion process. — $Jeff G. ツ$ 17:57, 5 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I accidentlly put a hang on on the talk page and was asked to delete it. that is why I blanked it out. there was no other information on that talk page. I don't see how I can both delete it and restore it? - Raszoo

Nomination of Mike Berryhill for deletion

A discussion has begun about whether the article Mike Berryhill, which you created or to which you contributed, should be deleted. While contributions are welcome, an article may be deleted if it is inconsistent with Wikipedia policies and guidelines for inclusion, explained in the deletion policy.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mike Berryhill until a consensus is reached, and you are welcome to contribute to the discussion.

You may edit the article during the discussion, including to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. tedder (talk) 23:10, 20 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Mike Berryhill is a Republican nominee for Congress in a very competitive race. Clearly this article is relevant. If it is deleated, I will provide a list of 173 democratic politicians pages that need removed because they're holding no elected office and have virtually no chance of being elected. I have created pages for both Republican & Democrat nominees for congress in competitive races, and all should be considered relevant. I have never had a problem with any deletions of Democrat candidates; however it is frequent with Republicans. Wikipedia needs to work harder at detecting those partisan editors who attempt to create an unfair advantage for one party over another. My suggestion would be that in every election year, all 435 congressional nominees for U.S. House, once they've won the primary, be considered relevant. This would then end any ability of editors to use wikipedia for partisan advantage.

I didn't get the information from Tennis magazine. I got it from the series' own page and it's simply a summary of the points scored and which events the athletes won. It is not something that features opinions or original ideas of an author and I changed the order and made edits. I don't have the time or knowledge of this subject to write this out in my own different way because I would say the very same things. This article hasn't had results reported in 10 years and if no tennis fan or representative of the series is going to update it, the article isn't very relevant or useful. I tried to add more recent information from their own personal site.Raszoo (talk) 00:42, 7 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Tal Farlow

I saw your edit. Discogs.com says Verve released Tal in 1956 and Prestige released The Return of Tal Farlow in 1970. How do you explain these discrepancies? Are your referring to 78s? Were they American releases?
Vmavanti (talk) 00:06, 24 August 2020 (UTC) Discogs could be incorrect. It's a site like Wikipedia where users edit them. On wikipedia, you can even see the cover of "Return" says 1969 on the front cover (also on the back of the actual release) and Wikipedia page for the LP even currently lists release as 1969.Raszoo (talk) 21:03, 24 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

But here's the problem. Albums are sometimes released at different times around the world. Or re-released.
Vmavanti (talk) 00:16, 25 August 2020 (UTC) But all evidence from the jacket is this was released in 1969 and every discography I've checked, including those in Jazz collector books list it as 1969, so Discogs is not a good enough source to override that. I've found many release date mistakes on that site. If an advertisement from a music magazine from that time period listed a release date that showed it wasn't out until 1970, then that would be a reason to list it differently. The sessions are often recorded a year or more prior, but the point of the "1969" in the title is to stress he was finally making a current new record, so if they weren't releasing it until 1970, they would have likely changed the date in the title.Raszoo (talk) 02:14, 25 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going to ask this question for the third time. Is it an American release? Is it an import? Was it purchased inside the U.S. or outside the U.S.? What other discographies have you checked? Are you sure they are using the release date instead of the recording date?
Vmavanti (talk) 02:17, 25 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It's the first release which is American, it's 1969, that's the correct date, as Wikipedia has on it's page for the release. 1969 is correct for the very first release of this material. 1970 would not be a correct date unless someone finds information better than another user edited site. That's all I have left to say on the issue.17:08, 25 August 2020 (UTC)

You may be right. It's a difficult subject. I'll run it by another jazz editor who is on Wikipedia intermittently. Thanks.
Vmavanti (talk) 19:18, 25 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
