Why was the Bad Suns page deleted? I searched for them fully expecting to find a Wikipedia page and was surprised to see that they are not considered notable. They are notable enough to have a song charting on Alt Nation, which (in its own Wiki article) is recognized for introducing some major alt rock acts to the public.
You mention that I must find other news sources, other than AnimeCons, where would you suggest I look? There are no news outlets that EVER cover these events, and even though AnimeCons may cover all cons they are also one of the only sources. And I should point out that Wikipedia seems to be against conventions in general. The rules for notability are garbage as most conventions don't get any coverage by ANY media outlet except for the wiki pages they create for themselves. So, i ask again, what kind of sources do you legitimately expect us to use? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Samuraioni (talk • contribs) 15:06, 24 January 2014 (UTC)
Why would you delete the band Bad Suns page? They have released and album are signed with a record company. Dunno why it would be deleted due to them not being famous enough for you, not A7 stuff.
Hi Tokyogirl79! I noticed that you speedy-deleted Hey Arnold!: The Jungle Movie under G12 for "Unambiguous copyright infringement of http://heyarnold.wikia.com/wiki/Hey_Arnold!:_The_Jungle_Movie" I'm confused because I understood Wikia (for all its faults like garbage content and trivia and fancruft and crushcruft and speculation and other useless BS) to be free of copyright restrictions. I thought that the article would be buh-leted in fair time for its other faults. I'm not complaining about the deletion, just curious about the justification so I know whether or not to maybe use a different criteria when nominating similar articles for deletion. Was it just because the contributors had failed to credit Wikia per the [CC-BY-SA licensing]? Thanks, Cyphoidbomb (talk) 05:08, 14 January 2014 (UTC)

Hi Tokyogirl79, I just saw Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/AlifLif. In the future, if you want a check for sleeper accounts to be done, make sure you change {{SPI case status|}} to {{SPI case status|CUrequest}}. That way it will go in a different section on the page and be clear that you want a check done and are not just looking for the known socks to be blocked.

Hi Tokyogirl79 I have withdrawn the AfD based on your addition of product reviews, you may want to close that. Re: the COI, that was based on this edit where he added <ref>According to XOLO employees' edit here.</ref> so I don't totally buy the 13 y.o thing.

I appreciate your review of the article "Disney Partners Statue" where I apparently had incorrect citations. I was wondering if I could get a little help. The biggest citation mistake was citing a primary source directly from Disney which I do understand.
I did notice that the only citation for this statue on the French version of Wikipedia cites a primary source which may need to be corrected. The citation is from a book "Disney A to Z" written by Dave Smith who was the founder of the Disney Archives and worked at the Walt Disney Company until recently retiring. https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Partners_(Walt_Disney_et_Mickey)
I updated this first Disney source to a USA Today article.
I'm not sure if the two other sources are merchant sources as you previously mentioned. The self-published blog posting from a staff writer was noncommercial from MousePlanet- a commonly cited and very familiar news source to those who keep up on Disney Park information. I'd love to get your input- I'm just hoping to get this page published because this statue is very famous and seen by hundreds of millions of people. Thanks in advance! :) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ilovepixar (talk • contribs) 11:45, 23 January 2014 (UTC)
Hi Tokyogirl79, the list would include only japanese games released outside Japan that have a japanese audio track, not all japanese games in general. The page would be less large than you might think considering the practice of including the original audio basically started this generation with the PS3 because the disk space was large enough to allow the inclusion of both audio tracks, therefore between the thousands of games previously released just an incredibly tiny number of them would be included. And, as you can see, the practice is not that widespread even nowadays on modern consoles. I think the page would be perfectly manageable and incredibly useful to a lot of users who base their purchases on the inclusion of the original audio and Wikipedia would be the best place to accommodate it. You also requested the addition of more citations so should I proceed with that? KerrBlackHole (talk) 13:19, 23 January 2014 (UTC)
I don't know. If I started a category it'd be lost the ability to add important details, for example that the track is not on the disk and must be downloaded or that just a specific version of a game has dual audio and the regulard hasn't. There are far longer lists that are manually managed such as lists of games released for a specific console (PS3, Vita, etc) that are always going to be larger than "my" list. But anyway, I obviously understand that, in the future, it could become unmanageable so what if I create multiple lists for each console generation (japanese PC games are always console ports with the exception of some visual novels)? That would prevent the list to get too lengthy to manage, what do you think about it?
As for the sources for the games, every time dual audio is announced it will be reported by websites such as those that I already inserted in the citations so I guess the only thing I'd need to do is to add more sources and cite articles that talk about this practice in general?

Hi Tokyogirl79!
re: Player Attack, you said "We need more independent coverage of the website" ...if I took the website element out and left it as a standalone television series page, is it sufficient?
(I'll keep an eye out for independent coverage, but it's difficult to come by. Most websites aren't really fond of saying how great their competition is!)
Thank you - Dotarray (talk) 06:53, 24 January 2014 (UTC)
Thanks for your help! I'm not sure what sort of independent coverage you're after - pages on topics like Kotaku don't seem to have any. The Player Attack page lists awards it's been nominated for, which are by nature independent. (I totally understand that being first isn't enough, btw!) I'll keep looking for more, but like I said - it's difficult to find examples where an external source refers to an news outlet, rather than a news story. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dotarray (talk • contribs) 07:16, 24 January 2014 (UTC)
Thought you might, it didn't seem to have terribly much in the way of "information". Thanks for the clarification re: awards, too. I'll keep looking. Might find more stuff about the show and less about the website, which would still work, right? (The official tv station hasn't updated their page with show information yet, or I'd throw that in, too.) Dotarray (talk) 09:58, 24 January 2014 (UTC)
Hi there, I understand the submission refusal for Saltire Superhero. The book however is published and in the national library.

Hello Tokyogirl79. This morning you rejected the proposed List of Presidents of St. Patrick's Society of Montreal page. When I proposed this page I did it following the lead of the St. Jean Baptiste Society page, which also has an equally long list of presidents in its history which is a separate page from the main St. Jean Baptiste Society page. I'm not sure I have done anything different than what that page presents - a list of their presidents dating to 1834. The St. Patrick's Society of Montreal is Canada's oldest "national" organization, predating the St. Jean Baptiste Society by 3 months. Any and all advice appreciated.
Hi Tokyogirl79!
I just got your message after reviewing my attempt at creating a page. Thank you for your notes and help!
This is my article: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/the_lion_the_bear_the_fox_(band)
I can definitely add additional coverage, which you mention in your comment, but I was wondering if you could please give me a bit of guidance, if it isn't too much trouble, to make it read less like a "personal blog for the band."
Do you think you could please highlight a sentence or paragraph where it starts to sound too informal/bloggy so that I can know what to avoid? I thought I was keeping everything pretty neutral and just the facts, but maybe it would help if it was shorter, more to-the-point sentences?
Thanks so much for your help!!

Hi and thanks for review! I'm bit curious did you have the chance to compare Star Arcade's page with other pages from Video game companies of Finland, as you would find out that there are other highly similar or much lesser referenced articles already submittes and approved.
Also the biggest issue for finding more references is the fact that most of them are in Finnish. I will try to improve the page the best I can though! Jlatto (talk) 07:50, 27 January 2014 (UTC)
I've tagged all the articles listed at that discussion under G5 (and one under G5/G6 just for fun). Next time, if you close an AfD discussion as speedy delete, could you actually delete the article(s)? Cheers, Ansh666 08:01, 27 January 2014 (UTC)

Hi Tokyogirl79!
Thank you so much for your reply about my page about the lion the bear the fox (band) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/the_lion_the_bear_the_fox_(band))! That helps a lot, and everything makes a lot of sense! And I feel a bit better knowing you still have to watch that fine line around being too promotional... :) there's hope for me yet!
And it's funny about the peacock words like "prestigious Peak Performance Project"... I think I was so concerned about what I was saying about the band, I didn't really think about that!
Thank you so much for your offer to help me with some of the re-writing. I was thinking, if I take these two specific things you mention (the sentence about them crossing the western provinces by van, and then the section about the Bandwagon Project) and try re-writing them in a more formal tone, can I send those back to you to see if I am on the right track and see if you have any suggestions?
Thank you for taking the time to help me!

Hi Tokyogirl79!
Thank you for the help! I actually took out that whole section that used Canadian Beats as a source (partly because I thought it could be considered too "bloggy" and then also because of concern that the source wasn't reliable enough) so you mentioning that makes me feel like I was on the right track with that... :)
I have done some re-writes to make the post shorter by taking out some of the things that seem more promotional than informative and to tighten up the writing so that the sentences are shorter and more to-the-point, and I also added some more sources.
Do you mind checking and seeing if you have any more suggestions? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/the_lion_the_bear_the_fox_(band)

Hello Tokyogirl, I cant believe someone can simply do this without a good reason. Logobee existed for many years and the page created was caring very useful information about the company history, business owners, and criticism. Logobee is doing a lot of charity work, which has been noted in the referral. Besides if this material was considered as "advertisement", I see not much difference from pages like this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logoworks. If you let page like that exist but remove logobee page, you are acting extremely hypocritical. Logobee page , was a very useful source of information for Wikipedia users.

Hi TG, in response to your message on Cat Collier's page, primary sources are fine to use. They must be used with care, as the guideline says. They are not to be used "to analyze, synthesize, interpret, or evaluate" but are absolutely fine to show the existence of a book. I understand that you were keen to delineate notability of the article, but I think that removing the publishers' refs is unneeded. The note also gives a mistaken impression to a new user. I appreciate all the work you do on new articles. Span (talk) 12:35, 10 February 2014 (UTC)

Hi Tokyogirl. I am writing to you in capactiy of the producer of the film W (yes, the coi tag is still valid) hence has not been removed. The information which is presently appearing on the wiki page is very outdated. The production began in 2012, and the case of nirbhaya happened in dec 2012, after that a series of such hedious crimes took place in India changing the whole scenario of the way people reacted to it. hence in late 2013 after we applied for the censorship, we edited & reshot about 40% of the movie. Originally when we started the project the subject did revolve around sexual abuse (rape), but then due to too many such cases in India and censor issues, we had to dramatically change the movie. This did not reach the press (hence you will not find any script change related published articles).
We really did not want to publicise such a sensitive and heart wrenching issue. What women go through after an abuse is really traumatic and no one should ever take advantage of it as a subject for a film. Hence we changed. Request you to consider this.
If you notice all the articles are over a year old dating back to 2012 and early 2013. And the newer ones speak on a different subject. Which is primarly on women empowerment, the men of yesterday and the women of today. And that is W today and will release the same way. The previous edit done from the above IP did cite the present upto date references.
I am humbly requesting you to revert to the previous edit from the IP IP 60.190.181.238 i.e. you to undo your revert. As it is really outdated and not entirely true the present W. It is not about promoting the film. To us Wiki is to provide information on W. We are just a starup production company & all we are trying to do is make sure people receive the right information (hence all the changes were cited with current references). Your view of it being a promotion may be correct, but that is really not the intention because all the edits were supported by valid acceptable references.
I could have just submitted a new edit weeks ago, but that would be against policy, We patinently waited to support the edit with references. which you can see in the previous edit form the IP 60.190.181.238.
A small budget movie like W made with high dreams, sweat & toil of alot of people should be portrayed in the right manner. I am writing to you with hope instead of just Undoing your edit. I really hope that you would consider this request.

Thanks for appreciating the issue which the film addresses. Lets take it step by step. 1) Eloboarte on your singular view point, of what made it seem promotional. If you pull up any bollywood movie article, both the references (bollywood hungama & nowplaying.com) are independant sources, Hence the updated synopsis should not be an issue. Not a word was changed from them in the previous edit. they were quoted directly and references given. I am not sure if you even bothered checking them before making a single "Revert / Undo" click 2) Your singular point of it being promotional, needs to be seconded by others aswell. So, I suggest instead of finding the easy way out for yourself by just undoing, you either do an edit or add suggestions along with making contributions. You must understand your view is very singular, requires further "talk" on the article itself (wiki policy). You could tag the article, But refrain from reverts. 3) Your previous action is being undone by me. the coi still applies, If you feel its promotional, Atleast a few other contribs should speak the same there. Your singular promotional view point is also against wiki policies (needs futher talk)
Discuss this further on the article - topic Tokyogirl79 Feels his article is promotional - Please talk here. Before Reverts/Undos[edit]
I am sure a further discussion by some other neutral wikipedians will help make this article better & also influence your decision further.

Your point 1 is again your singular view.

Hi there - Would it be possible to move the article back into public for editing? I have called for international "help" with the task of editing and adding sources etc. for it, and this morning ppl write to me saying the article is nowhere to be found. Just five mins ago a guy from Brazil wrote me, asking what's going on. Personally, though I understand the reasoning, I get a bit puzzled, as I threw in a { { hangon } } just yesterday, and Wikipedia immediately chooses to delete the article... I'm not sure I see the value of { { hangon } } then? Anyway I've deleted some passages and added some references (still looking for more). Please advise - what can I do more? :-) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kmilling (talk • contribs) 12:00, 19 February 2014 (UTC)
Could I make you take another glance at the article? Don't move it back, as we are still looking for more references. Just let me know, if we are working in the right direction :-) Yes I am a fan - though not a member of any fan club. I noticed many of the online album-stores pulls the wiki-text from you onto their pages too. As for the 1994-1995 hit 'Flying' I can see a lot of links on YouTube - many of them homemade tutorials made by others as how to play the song on the Ukulele (key instrument in the original song by the band). But I guess that won't help us here either :-/ The latest notes I received was from a guy in Brazil and one in the US. None of them is related to the band (not that I know of anyway). Anyway I'll be continuing the search for viable references. As there was not much on the internet in the beginning/mid of the 1990's it's quite a task *phew* Yours Kmilling — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.104.185.118 (talk) 18:41, 20 February 2014 (UTC)

For your cleanup efforts at Birbal Jha, in the face of considerable adversity! Justice007 (talk) 10:26, 20 February 2014 (UTC) |
There's an editor at House Hunting, an article which you previous edited, who has been repeatedly removing negative reviews and adding unsourced information and promotional details on the director. I suspect that it's the director himself, as the IP address that he edits under resolves to the same location as the director. Also, the logged-in account he uses, User:Cvilleslacker, seems to be from the same city. He previously blanked the reception that you added, replacing it with a line about how the film received "universal acclaim". I removed that and added a new reception, not yet aware that he had removed the one that you added. That's when he started edit warring to remove negative reviews. He was briefly blocked over that, and he back now, trying to force in external links to his production company. Normally, it wouldn't bother me if someone did that, but I strongly suspect a conflict of interest here. I realize that there isn't yet enough disruption to protect the article, but it's getting rather frustrating trying to fight this determined editor. Maybe you could explain to him the rules on COI and edit warring? I've already tried to reason with him, and he ignored my talk page messages; instead, he decided to go on a vandalism spree on several articles that I created. Honestly, I think this guy needs to be indefinitely blocked based on his history of vandalism, COI infractions, edit warring, and incivility, but I'd settle for a stern warning if it got him to behave.

Hi. Could you try to straighten this out please? The article on the stage musical was at Gypsy: A Musical Fable. Citing WP:COMMONNAME I asked for it to be moved to Gypsy (musical). Another editor, trying to be helpful, moved it to Gypsy (the musical), which is not a proper disambiguation term. (We only use "the musical" when it's actually part of a title).

Hi, do you think this author passes the notability bar? His books seem to be getting reviews and attention, but he himself doesn't seem quite there yet.

Hello Tokyogirl79!
I have researched the The Upper Footage film quite extensively and while there are negative reviews, the vast majority are positive. To say its mixed is not accurate, that implies a 50-50 ratio, from what I have seen in around 75-80 percent positive. I can easily supply sources if you would like.
Furthermore you say that people liked the marketing yet in your article you say reaction to the marketing was mixed which is 100 percent untrue. The statements that you use to back that up are misused, and don't mean that the reception was mixed. How can you say it was a mixed response when you only use one source? I am unsure if it is a language barrier but you use misuse the word mixed quite a bit.
You also say that a lot of people were skeptical but you don’t base that on any source, just a opinion, which is not how this should work.

There are published sources referenced at the bottom of the page. Newspapers and magazine (Pennyblood Magazine and Tolucan Times Newspaper to name a few), which are verifiable. The film meets all the guidelines from Wikipedia's film guidelines. If you want to remove blog resources, that is fine, but published, verifiable sources, such as the national publication which has gone to every college in America as (the Harbrace Guide to Writing) for study in college classes, is a verifiable source as well. Thanks. Also, there are enough extremely notable names to waive the verifiable resource condition per Wikipedia guidelines as stated. It passes notability guidelines by the famous people involved, if the verifiable sources are not enough (which they should be per wikipedia guidelines themselves.) Also Wikipedia clearly states that films are a case by case basis and the rules should be weighted on various aspects of notability, not just on published, Wikipedia deemed verifiable sources. But nonetheless, there is enough published sources to verify (hard copy published sources, and not just 'blog' sources).

Hi. Can you undelete my template please? It serves a completely different purpose than Template:Infobox Wrestling event and Template:WWEPPV, I don't see how it was "broken". It needed some major improvement, but it wasn't broken.

AFD talk pages are rarely useful, but they are useful.
I've used them for "live" AFDs when there is a "meta" issue that isn't part of the AFD and isn't relevant to the outcome of the AFD, but which needs to be recorded and closely associated with the AFD for some reason.
I've also used them to copy information that would normally be put on the article's talk page such as possibly-useful references, in case the result will be "delete, without prejudice for a new version being created."
I've used them for closed AFDs when there is important information which needs to be kept with the AFD for historical reasons. One example would be if an article about the same topic but under a different name had its own AFD - it's important to put cross-links in BOTH AFDs so if it comes up a 3rd time both will be easy to find.
I've created at least 7 such pages since December 2013 and more before then. Of the 7 (1, 2, 3 (a joke edit), 4 (a post-close edit), 5, 6, and 7) you could argue that in some cases I should have put the content on the AFD itself. However, I can't think of any plausible alternative for edits like #4. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs) 20:19, 1 April 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for closing that. The pink speedy tag overshadows the small white AfD. The white AfD tag blended in in with the snow we have here.

I have closed WP:Articles for deletion/The pocket guide to divorce as speedy delete G11 - the text made clear that these articles are part of the class's "social media campaign" marketing exercise. I have also explained the facts of life at User talk:Denisegee69.
I see that Jimfbleak has deleted the author's article. I don't have a strong view about that, I am not sure whether he met WP:AUTHOR; but even if that article is resuscitated, I don't think this book should be a redirect to it. As part of their learning experience, the class need to get the message that WP is not for "social media campaigning". In fact, I have salted both versions of the title for three months, in case other members of the class have a go. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 09:29, 25 April 2014 (UTC)

Hi,
You have denied my documentary "Dragons: Real Myths and Unreal Creatures" its own page on Wikipedia. I believe this is unfair and that the information given about the movie was valid and objective.
I don't know how to file an official complaint about this, and I apologize for this direct intervention.
I honestly believe that your opposition constitutes an abuse of power.
Marc Fafard — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mf wik (talk • contribs) 20:00, 3 May 2014 (UTC)
Thanks for your message, Tokyogirl79.
I get your point and I also understand that I'm trying to make mine with different criteria. I'm also doing all this wrong, which doesn't help. I apologize for insinuating that you or other reviewers (Davidwr, anupmehra) are not acting in a fair manner. It's also the whole process and criteria that I'm interpreting wrongly. You shouldn't pay with your time and patience for my chaotic learning phase and awkward interpretation of what Wikipedia should take or not. Again, I'm sorry.
I'll be at peace with whatever decision will be made. Let me just try to contribute a little more here in the spirit of the current rules which I'm not sure this movie can meet.
Notability being the main issue, I'm trying to see what I have that could help the cause.
One peculiar point about Large Format movies (aka Imax) is that they have long carreers made of international bookings that can be quite dispersed in time. It also happens that a movie of that type will be shown on TV or be released on DVD and still get bookings in the institutional market. Adrenaline Rush, a movie I made, released in 2002 was still showing at the Smithsonian, even after the DVD was released and having been programmed on TV in a few places around the world. The same happened to Dinosaurs: Giants of Patagonia. I will be showing again in a few days at the British Film Institute long after its DVD/Blu-Ray release and a few TV presentations. Vikings: Journeys to New Worlds also had a similar carreer (it doesn't have a Wikipedia page, but it has been reviewed by the international press).
Imax documentaries most of the time don't get as much attention form the media as mainstream film does, even minor ones. For instantce, Dragons, the movie that's discussed here, has had nearly 75,000 entries in Paris. That's about equivalent to a (beautiful) movie titled Gabrielle that has had much more press coverage. Attention by the critics most probably helped and that's great and deserved. On the other hand, Imax movie tend to be overlooked because they are distributed mostly in an niche (institutional) market. The commercial market has been mostly taken over by blockbusters. The logic is indisputable. Please, don't cry.
L'Écran Fantastique is mainly a print magazine that doesn't keep articles online. I do have a link to a pdf copy on La Géode's website. I'm putting links here. This is awkward. Sorry. http://www.lageode.fr/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/efx.pdf I've asked for a link withe the publication name in the url.
Le Figaro has also covered the movie through an interview with Max von Sydow. http://evene.lefigaro.fr/cinema/actualite/max-von-sydow-les-films-francais-representent-l-art-du-cinem-2353652.php Max gets a lot of attention and it is great for the movie. This also means that journalists focus a lot on him, his long and wonderful carreer, and don't cover the movie as much. This said, his fans are delighted to read all about him. I can guess that this this fire will be burn even brighter with his recent cast in next Star Wars. You had the same dynamic goin on with CultureBox: http://culturebox.francetvinfo.fr/cinema/stars/max-von-sydow-parle-de-dragons-3d-et-de-lexorciste-interview-exclusive-143901

It would qualify as "in depth", I believe, movie reviewing being generally a short form.

C pour les enfants, Paris http://www.cpourlesenfants.com/cinema-documentaire/dragons-3d-–-mythes-ou-realite.html Short positive review
The Davis Clipper (Salt Lake City, Utah) http://www.davisclipper.com/view/full_story/23419065/article-Movie-Beat---Dragons--not-sure-what-it-wants-to-be Not positive, but an opinion that I respect and expected. Docufiction was almot mandatory (that another point in itself) and the Dragons wasn't t the hard science movie the reviewer expected at a planetarium. It could be the same in Hunan, China, where the movie is projected in a science center, in a special version created by Evans & Sutherland for a planetarium dome. I haven't seen reviewing from there yet. I'm putting a link to show you it's there but I dread trying to find reviewing because the search has to be done with chinese characters. http://www.hnstm.org.cn/newsview.asp?bid=7&sid=17&id=362
Metro News Paris http://www.metronews.fr/culture/video-on-a-vu-des-dragons-a-la-geode/mmjp!MXNt0MsWgMu2/ It freguently happens that no reviewing space is given to a movie albeit a specific media will want to attest of its presence somewhere. To me this add to the awareness of the movie, but I understand that this doesn't equate to notability. This type of small mention is nonetheless somewhat of a nod. They will not necessarily mention everything that's happening, although they will not send someone to cover the movie. Their demographics, the interest of their reviewers (Imax documentaries are considered in a class by themselves and they do not please everyone, even as a genre) will determine what attention is given to the production. This is also the case with this mention in Le Parisien: http://www.leparisien.fr/espace-premium/culture-loisirs/dragons-a-la-geode-19-10-2013-3239805.php Or, in Dernière Nouvelles d'Alsace. http://www.dna.fr/culture/2013/10/28/les-expos-a-voir-a-paris
Tycho Brahe Planetarium in Copenhagen -- Mostly short mentions but the movie has been programmed there for several months now. Kino (Denmark) http://www.kino.dk/film/d/dr/drager-virkelige-myter-og-uvirkelige-skabninger Minimal mention.
Bionyheder (Denmark) http://bionyheder.dk/film-trailer/13528/drager-virkelige-myter-og-uvirkelige-skabninger Minimal mention.
Politiken (Denmark) http://politiken.dk/ibyen/vis/17433/drager-virkelige-myter-og-uvirkelige-skabninger It only says that the movie "could have done without the story". Not "in depth", obviously.

Festivals that welcome Imax films are not many. Usually, because of the film format, festivals are held by Imax venues. La Géode in Paris used to have one. Sudbury in Canada has one. Mexico has one

There was at least one or two festivals in China, (Beijing and Hangzu -- maybe one was a film market). I can't find exact references but I can if that's missing. Our distributor would know. This could be added later is the submission is accepted before. Sorry for this lack of precission. I'm trying to give you as many references as possible at once.
Dinosaurs: Giants of Patagonia (which has a page here, not a point in itself, I understand), was covered by only one newspaper in Paris, L'Humanité. The movie has had 440,000 spectators in a few years presence on one screen in Paris. This in a significant success in France, though. So, I don't know how Dragons can really satisfy the notability criterion as it is enforced by Wikipedia.
This is pretty much all I have for now.
Again, my apologies for this maybe unorthodox way of communicating info in this process, and once more, for my unjustified harsh and imperative tone.
I don't know if this will be seen by your colleagues who may have to sound in the decision to publish this page or not. I will send copies if you feel it is relevant.

Hi Dadidwr,
Thanks for giving some more time to read my last arguments.
Some links here are valid reviews.
As noted briefly, Imax movies do not have many festivals, especially because of their characteristics, film format, duration and other characteristics. They often don't have prizes either. I am at a loss for words. I tried.
This film features Max von Sydow, an iconic actor, twice nominated of an Academy Award and widely recognized as one of the most notable actor of the XXth century.
I'm at a loss for words, Davidwr, but I said that I would accept your decision, which I believe is shared by Tokyogirl79 and anupmehra. I think the other members of this production will want to move on as well.
This non-notable film will play later this year in Montreal, Seoul and Japan, after having being shown elsewhare in Canada, US, Mexico, France, UK, China and Denmark.
We'll analyze the following as an example of something that makes it through the approval process : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hidden_Universe_3D — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mf wik (talk • contribs) 16:57, 5 May 2014 (UTC)

It would be a great pleasure actually Tokyogirl79. I truly like to work on articles of artists with ethnic origins in Wikipedia. Although the references are much harder to find, and sometimes they are in foreign languages not accessible to most of our editors, yet these artists are truly international artists in the diasporas stretching from North America to Europe to Africa to Asia and Australia. They are active in and do get some coverage in various media away from their countries when they engage in international tours. Of course the hardest part is proving chart positions as most countries do not have official singles and albums charts...
By the way since we are at it, for a very long time, I've been truly interested in working on articles of artists already deleted or in the very risk of getting deleted. Is there a convenient area in which I would know about deleted articles of such artists that could be revived with some efforts. I am willing to exert enough effort to reestablish artist articles deleted because of lack of references and finding notable articles about them. werldwayd (talk) 08:49, 6 May 2014 (UTC)

Indeed, you are correct. :) I overheard someone ask the foundation itself to create their own Wikipedia article. I told this individual NO - the foundation could not create this page as it was COI, but that the individual requesting it can! So I created the article as a stub/example for some them to work on. Being an experienced wikipedia editor with little experience on the subject, I shouldn't have done that. I have instructed those individuals (and thereby the members a guide dog users mailing list/community) to read up on Wikipedia:Credible_claim_of_significance and a the getting started pages and assemble something proper. Still, Thanks for your efforts. - Trysha (talk) 15:58, 8 May 2014 (UTC)

Hello, why would you delete our page? There was a delete article posted on it by someone who was harassing my client, posting hateful things such as that deletion page and I'm pretty sure the person was massing peoples pages telling them to mark it for deletion. I was on my way to put in more sources and articles. We spent over 6 hours creating that page and would appreciate it if you would reinstate it and give us another try. Please and thank you. Those newer sources and references will be up ASAP! The page was receiving several hundreds of views while it was up. Kind of disappointing to add. --BrandonCyrus (talk) 09:13, 10 May 2014 (UTC)
Hi Tokyogirl79, I understand where you're coming from, however, that dude person on my talk page was posting all types of harassment, calling me a liar and names, stating I did this and what not. When I explained to him why the page for deletion should be deleted, he agreed but another user made him change his mind. The page was deleted over too little of sources, however, I explained multiple times that I was re-updating the page, it DOES take time, a lot of time. Especially all that time that was wasted, of 6 hours, because you decided to delete a page over harassment and didn't even give me time to update it, which I was going to do so this morning! Cyrus doesn't only have "little roles", he had several roles on Hannah Montana, he was a recurring guest for over 10 episodes, he also starred as a popular character on Zoey 101, he has credits for Ted 2, Magic Mike 2, and he played in major movies such as Divergent, High School Musical 2, and several MTV shows that I had not listed yet, all of these can be found on his IMDb page. If these credits, or shows, aren't notable, or fit, then we really don't know what is because playing a main character in The Hunger Games (a civilian) is a huge huge step for someones acting to be called 'small' or 'minor'. Under Wikipedia's guidelines, Cyrus does fit as he is a "famous persons" and the page should remain while it is edited. Please help and understand.
As for the COI, we work directly under Cyrus' management. In nowhere, we never said we were paid for the Wikipedia page, we were indeed thanked and had several gratitude. Most edits were revised by Cyrus and agreed upon before processing. We have no bias reviews or anything, we just know the person from inside and outside as we are his team. Please give us another chance. And by the way, our username was changed to avoid confusion, however, Wikipedia hasn't updated t yet. --BrandonCyrus (talk) 09:50, 10 May 2014 (UTC)
Also wanted to note, another user discussed with "BigWhite" why the page should remain, he agreed with the author, touched it again, and just said it needed to be updated and recited. He did, however, mark it for deletion once, but the user talked it over and I assume he agreed that it should remain under a fix. --BrandonCyrus (talk) 09:52, 10 May 2014 (UTC)
The article will be fixed and updated. I promise. It just takes time and research, the page was a "stub" for a reason. Because it starts off as really small and develops itself. --BrandonCyrus (talk) 10:00, 10 May 2014 (UTC)
Those are major actors you are listing. To even be in the acting roles, to be on set, to get into the roles I mention is incredible. It isn't easy. You start from the bottom and you make your way up. There is WAY SMALLER (not yelling) pages than his was! You are throwing away over 6 hours of editing because of another administrator's thoughts? That administrator didn't even put the deletion article up! This is unbelievable, totally bias, and unacceptable. You aren't even giving me a chance to fix the page, deleting it after one day does nothing. People should have time to fix their articles and many pages are reinstated. Please tell me how exactly I can file this for undulation, since you are a admin and you are supposed to be helping users... cough cough... Thanks. --BrandonCyrus (talk) 10:09, 10 May 2014 (UTC)
Thank you so much bonadea! It worked! I may be a little slow on this Wikipedia thing... :) At least someone knows how to help other users! Thanks again for the tip. --Reigningbc (talk) 10:18, 10 May 2014 (UTC)
Sorry for that. IT must have done that while we were both updating the talk page and pressing the save button at the same time. I get where you're coming from. I'll follow your instructions, however, I wish to continue with another admin on the page you provided. As you listed before, you did this involving BGWhite views, which is unfair, if he had a problem with the page he would've deleted it himself. If you noticed, he was the one who gave me 7 days, unlike you who gave me 12 hours. --Reigningbc (talk) 10:30, 10 May 2014 (UTC)

Hey Tokyogirl79, so here I am writing you for help, and as I start, I realize I'm wearing my 'I edit Wikipedia' t-shirt that you nominated me for almost a year ago. So crazy! I was actually browsing the WikiProject Gender studies and noticed you had recently written on the talk page. I've created an article about the Chinese term sheng nu and I'd love to get it to featured status. Now I know you're thinking, Mkdw probably wants me to do all the hard work. That's only partly true. It's currently at GA nomination and I think it's probably going to pass. The leap shouldn't be too difficult to FA since I cited the bananas out of it from some really great sources, but I worry that the turn of phrase and prose might be lacking. Would love to get you to go over it at least once and get your thoughts especially since it's something that might interest you. As always, my fondest regards, Mkdwtalk 19:00, 13 May 2014 (UTC)
