Decline Draft:Afsheen (musician)

Hi! You just declined my article, and I was having a discussion with another editor. I do not agree. Here is the category that applies to it. I tried to find sources I could. I am also adding this here. Does it look like I am "forcing my opinion"? These are rules written here on Wikipedia, and I contacted you because I saw you are objective reviewer:

Criteria for composers and lyricists

• WP:COMPOSER

For the WikiProject, see Wikipedia:Composers.

Composers, songwriters, librettists or lyricists, may be notable if they meet at least one of the following criteria:

1. Has credit for writing or co-writing either lyrics or music for a notable composition. - "there are over 20 notable composition that even have their own WIKIPEDIA articles." Mentioned in over 23 sources I added to the article.
2. Has written musical theatre of some sort (e.g., musicals, operas) that was performed in a notable theatre that had a reasonable run, as such things are judged in their particular situation, context, and time.
3. Has had a work used as the basis for a later composition by a songwriter, composer, or lyricist who meets the above criteria.
4. Has written a composition that has won (or in some cases been given a second or other place) in a major music competition not established expressly for newcomers.
5. Has been listed as a major influence or teacher of a composer, songwriter, or lyricist that meets the above criteria.
6. Appears at reasonable length in standard reference books on their genre of music.

@J2009j You have your wish. 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 18:45, 14 August 2024 (UTC)

Thank you! I posted my comment on the delete page with the note about the CDs as source and WP composer. J2009j (talk) 18:51, 14 August 2024 (UTC)

I wish you success. It is very unlikely that I will comment further at the deletion discussion. The community is bigger than all of us and consensus aways rules, whether we agree with it or not. 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 18:55, 14 August 2024 (UTC)

Sandbox

Hi there! A over a year ago you declined by Sandbox submission, and recently I have been working on it am almost finished with it. The problem is, I don’t see where the submit button is, so I don’t know where to submit it when I’m done. Xuppu (talk) 20:48, 14 August 2024 (UTC)

@Xuppu added it for you 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 21:05, 14 August 2024 (UTC)

Thanks! Xuppu (talk) 21:10, 14 August 2024 (UTC)

Draft article

Hi. You messaged me regarding the draft article Kalin Stefanov. As someone just now again rejected it based on "has been rejected before", could I ask you to review it yourself? I am sure you will notice that their rejection is not according to wikipedia rules. Thanks in advance Kalinators (talk) 10:40, 15 August 2024 (UTC)

Did you read the message when you posted this? 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 13:08, 15 August 2024 (UTC)

It is of little import. You have been blocked. 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 15:05, 15 August 2024 (UTC)

Self-promotional vanity image

Hi, Tim. I've read your message at User talk:Kalinators about speedy deletion of the image. As far as I'm concerned, I have always thought the image should be deleted, as you probably realise from what I have said before; it's just a matter of whether to delete it immediately or wait until Wednesday. I don't feel very strongly about which we do, but to me, there is slightly less of a case for deleting it immediately than there was, for two reasons: (1) Since the page where the image was used is gone, and the editor who was using it is gone, it isn't going to do any harm any time soon. (2) Now that the ex-editor has started throwing tantrums and demanding that the image be deleted, I don't particularly wish to give him the feeling that he's getting his way. Is that a rationally justifiable reason for holding on to the image? Probably not, but it influences how I feel. To look at it from a more policy-based point of view, I still don't see the copyright infringement as "unambiguous", so that deleting it now would be contrary to policy. If I felt there was a pressing need for it to be deleted sooner rather than later, I would be willing to trump that policy with the Master Policy, IAR, but I really don't see any such pressing need. My inclination therefore is to leave it until the F4 deletion comes into play. However, if you wish to nominate it for immediate deletion rather than waiting for a few days, feel free to go ahead; I will neither accept nor decline the nomination, and if another administrator takes a different view than I do I won't get upset and throw a tantrum.

@JBW Fair.

I think it would be tendentious for me to renominate in precisely the same manner, so it can wither on the vine.

Seems churlish to make such a short reply to your well considered rationale, though 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 05:58, 17 August 2024 (UTC)
