User talk:DeirgeDel

DeirgeDel is an alternate account of Djm-leighpark and is in a process that is planned to see Djm-leighpark renamed and quiesced, DeirgeDel taking over everything Djm-leighpark used to do. This is primarily by some difficult touch points occurring on Commons and Wikidata which in event or a dispute etc. would not be helpful. I'm also needing to present a consistent name on meta, mediawiki, phabricator, Flickr, and github for some upcoming stuff. I have determined February 2023 is the best time to make that change. Thankyou for your understanding and I apologise consequences that might be felt here. Thankyou.

Novel, "The Velocity of Blood" (Re the M J Williams page you want to delete without bothering to read the material: the second time you have tried to lazily pull this stunt on me)
(1) Please buy a copy of the book here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Velocity-Blood-M-J-Williams/dp/B0BGNN7R72/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1UNRM8HA01BHW&keywords=the+velocity+of+blood&qid=1687868293&sprefix=the+velocity+of+blood%2Caps%2C77&sr=8-1 (2) Please read it when you receive it. (3) Please email me your postal address (REDACTED@hotmail.com) AFTER you have finished the book and I will then send you a cheque to reimburse you for the price of the book, and postage, so you are not out of pocket. (4) If, AFTER HAVING BOTHERED TO READ THE BOOK, you consider it unworthy of being listed on Wikiquote, I will allow you to delete the page without any further discussion or objection by me. It's actually a book I randomly picked up off a railway station "free book exchange" shelf two weeks ago free of charge, read, and found excellent. The author may not have a Wikipedia page yet but he will become a well-known author in due course, I expect and predict, if he carries on writing further novels. I have little patience for people who run around Wikis trying to delete pages without bothering to do the reading first - essentially because they love the feeling of power to destroy the hard work of others at little cost to themselves. I don't agree with your "test" that if an author doesn't have a Wikipedia page he or she won't deserve to be on Wikiquote. That's actually absurd and idiotic. The actual test you should be applying is, (a) is it worthy literature and (b) are the quotes themselves worthy to be on Wikiquote? Either you have to trust someone else's literary judgment here or bother to do the reading yourself. I look forward to your opinion on the book!

 * I note the collapse not working for me. @: Suggest you ask at the village pump.  Thankyou. -- DeirgeDeltac 12:48, 27 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Could you translate this remark into something comprehensible. And actually bother replying to my long comment. Thanks. 12:56, 27 June 2023 (UTC) Wheatfromchaff (talk) 12:56, 27 June 2023 (UTC)
 * I felt Template:Collapse was not working, it now seems to be. So that would be confusing. I have no intention of answering your comment, other than suggesting creation of an English Wikipedia article.  To state the reasonably obvious you are welcome to contest the PROD and at that point I'll re-evaluate and likely raise a WP:VFD if I don't see demonstrated notability.  The VFD is available for the community to comment/vote on with an admin making the decision. Thankyou. -- DeirgeDeltac 13:37, 27 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Notability isn't an appropriate test, great literature and worthwhile quotes irrespective of whether the author is as yet well known is the correct test. I suggest, read the book and judge for yourself; I told you I will reimburse you the cost, so you have no excuse except lack of time. (And laziness, probably.) Wheatfromchaff (talk) 14:09, 27 June 2023 (UTC)
 * I am critically time-crunched. Please don't ping me again on my talk page to suggest I am lazy (even if I am). Please ask at the help desk. Or raise a comment at WQ:ANI. Or even put in support for a global ban for me as others have suggested. Thankyou. -- DeirgeDeltac 14:18, 27 June 2023 (UTC)
 * A global ban would stop you being a nuisance, certainly. Wheatfromchaff (talk) 14:19, 27 June 2023 (UTC)
 * The page you referred me to says "Notable: We limit ourselves to quotations which are notable. A quotation can be notable because it has achieved fame due to its enduring relevance to many people, or because it is attributed to a notable individual, or appeared in a notable work." It doesn't say an author has to have a Wikipedia page. It says quotes must be notable. Which of the quotes on the page are you complaining aren't notable enough? You seem to be an idiot.

Prod declined
Hello, but I didn't understand why you put a prod on Emmanuel Agyemang-Badu‎ as. It has a related page on English Wikipedia and fulfills notability. Can you elaborate that? Lemonaka (talk) 02:29, 14 July 2023 (UTC)


 * Thankyou for choosing cleanup the article, it is now fit for mainspace and the dePROD was then appropriate. Please see the user's talk page. Thankyou. -- DeirgeDeltac 02:53, 14 July 2023 (UTC)
