Please list the article at AfD
I saw your edit to the iran neighborhood. Although the rationale makes sense, it needs to be listed at WP:AfD (JayPlaysStuff | talk to me | What I've been up to) 15:44, 19 June 2022 (UTC)
- Hi JayPlaysStuff, from my experience on WP, I feel that Articles for Deletion is a venue solely for deletion, whereas redirecting an article is a separate process. Is there a guideline or rule which says that re-directing an article requires a successful nomination at AfD? That's a genuine question: I have just returned to WP from a long break that lasted about half a year, so I may be rusty on the rules in this situation. Thanks -- versacespaceleave a message! 16:19, 19 June 2022 (UTC)
- Oh I see. Yeah it's likely to be uncontroversial in that case, it was not suitable for articlehood. There is Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion but that's for deleting or retargeting redirects, not creating ones. (JayPlaysStuff | talk to me | What I've been up to) 17:44, 19 June 2022 (UTC)
- Well, the article of concern has been nominated for deletion, so I'm not worried about it anymore. To be honest, I was using this redirection as a way to get rid of the article, which I maybe shouldn't have done, but I'm sure you understand what my angle was. :) -- versacespaceleave a message! 17:52, 19 June 2022 (UTC)

Dimensions of cover artworks
Hi VersaceSpace. I've noticed you've uploaded recent artworks at uneven dimensions and with format(s) in the file name (Superache I just came across, and then noticed you expanded the redirect I made for I Just Called). Just to let you know, a square 300×300 and PNG file format is preferred for album and single artworks. Per Template:Infobox album, 300px is a "common choice for square album covers" (emphasis added). I don't know where you got the uneven covers from (and the .jpg.webp file name is a bit confusing), but Apple Music, Spotify and so on provide square covers (Apple Music has their covers in both WEBP and PNG—the latter if you change the extension in the URL). As these covers were digital artworks and not from the era of slightly more rectangular CDs (or only released in that format and then adapted for the digital era), even dimensioned digital artworks are preferable. Also, if you get the high-quality artworks from Apple Music, there's definitely less chance somebody would notice the cover is a bit off square and replace it. Thanks. Ss112 06:19, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
- Ss112, I was completely unaware that the cover I added had the incorrect dimensions, so thanks for letting me know about that. I'm pretty sure I got that pic from some blog, which in hindsight wasn't a great idea. If it's not yet replaced, I'll definitely go fix that. In the future I'll take album/single cover arts from Apple Music. versacespaceleave a message! 06:28, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
A barnstar for you!

For making my proposed deletion patrolling more interesting with your concise and astute observations. SailingInABathTub (talk) 23:06, 28 June 2022 (UTC) |
- @SailingInABathTub: thank you! I've always wondered why deleting articles made without effort is so much harder than creating them. The bar for notability is so low, and yet we still have articles on towns called "Water Distribution Company" and "Iran Engineerging Company" (← can you believe that's a blue link?). I can't say this hasn't been entertaining though. --VersaceSpace 🌃 23:17, 28 June 2022 (UTC)
Proposed deletions
Hello, VersaceSpace,
First, I want to thank you for your contributions to the project! Second, I was looking at upcoming PRODS and Category:Proposed deletion as of 28 June 2022 has over 100 PRODs for the day which is much more than our typical number of 10-40 PRODs/day. I see at least 37 that you tagged and I just wanted to encourage you to please not go on a mass-tagging spree over a short period of time.
Right now, there are typically two admins who patrol Proposed deletions daily and review tagged articles and files to make sure the tagging is appropriate and we both juggle other activities we do on the project. There is no reason you couldn't tag 5-12 articles/day instead of packing them all into one day. I know editors get on a roll with a big project you take on but please remember down the road, some admin will need to check your work and follow through on the taggings so if you could pace yourself with any kind of deletion taggings (CSDs, PRODs, XfDs), well, we would appreciate it. I wish there were more admins who were active in different areas of the project but as it is, we're spread a little thin these days and we all have our specific areas we tend to focus on. Thanks again for all of your work. It's appreciated! Liz Read! Talk! 19:15, 29 June 2022 (UTC)
- @Liz: thank you. I'll limit the PRODs and instead probably take the matter to the AN where it can be handled (hopefully) more efficiently. --VersaceSpace 🌃 19:24, 29 June 2022 (UTC)

Thank you, VersaceSpace, for nominating Michael C. Stenger for RD, but this has already been nominated. So, I removed your duplicated nomination. Just an FYI. Happy editing. Cheers! --PFHLai (talk) 18:50, 30 June 2022 (UTC)
