"Where Did You Sleep Last Night?"

Hey there, Cryptico. Thanks for your edit over at Mark Lanegan, but "Where Did you Sleep Last Night" is not a traditional folk song as some people believe; it was written by Huddie Ledbetter, aka Leadbelly, probably in the 1930s. Fernando Rizo 9 July 2005 16:26 (UTC)

Oops, I stand corrected:) Cryptico 9 July 2005

Notability of Blandine Bury

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Blandine Bury, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Blandine Bury seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Blandine Bury, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself. --Android Mouse Bot 2 03:47, 17 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Unreferenced BLPs

Hello Cryptico! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 2 of the articles that you created are Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. Please note that all biographies of living persons must be sourced. If you were to add reliable, secondary sources to these articles, it would greatly help us with the current 710 article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the list:

Teresa Lourenco - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL
Tawny Little - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL

Thanks!--DASHBot (talk) 19:31, 2 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Crystal Klein

The article Crystal Klein has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Fails WP:PORNBIO, WP:ENT, and the GNG. No nontrivial GNews or GBooks hits. Non-US editions of Playboy are generally not under the notable magazine's editorial control, but merely license the brand/trademarks for independent publishing use; by consensus, their playmates do not have a status making a significant contribution to notability.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
