Why is Ecuador being vandalized like this? Does anyone know? 68.17.237.177 (talk) 23:01, 30 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

No idea. The protection template needs to last longer. Digirami (talk) 07:10, 10 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Jaime Valencia is a well known painter - indigenous movement. He should be added to the main page as a indigenous movement painter. He has won numerous national awards for his artwork and even sculpted the facade of the Casa de Cultura.

Thank you for your consideration.

• Please avoid editing the Ecuador article before reading the reasons for deletion of Ronnie Nader. It was already decided that Ronnie Nader is a non-notable subject according to Wikipedia standards. If you still wish to include a reference to it on the Ecuador article, do please show how it is relevant enough to deserve a reference, you could start by addressing the criticisim at Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Ronnie_Nader. Thanks. --Hilbert137 (talk) 05:27, 26 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
  • That does not cite any deletion in the article where he is mentioned. Perhaps his name should be deleted, however, the paragraph you intend on deleting now is not, nor is yet resolved. -Preceding unsigned comment added by Blupper92
    • What do you mean by "That does not cite any deletion in the article where he is mentioned"? It was ALREADY DECIDED that the subject Ronnie Nader is NOT notable. If you want to include a reference to it in the Ecuador article, please DO show how it is notable, for example by addressing the criticism at Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Ronnie_Nader. Thanks. --Hilbert137 (talk) 05:36, 26 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I think Blupper92's point is that just because it was decided that Nader was not notable enough to justify a separate article, it doesn't mean he can't be mentioned in an article. I am not siding one way or the other on the entry in this article, but I do agree that the deletion discussion cited above is distinct from the issue of the relevance of the disputed material here. For instance, somebody famous has an article, which includes details of his early life, including his parents. His parents may not be notable enough to justify a separate article on each, but that doesn't mean they can't be mentioned in their son's article. Perhaps the material in dispute in this article should be eliminated (due to relevance, verifiability, sources, etc). But that needs to be a distinct analysis. --anietor (talk) 05:56, 26 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Fellow contributor User:Hilbert137 implies on deleting a paragraph that is not about Ronnie Nader, which i have neither justified, nor supported. The paragraph the section signals is Ecuadorian Civil Space Agency Ronnie Nader.

You should not place a comment thinking for me, that disvalidates the neutrality of an argument, especially when it clearly doesn't claim my argument.--Blupper92 (talk) 06:07, 26 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
