Speedy deletion of Know Your Heroes! edit

 

A tag has been placed on Know Your Heroes! requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for web content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the article or have a copy emailed to you.

Non-free use disputed for File:Hi8short.jpg edit

Thanks for uploading File:Hi8short.jpg. Unfortunately, I think that you have not provided a proper rationale for using this image under "fair use". Please read the instructions at Wikipedia:Non-free content carefully, then go to the image description page and clarify why you think the image qualifies for fair use. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Non-free use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page. Note that the image description page must include the exact name or a link to each article the image is used in and a separate rationale for each one. (If a link is used, automated processes may improperly add the related tag to the image. Please change the fair use template to refer to the exact name, if you see this warning.)

If it is determined that the image does not qualify under fair use, it will be deleted after seven days according to our Criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem. Thank you. Melesse (talk) 16:14, 19 May 2011 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of Themes for Films edit

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.

Sourcing for articles and puffery edit

Hey, I thought I'd drop a note about some of our practices here. The first problem with a lot of the articles was a lack of coverage in reliable sources. The problem is that many of the sources were primary ones. For example, Filmmaker Magazine frequently has Sell writing for them. This means that any coverage he gets from them will be considered to be primary since they have a vested interest in writing about him and his work. The same thing goes for anything that is released by Sell or anyone representing him. The other problem would be things such as blog sources, which is almost never usable as a reliable source. The only rare exception is when the blog is a site that has an editorial staff that rigorously fact-checks and edits their work, something that 99.9% of blogs don't have- at least not to the level that Wikipedia would require. I think that the Village Voice is one of the rare exceptions to the blogging rule, and even then we don't take all of their blogs. Another issue is that some of the sources only mentioned Sell briefly in mention to something else, such as listing him on a picture. These are seen as WP:TRIVIAL mentions and cannot show notability. Also an issue are sources that are just notifications of events, as those just show that something will take place and aren't usable to show notability.

The other big issue was one of neutrality. I'll be honest: the articles were all filled with WP:PUFFERY, which is Wikipedia speak for content that is hyped up to make the subject (Sell) look as good as possible. By man standards it's seen as promotional in tone, although I really don't think that this was your intent. I think that you're most likely just a very eager fan or someone that knows and likes Sell, and decided to do him a solid by adding his stuff to Wikipedia. This is what brings a lot of us to Wikipedia. The problem is that while this passion is encouraged to an extent, the articles must be neutrally written and they must be based on what we can source through WP:RS. This usually means that the articles for anyone that's not Tom Hanks is reduced to a stub that goes over the very basics. It's frustrating, but this is how we avoid having any conflicts over whether or not something is true or not. Not that I think that anyone is lying, but the problem with primary/trivial/blog sources is that in many cases they're written by someone with a clear conflict of interest and we can't altogether verify if they're saying something that's true or slanted in one direction or another. Now before you assume that this is to keep people from writing overly positive things, this also applies to tabloids and other avenues (ex-lovers, ex-bosses, etc) that might have an axe to grind against the subject of the article. It swings both ways.

In any case, this is why I removed so much of the content. I do think that Sell is notable enough for his article, but I had to remove a lot of the content on here because of notability and neutrality issues. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me or someone in Wikipedia:WikiProject Film for advice. Don't worry about this if it feels like we're being overly harsh- it's sometimes a sharp learning curve on Wikipedia, but we all started off as people who weren't savvy in Wikipedia. Everything I've told you, I've had others tell me in varying degrees. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 11:57, 6 November 2013 (UTC)Reply

  • I've redirected a lot of pages associated with him and his girlfriend to their respective pages. I thought I'd explain about this a little. In many cases some things don't gain a lot of notability aside from their creators/founders. For example, a movement such as anti-slam can be known and seem notable to its niche but not really ever gain enough coverage to really merit its own article. In instances like this we tend to create a subsection in the creator's article and redirect there. It's a really good way to ensure that the material is covered while also helping to bolster the notability for the person who created it. Since Miller has never gone out of her way to gain coverage the way some other performers have, there's not a huge amount of coverage out there for her. I'm still a little concerned that it might end up getting deleted if it goes to AfD, but I'm reasonably confident that it'd ultimately pass. We might have to redirect ASS Studios to Sell, though. It looks like they're mostly known for the controversy surrounding the DVD, which can be mostly encapsulated in Sell's article. I'll try to clean it up and see what I can do, but from what I can see right off it looks like the coverage is mostly primary and/or trivial. I also want to caution you again about writing from a fan's point of view. Including things such as "Janeane Garofalo was unexpectedly kissed on the mouth by an audience member who rushed onto the stage" comes across as trivia that would more appeal to a fan and to many, wouldn't be seen as openly controversial enough to really warrant a mention. Just remember: just because it's mentioned somewhere doesn't mean that it belongs in an encyclopedic article. We need to boil things down to the basic essentials. If something is mentioned by multiple independent RS, then it could probably warrant a mention. Tokyogirl79 (。◕‿◕。) 09:30, 8 November 2013 (UTC)Reply
