Speedy deletion nomination of L&A

edit
 

A tag has been placed on L&A 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 an organization or company, 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 organizations and companies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

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 page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. ttonyb (talk) 21:02, 4 March 2010 (UTC)Reply

You have been blocked from editing, for a period of 48 hours, for disruptive editing - repeated removal of Articles for deletion template despite warnings. Doing that will not stop the deletion debate. Once the block has expired, you are welcome to make constructive contributions. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal the block by adding below this notice the text {{unblock|Your reason here}}, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first.

Conflict of Interest guideline

edit

  Welcome to Wikipedia. If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:

  1. editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
  2. participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
  3. linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. JohnCD (talk) 17:19, 28 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

AfD Nomination: Chris Crawford (Management Consultant)

edit

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome and appreciate your contributions, but all Wikipedia articles must meet our criteria for inclusion (see What Wikipedia is not and Deletion policy). Since it does not seem that Chris Crawford (Management Consultant) meets these criteria, an editor has started a discussion about whether this article should be kept or deleted.

Your opinion on whether this article meets the inclusion criteria is welcome. Please contribute to the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Chris Crawford (Management Consultant). Don't forget to add four tildes (~~~~) at the end of each of your comments to sign them.

Discussions such as these usually last seven days. In the meantime, you are free to edit the content of the article. Please do not remove the "articles for deletion" template (the box at the top). When the discussion has concluded, a neutral third party will consider all comments and decide whether or not to delete the article. JohnCD (talk) 19:16, 28 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

Advice: AfD process and Notability

edit

Above is the formal notification of the deletion debate at WP:Articles for deletion/Chris Crawford (Management Consultant) - you should have been given this earlier, and I apologise that you were not. The debate will run, normally, for seven days, so you will have time to contribute after your block expires. Briefly, any user may express a view, and at the end an uninvolved administrator will decide whether there is a consensus to delete the article. This is not a vote count - the basis for decision is the strength of arguments expressed in terms of Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. See WP:AFD#AfD Wikietiquette and WP:AFD#How to discuss an AfD.

The closing administrator will give less weight to the views of users with few or not other contributions, so there is no point in trying to recruit supporters. Removing the AfD template from the article will not stop the debate taking place, and nor will blanking or vandalising the debate page.

The issue in this case is Notability, a requirement to have a Wikipedia article, which is not a matter of opinion but needs to be demonstrated by showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." We do not try to judge ourselves whether someone or something is important or significant: we ask, have other people, independent of the subject, thought it significant enough to write about? More detail at WP:Notability (people), good general advice about writing articles at WP:Your first article, general information in the WP:Introduction and the WP:Five pillars, and (if you are connected with the firm and people you are writing about) important advice at Wikipedia:Best practices for editors with conflicts of interest.

Block reduced

edit

It has been suggested to me that as you did not get the formal notice of the AfD a 48 hour block was unduly harsh, so I have reduced it to 24 hours. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 20:25, 28 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of Brent M. Longnecker

edit
 

The article Brent M. Longnecker has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Far from meeting WP:BIO

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages 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 page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
