Welcome!

Hello, Susan Johnson Ancora, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Richard A. Barone, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for page creation, and may soon be deleted.

You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles. See the Article Wizard. Thank you.

Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on this page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Richard A. Barone has been reverted.
Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline from Wikipedia. The external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. I removed the following link(s): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMXygOBiRgA. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a media file (e.g. a sound or video file) on an external server, then note that linking to such files may be subject to Wikipedia's copyright policy and therefore probably should not be linked to. Please consider using our upload facility to upload a suitable media file.
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 19:40, 23 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

Latest comment: 13 years ago3 comments2 people in discussion

I have nominated Richard A. Barone, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Richard A. Barone. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. JamesBWatson (talk) 09:31, 27 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

Comments on the deleted article

Hi there. A simple review of the links provided will explain why the Articles for deletion discussion was concluded with a delete result:

[1] -- Barone is not mentioned here.

[2] -- Barone is quoted as a representative of Maxus (itself not notable); nothing is discussed about Barone as to why he might be notable according to Wikipedia's criteria.

[3] & [4] -- Company website's pages that don't mention Barone. (Even if Barone were notable, these specific links wouldn't be relevant.)

[5] -- Again, this quotes Barone, but doesn't discuss him or his notability.

[6] -- Same as above.

[7] -- Again, this is about the company, not Barone himself. He is not discussed in a way that confers notability.

[8] -- This is a press release, which is specifically designed to work promotionally, and is therefore not considered a reliable source for Wikipedia.

[9] -- Again, this quotes Barone (once) but doesn't infer notability.

[10] -- Barone is discussed here, but not in a way that confers notability.

[11] -- Same as above.

[12] -- Same as above.

[13] -- A university's main web page doesn't have relevance to the subject.

[14] -- A hospice's main web page doesn't have relevance to the subject.

[15] -- This link doesn't even mention Barone.

[16] -- Same as above.

The users who recommended that the article be deleted likely came to the same conclusions as above. I highly recommend that you read carefully the notability guidelines for including individuals into Wikipedia. If Mr. Barone meets these qualifications (subject to community consensus) we still need verifiable, reliable sources that are independent of the subject and that actually discuss the subject in a notable way.

Another concern that I have: your username gives the impression that you are connected with the subject. Please read the notification below carefully as well. - CobaltBlueTony™ _talk 14:08, 3 August 2010 (UTC)Reply
