Speedy deletion nomination of All Things Comedy[edit]

A tag has been placed on All Things Comedy, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.
It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or 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. (See section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Managing a conflict of interest[edit]

Hello, Eburdekin. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article All Things Comedy, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:

Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content 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. VQuakr (talk) 06:12, 3 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Hi VQuakr,

I will make sure to comply with these rules as I continue contributing to Wikipedia! I'm new to contributing and have tried to familiarize myself with as many policies and guidelines as possible but I am still learning and apologize for anything I may have slipped up with thus far.

Thanks, Eburdekin (talk) 06:16, 3 October 2014 (UTC)Eburdekin[reply]

@VQuakr: - what is your evidence of any conflict of interest? Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 10:46, 3 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Please stop[edit]

Please do not add any more articles to WP like the above. There's no point in writing an article unless you have references providing substantial coverage from third-party independent reliable sources, not press releases or mere announcements. Unless there is more information than you have been providing, they will surely be deleted. If you can show the notability of any of them, then work on them, one article at a time, but there's no point in writing articles that are so short and so poorly cited that nobody can see any possible importance.

Doug Stanhope's Podcast[edit]

Hey, do you think this might be better if we merged it on Doug Stanhope's article? The article right now is about more about him than about his podcast. If you're still working on it, that's fine, but if there's not much else on the podcast, I think a merge and redirect might in order. I, JethroBT ^{drop me a line} 21:14, 3 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I'm going to be bold and merge the material over based on your previous articles, as it looks like this won't meet notability. I, JethroBT ^{drop me a line} 21:16, 3 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
