Protection of this page[edit]
Did you mean to fully protect this page? Jackmcbarn (talk) 21:37, 1 December 2014 (UTC)
- I assume that you meant to apply only move-protection here, since that's what you usually apply after archiving. As such, I've removed the edit-protection. Jackmcbarn (talk) 22:50, 2 December 2014 (UTC)
- Oops! Thank you! NawlinWiki (talk) 01:39, 3 December 2014 (UTC)
Deletion of Ceres Power page[edit]
On 14th November you deleted the page on Ceres Power. This makes no sense to me, and I ask that you please restore the page. I am currently an employee of this company, and I can assure you it is alive and well. We are a key player in the fuel cell industry, have a world-class product, have recently received an additional funding from investors, and therefore the company deserves to have a Wikipedia page.

- For the company to have an article, there need to be reliable independent sources cited to show notability per WP:CORP. The deleted article cited only the company's own website and press releases. NawlinWiki (talk) 15:47, 3 December 2014 (UTC)
- I agree that the page in its current state needed some work and was lacking sources, however I only noticed it had been deleted because I was preparing to update it. Without too much difficulty using a Google search, I found the following 12 articles from reliable independent sources -

- Surely this is more than enough justification for the page to be restored. Can I also suggest that it would have been more appropriate for you to have proposed on the talk page that the article should be deleted, so that other editors had a chance to respond. Logicman1966 (talk) 16:38, 3 December 2014 (UTC)
- Out of those 12 sources, the only ones that do not look like press releases or the company's own directory pages are numbers 4 and 8. The deleted article had essentially the same issue -- it was a mirror of company press releases: "Ceres partnered with X company; Ceres introduced Y product." Sources 4 and 8 do, however, appear to be at least somewhat independent reports. I have moved the deleted article's last revision to your userspace at User:Logicman1966/Ceres Power, for you to work on there. Because you are a company employee, though, I must caution you very strongly against submitting another article that is promotional in nature. Please read WP:NPOV and Wikipedia:Conflict of interest.

Deletion of Dawn Ali[edit]
I was informed that the Dawn Ali page that I created was deleted. I asked for feedback and yes, I saw your list. I wasn't given any feedback or a chance to even change anything before deletion. So what's up with that? Uh-man-ee (talk) 21:06, 3 December 2014 (UTC)
- The article is purely advertising/promotion for Ms. Ali, whom it claims is a "world renowned weight loss expert" and links to ads for her three self-published diet books. Any article on Ms. Ali would (1) have to be written in neutral, nonpromotional language, see WP:SPAM and WP:NPOV, and more importantly (2) would have to cite independent sources (not Ms. Ali's website or press releases), see WP:V, to show that she meets our notability standards, WP:BIO.

Deletion of Evolent Health page[edit]
Hello there. I'd like to understand why you deleted the Evolent Health page. It is a notable subject as the company has been written about in many verifiable third-party sources, of which have been cited/referenced in this article. Can you please clarify the parts of concern and what needs to be rewritten for the page to be reinstated? Thank you. Bda3853 (talk) 21:28, 3 December 2014 (UTC)
- The article was pretty much promotional through and through, written in laudatory language and quoting the principals' glowing statements about the company and its prospects. See WP:SPAM and WP:NPOV. NawlinWiki (talk) 21:30, 3 December 2014 (UTC)
Can you please provide examples of this? What specific parts need to be rewritten for the page to reinstated? Thank you. Bda3853 (talk) 16:45, 4 December 2014 (UTC)
- As I said, it was pretty much the entire article. It started with "the company is transforming the way", and every sentence seemed to be a promotional quote from a company principal. I'm not going to re-quote every line to you. If you can't understand how WP:NPOV applies to this article, you shouldn't be the one writing it. NawlinWiki (talk) 11:51, 6 December 2014 (UTC)
Users[edit]
Hey NawlinWiki! Yesterday, I came upon Logical2014 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · edit filter log · block user · block log) user page, I tagged it as a G11, it got deleted and now another user Fair2014 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · edit filter log · block user · block log) re-added the content both on the Logical userpage and his/her own. May would mind dealing with this, they are both promoting/spamming as well as engaging in fraudulent activity, see bottom of userpage. Best, ///EuroCarGT 06:01, 6 December 2014 (UTC)
- Got those, as well as Concept2014 (talk · contribs · deleted contribs · nuke contribs · logs · edit filter log · block user · block log) and adjusted the filter. Thanks! NawlinWiki (talk) 11:48, 6 December 2014 (UTC)
