Dear Truthbringer: I have revised the eTouch article to emphasize notability as requested. Below is the copy and also current Wikipedia entries for companies that have a similar offering. Please clarify why these articles are notable and why mine is not. I cannot determine the difference.

Also: eTouch's work with NASA has been documented by the San Jose Mercury News, Computerworld, Government Computer News, The Web Hosting Industry Review, and many other publications that cover the Internet as well as space exploration.

eTouch Systems is a Fremont, Calif., software company that has developed proprietary social computing technologies including an enterprise wiki solution built on a J2EE platform called SamePage. Founded in 1998, eTouch has developed collaboration software powered by a comprehensive Content Management solution. Customers include Cisco, Kaplan, Johnson & Johnson, and NASA.

As the prime contractor for NASA, eTouch led the effort to help the space agency consolidate its 3,000 web sites into a more manageable, single public web portal to inspire the next generation of space explorers. Built on eTouch’s CMS product, NASA’s public portal delivers up-to-the-minute, engaging multimedia coverage of NASA’s wide variety of programs, including dazzling photos and streaming media content from the Mars Rovers mission, the Cassini flyby and the ongoing space shuttle missions. eTouch’s partnerships with Akamai Technologies and Yahoo! ensures that the content can be delivered to anyone on earth and downloaded on the Internet in less than two seconds without interruption or failure.

Since the launch of the Mars Rover missions, NASA’s web traffic has skyrocketed to 50 Gigabytes during special space events, such as the Return to Flight shuttle mission in July 2005 and the Atlantis space shuttle mission to resume construction of the International Space Station in September of 2006. Peak traffic of 50 Gigabytes is equal to all the words in all the books that would fill the U.S. Library of Congress 63 times.

eTouch has leveraged its experience with organizations like NASA to build out an enterprise-class wiki with a blog publishing tool. eTouch SamePage provides a number of advanced features, including WYSIWYG editing, project management, permissioning, administration and support for multiple domains.

Personally I don't think he's notable enough outsite the band to have his own article, but I'll restore it if you want me to. -- Steel 21:26, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

Notice to editor on AfD nomination

Re you comments on my talk page, in recent times I have always gone to a prod (or sometimes speedy) before going forward with an AfD nomination. I will make a concerted effort going forward to place the AfD notice tag on an editor's page if they are not the person who removed the prod tag. If they removed the tag, I assume they are watching the article and a notice is not needed. This is a form of instruction creep.--Gay Cdn (talk) (email) (Contr.) 22:00, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

• I indicated to you I would add a notice to the user pages of the creators of pages I nominate for AfD. you left the following template as what should be used, {{subst:afd|Name of article}}, but when I went to add that to a users talk page, it did not work.--Gay Cdn (talk) (email) (Contr.) 13:29, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

• I meant to say {{subst:adw|Name of article}}. adw probably stands for Article Deletion Warning. I'm sorry. --TruthbringerToronto (Talk | contribs) 19:44, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

Can you take a look at this?

Can you look at this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Anthropogeology and tell me what I did wrong? I have not listed an article for deletion in a while, and there have been some changes. So, apparently, I did something wrong, 'cause this does not look right. Thank you for your time. ---Charles 23:28, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

• Thanks for your note. There was a misplaced {{subst: which I removed. I also commented on the nomination. --TruthbringerToronto (Talk | contribs) 23:43, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

Deletion of Aussie Pollie Stubs

I am very concerned about the recent deletion of around 50 stubs on Australian politicians. These articles lay the foundation for what Wikipedia will one day be..."a multilingual free encyclopedia of the highest possible quality to every single person on the planet in their own language" (Jimmy Wales). This however will not happen overnight. I draw parallels to my own project on Central Coast, New South Wales articles. 90% of the suburbs are stubs. But these stubs encourage anyone to edit. Even trivial information has a place on Wikipedia. It should not worry YOU if the articles contained very little information, but you should be happy that the articles had information. In many cases these articles only needed an infobox and they would have been reasonably adequate. In closing I ask anyone who has supported their deletion, that you reconsider your vote by visiting this page: Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2006 September 30#Albert Piddington (Australian politician) Todd661 10:18, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

Strata

In reference to your comment about Strata touring nationally according to their website:WP:MUSIC states "Has gone on an international concert tour, or a national concert tour in at least one large or medium-sized country,[1] reported in NOTABLE and verifiable sources." (Emphasis mine) This means notability is not gained by having a national tour, but by having a national tour that was notable enough to be notable to a notable source! Sorry about the overuse of that word for a second. As far as wikipedia is concerned, I do not believe that bigger is better. It is important to stand by wikipedia policy.

The Ancient Apostolic Communion

Hello,

Would you please take a moment to look over The Ancient Apostolic Communion article and its talk page. It has been nominated for deletion and I believe it is just as notable as other articles on Independent Catholic Churches.

Thank you. --Kf4bdy ^{talk contribs} 01:58, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

I added one link I could find to an article that mentions us in the Aiken Standard newspaper. That is all I have at the moment although there have been two other articles printed one in the North Augusta Star and one in the Kentucky New Era but neither have them in archive online. Is there a way I can add the info from a print article? --Kf4bdy ^{talk contribs} 02:34, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

Yes. Just cite the print articles in the same way you would in an academic essay, and include a summary if the headline does not offer a sufficient description of the article. See Wikipedia:Citing sources, also known as WP:CITE, for a discussion how to cite newspaper articles. --TruthbringerToronto (Talk | contribs) 02:39, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

Do you mind giving it another once over? I have added some reliable sources. --Kf4bdy ^{talk contribs} 03:33, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

I changed bi-vocational to "All clergy in the church have paid jobs outside the church", which I think says the same thing. I have heard the term "worker priest" for clergy in this situation, possibly in the context of the Liberal Catholic Church. You mention the number of clergy, but you should also mention the number of the faithful. --TruthbringerToronto (Talk | contribs) 06:19, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for all your help. I have made the changes you suggested. Just slipped my mind while working on this article. --Kf4bdy ^{talk contribs} 06:35, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

The Tracom group

Hello - I got your message and I admit to being a little confused - but I'm trying to fix the issues that you have mentioned. Social Style is actually a model known world-wide in the human resources/training & development industries and people often ask where it originated. This page details where and how it originated. I've been researching this - speaking with professors at universities (who often also don't know where social style originated). I notice that people use style as a behavioral term and I'm not even sure if they know that it came from social style. Meaning - in the circles that I associate with this is definitely of interest to people and it's notable because it's part of the history of interpersonal skills development - and is comparable to what most people in the general public know about a Myers-Briggs test - which is personality - but social style is behavioral. My point is that I will go in and try and cite more references - but for people in the HR and Training industries - this is of importance- it tells them the history of why they use the models that they use - and where they originated.Contribute Ideas 15:13, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

It seems that this page has already been deleted and I can't go in and edit it - please get in touch with me - I'd like to cite more references. And I absolutely believe this is very notable to people in the industry.Contribute Ideas 16:08, 6 October 2006 (UTC)

Sorry for the late reply; the page can now be found at User:Contribute Ideas/TRACOM. Cheers and happy editing. Lectonar 14:33, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

I'm confused :(

I would appreciate your help if possible. I'm quite new to all this and am having trouble understanding why exactly the article on Anthony Yadgaroff is being deleted.

His name was listed on another wikipedia entry (for Bhukaran Jews) and thus we decided to put some information up about him should people want to read it.

I have tried to verify things by adding web sites for various mentioned companies etc, but it seems this is not good enough. It may just be me but I am very confused about what is actually wanted from me in order for this article to remain live.

I am quite happy to change it so that it follows the rules, but I'm just not sure how!

If you could please help that would be brilliant. Thanks.Kimwatkins 13:51, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

• You need to edit the article to demonstrate that this person satisfies WP:BIO. --TruthbringerToronto (Talk | contribs) 17:42, 9 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your help. I have had a look at the WP: BIO page and do believe that Anthony Yadgaroff satisfies two of the categories, namely:

- The person made a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in their specific field; and also the alternative test

- Google Test - Does a search for the subject produce a large number of distinguishable hits on Google or other well-known Internet search engine?

With this is mind, I would appreciate it if you could reconsider the deletion of this article.

Many thanks. Kimwatkins 16:10, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

Hello, Ronnie Nader's www.ecuadoralespacio.org reference is not a government official page, is a paid support for an aggency.

  • Article viability satified. I'll drop the subject with you. I only need to get it something to link to it. If you know of another article that can link to it, please let me know. Lastly, the References section corresponds to footnotes. That is when in the article you see ¹ or [1], those numbers correspond with the notes in the References section. Should anyone have a question about the article, they can read the footnote to check the information. Please try to maintain the references, as I believe they help everyone. --meatclerk 22:44, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
