==[[Texas]] article, Education section== |

...has become the UT and A&M show. I'm surprised that nobody seems to care. Oh well, thanks for your help. [[User:Postoak|Postoak]] 02:32, 2 August 2007 (UTC) |
|||
:I'm not sure where to draw the line for inclusion or how much info should be provided for each. There is already a link to [[List of colleges and universities in Texas]] provided at the top of the section and most of those listed have their own articles anyway. I've added some additional "promenant" universities, but I've probably missed a few, and the scope of what's "promenant" is debatable. --[[User:Evb-wiki|Evb-wiki]] 13:06, 2 August 2007 (UTC) |

I'm going to remove your speedy-delete tag on this article for now, without prejudice (meaning we can go back and speedy delete it later if it's still not up to snuff). I had already tagged it for speedy very early on, but after the original author asked for help and more time, I removed the speedy and replaced it with an {{tl|underconstruction}} tag, invoking the [[WP:AGF|assume good faith]] principle. Please respect that under-construction status for now and let me see if I can salvage this thing. I believe this company ''may'' may meet notability standards, if only because a six-year-old web-based company is almost ancient by Internet standards. We'll revisit this when we're done, and it may very well be that all the good writing in the world can make a company notable. [[User:Realkyhick|Realkyhick]] 17:05, 7 August 2007 (UTC) |
|||
:This also applies to [[Thefurniture.com]], with the lower-case "f". I didn't realize the article was duplicated there, or else the server lag is playing tricks on me, or maybe I'm just dense. :-) Anyway, I'll move it to [[TheFurniture.com]] (with upper-case "F") to eliminate the duplication thing. By the way, just to clarify: As the article sands now, it definitely would qualify for speedy deletion. I'm trying to take the focus away from the site and put it on the company. It may be a futile rescue mission, but we'll see how it goes. [[User:Realkyhick|Realkyhick]] 17:33, 7 August 2007 (UTC) |
|||
::Thanks for understanding. By the way, it's looking like reliable independent sources are few and far between, so this may be a lost cause after all, but let's let it play out for a bit longer. One of the sources I found was a [http://www.dc.bbb.org/report.html?national=Y&compid=194036513 Washington DC Better Business Bureau report] that doesn't cast the company in the best light, but that isn't terribly unusual for web-based retailers. [[User:Realkyhick|Realkyhick]] 17:59, 7 August 2007 (UTC) |
|||
I added a few more sources (articles that contain the facts I wrote about). Also, if you'd like, I can remove the information about the Better Business Bureau Reliability Program. [[User:Dmcnabb5|Dmcnabb5]] 19:20, 7 August 2007 (UTC) |
|||
I have proven the site's notability through its revenue and the fact that it has been in operation for six years, which is almost ancient by online standards. It was written in there, but another admin deleted that fact. Realkyhick said that the article was OK as is. Please do not delete it and PLEASE contact me as soon as possible. Thank you. [[User:Dmcnabb5|Dmcnabb5]] 13:52, 8 August 2007 (UTC) |
|||
:Actually, what Realkyhick said was, "By the way, just to clarify: As the article sands now, it definitely would qualify for speedy deletion." See above. --[[User:Evb-wiki|Evb-wiki]] 13:56, 8 August 2007 (UTC) |
|||
No, what he said was that sources are few and far between, but I went back and added three new sources that verify the facts that I stated. So, please click on the links and you can see for yourself that the sources are independent and reliable. [[User:Dmcnabb5|Dmcnabb5]] 14:05, 8 August 2007 (UTC) |
|||
The deletion comment wasn't the last comment he left you, he said that he changed it but that there were too few sources, after which i added more. So, please re-read the article, check the sources, and give it a chance. Thank you. [[User:Dmcnabb5|Dmcnabb5]] 14:09, 8 August 2007 (UTC) |
|||
Hello, this is the third unanswered comment that I am leaving regarding my article. I have addressed all of its criticisms (lack of notability proof, lack of sources, and advertising writing style). I have shown that it is notable due to the several sources that have written about it, as well as through the facts that I've provided. I also wrote it in an encyclopedic manner, while referencing several independent, reliable sources. Please remove the speedy deletion tag and PLEASE answer my comments because you cannot expect me to improve if my questions and comments are being ignored. While writing the article, I have asked admins over ten questions on how they would like me to word or fix things, but only a few were answered. Please get back to me at your earliest convenience. Thank you in advance. [[User:Dmcnabb5|Dmcnabb5]] 15:34, 8 August 2007 (UTC) |
|||
:The subject of the article is simply [[WP:NN|not notable]]. Neither checkout.google.com or prweb.com (press release newswire) are [[WP:RS|independent reliable sources]]. If I am wrong, an admin will remove the tag. If I am right, an admin will delete the article (again). BTW, I am not an admin and neither is Realkyhick. And neither of us (or anyone else, that I can see) has said or agreed that the article is fine. --[[User:Evb-wiki|Evb-wiki]] 15:52, 8 August 2007 (UTC) |
|||
Why do you not consider them reliable sources? Google checkout simply ran a case study, so why isn't that reliable. Also, I used it for information regarding the company's employment figures, which would not be affected by the case study one way or the other. And the 630% increase came from the owner's quote - and if the owner of the company isn't a reliable source then I don't know what is. [[User:Dmcnabb5|Dmcnabb5]] 16:03, 8 August 2007 (UTC) |
|||
:I've removed the speed delete tag and nominated this article for AfD so a consensus can be reached. Please discuss it [[Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Log/2007_August_8#Thefurniture.com|there]]. --[[User:Evb-wiki|Evb-wiki]] 16:07, 8 August 2007 (UTC) |

== My bad... == |
|||
*laughs* I actually didn't really read the article, [[Kili Aqorau]], fully. I just noticed that it was one line and about a person. I definitely didn't see the last two sentences. XP Thanks for fixing the delete notice.[[User:Silver seren|Silver seren]] 02:22, 9 August 2007 (UTC) |
|||
:Actually, I think it was deleted after you tagged it, and then recreated, adding the attack language. In any case, it has now been deleted twice. --[[User:Evb-wiki|Evb-wiki]] 02:45, 9 August 2007 (UTC) |
|||
::Oh really? That makes me feel better. Its a good thing when your not an idiot. ^_^ [[User:Silver seren|Silver seren]] 03:12, 9 August 2007 (UTC) |
