I do not understand why my article is being labeled as spam. I have tried with all the facts, basic facts and then the last note was that there wasn't enough information aobut the company, so I added more. This is my first article and I keep trying to do it properly as I would like to add most the major national companies located in South West Florida in wikipedia and I'm trying to get the first one right.

AfD

Apologies. It went through two different AfDs. One was speedy, the other was summarily deleted. Thought it qualified. However, it's still been removed twice and now it's got two different pages with the same information that still fails WP:N. KV5Squawk boxFight on! 13:26, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You're right about the multiple articles. These guys might be notable (if referenced), but I don't really care for how the editor is going about creating the articles. Cheers.... justinfr (talk) 13:28, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

J.R. Exclusive

J.R. Exclusive is a music producer who produced songs for artist on major labels (Lil Wayne, Freekey Zekey, SoSa, Lil Boosie). He does not have that musch information on him circulating on the internet. You cannot accurately source his information because of that. This is the second time that on of the moderator has deleted his page. I would like for his information to be put back up. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dat937boi (talkcontribs) 14:15, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, WP is not for original research. Until his notability can be established through reliable, third-party sources (see guidelines at WP:MUSIC) the article will likely continue to be deleted. justinfr (talk) 14:19, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Right -- mixtape artists aren't generally considered notable, and the only sources in the article (even after improvement) were the artist's own page and a "DIY stardom" site where artists post their own profiles. And no problem on the Chiacig stuff. NawlinWiki (talk) 14:46, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Beneva Corporation

I do not understand why my article is being labeled as spam. I have tried with all the facts, basic facts and then the last note was that there wasn't enough information aobut the company, so I added more. This is my first article and I keep trying to do it properly as I would like to add most the major national companies located in South West Florida in wikipedia and I'm trying to get the first one right. Any help or suggestion would be appreciated. —Preceding unsigned comment added by DaveOMac (talkcontribs) 14:48, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for your understanding--the process can be a bit rocky for a new editor. There are some guidelines at WP:COMPANY about whether companies fulfil the notability requirements. Second, an important thing is to include some third-party sources that are verifiable. If you create an article about an important company that has been covered in major media, for example, then it would be more likely to stay. Here are some general guidelines on writing a great article. justinfr (talk) 14:53, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Justin, I know there are some news feeds and articles I cna link to. DaveOMac (talk)

Hey there

I just posted the same thing to another user who asked me the same question, and the only answer is that twinkle doesn't have an option to mark for speedy deletion, which is what I use for all of these tasks. All the best, Citedcover (talk) 16:22, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks

Hello and thank you for the links you provided. I hope I will soon better understand how to use wikipedia.Persons0 (talk) 17:55, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome. It can be a bit overwhelming starting out as an editor, but I'm glad you decided to contribute. I was probably a bit hasty in tagging College Woodwork, if it's over a century old, so I apologize and hope you can expand it into a great article! justinfr (talk) 18:00, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Investment technology news

I'm trying to add an article. I have two issues: 1. I have not yet gotten to add the citations, but I've marked as such that I'm working on it. My article has already been deleted once and you keep adding flags to my article for deletion. If it wasn't being deleted, I could have finished the citaitons/references already. Any suggestions?

2. I named my article Investment Technology Group, yet it keeps being changed to Investment Technology News. How can I change it back?

1. The article hasn't actually been deleted. Sorry, the WP delete process can be a bit confusing. I suggested that it should be deleted with the {{prod}} tag because it seemed to be spam or advertising. Since you disagree with me, you did the right thing in removing that tag. I then requested a more substantial review of the article through the articles for deletion process. This allows editors to comment on whether an article should be deleted on this page. Feel free to contribute there too.
2. I'm not sure why that happened. You can click on the 'move' tag at the top of the page to fix that. Instructions can be found here.

Zasz (band)

I just started Zasz (band) and wakeup.feelsomething so give me at least a few minutes to create them! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Onewiththefunk (talkcontribs) 17:43, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That's why you should use the {{hangon}} tag. As the articles' creator, please don't remove the speedy deletion tag. Also, please read WP:BAND and WP:COI to make sure your article establishes the band's notability. Without that, it will continue to be tagged and deleted. justinfr (talk) 17:46, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

how do i even undelete it? man im trying to make a page and u delete it within 10 minutes, if they previous concerns are no long an issue why was it deleted? restore it! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Onewiththefunk (talkcontribs) 18:04, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You will have to talk to Orangemike, the administrator who deleted the page. I just recommended it be deleted, he did the actual deleting. Before you recreate, I please read WP:MUSIC and ensure that your band meets those requirements. justinfr (talk) 18:08, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

before whoever deleted it i posted other media's reviews and coverage of the shows (including an ondemand broadcast on the 21st)

hey u deleted my message! how do i get that article back, they'res a list of album reviews and a on demand show that qualifies this article! oh nvm u just moved it up

As I said, you need to talk to Orangemike, the administrator who deleted it. If you've included verifiable, third-party sources and satisfy the notability requirements then you might have a case. justinfr (talk) 18:26, 14 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
