Please do be nice.

Please read before posting

• Post all new sections under a new header at the bottom of this page, not at random. If you make it clear you ignored these instructions by placing it elsewhere, I am likely to ignore your request in turn.

• If you leave me a message here, I will respond to it here, as fragmented discussions are confusing. I may or may not leave you a notice that I've responded on your talk page. If you specifically request that I do (or do not) give you such a notice when I respond, I'll honor that request. If I contact you on your talk page, I will watchlist it so that I can respond there. If you'd like to leave me a notice when you respond (a ping will also suffice), it would be appreciated, and you'll probably receive a faster followup.
• If you are an admin here to ask me about someone I blocked for vandalism or spamming/advertising, they've agreed to stop it, and you believe they intend to edit productively, go ahead and unblock them. If you still want my opinion please feel free to ask, but there's no obligation. For more complex cases I would appreciate a heads-up, but please go ahead with your best judgment if I don't seem to be online. I would appreciate it if you'd let me know after you do.
• If you are here to discuss edits made to an article, please use the article talk page, not this talk page, to discuss them. If I made the edit and the question is specifically directed at me, you are welcome to ping me.
• If you email me a question or request, and do not indicate why the matter is sensitive and must be handled privately (and such is not immediately obvious), I may ignore it or respond on your talk page rather than by return email. Talk pages are open to other editors to read, and so are the preferred method of communication for matters involving Wikipedia. If the matter you are speaking to me about is Wikipedia-related and would not violate anyone's privacy by being posted publicly, please use my talk page instead of email. This does not, of course, apply to editors who are blocked from editing, though I still may respond on your talk page rather than by return email. Also, if you are contacting me for a matter related to the Arbitration Committee, please specifically indicate this in your email. All correspondence of this nature will be treated as confidential, though I am likely to forward it to the Committee as a whole, or any appropriate subcommittee, for consideration.
• If you are here to ask a question regarding deletion of any kind, please read this before asking, and ask only if you need further clarification or still disagree after reading. If you ask a question answered there, I'll just refer you to it anyway.
• While I will generally leave any personal attacks or uncivil comments you may make about me here, that does not mean that I find them acceptable, nor that I will not seek action against attacks that are severe or persistent.
• I reserve the right to remove, revert, or immediately archive any material on this page, but will do so only in extreme circumstances, generally that of personal attacks or outing attempts against others. I will only revision delete material on this page in accordance with the revision deletion policy, and will clearly denote the reason why.

My "Draft:The Thin Gold Line" page

Hello there! Thank you for the work you are doing, I can imagine that is not always easy :)

My draft page "Draft:The Thin Gold Line" has been deleted by you yesterday because of Unambiguous advertising or promotion. Do you think there is a way to make a company wiki page without advertising or promote? Should I delete some "wrong" text? My goal is to say that this brand exist and that their product is the largest hot gold foil stamping realization to date.

Let me know what you think.

In any case can I have back the draft page, even only for few minutes just to copy some text that I need?

Thank you very much for your precious time!

Iamyouaresheis, yes, we have many articles about companies and products. They are required to be neutral in tone and content, based upon reliable and independent sources. If substantial amounts of such reference material do not exist, we should not have an article about the subject. In this case, the sources looked rather like blogs (which are not reliable) and read like reprinted press releases (the first source actually acknowledges such) which are not independent. The article contains a fair bit of marketese, such as use of the meaningless "brand" (is it a product? A company? Then call it that.), and fluffy "talking up" like The Thin Gold Line is also a technical achievement: the art prints being the largest hot gold foil stamping realization to date, printed on the blackest paper in the world. (And such an assertion would need a much more reliable source than what essentially looks like a blog). I don't restore advertisements on-wiki, but if you'd like to have a copy of the deleted text to use elsewhere, I can send it by email. If you'd like me to do that, let me know whether you would like the text as plain text or with wiki markup. Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me} 22:40, 8 January 2020 (UTC)

Thank you a lot! Great feedbacks! Yes, could you send me by email the entire wiki html text? Thank you! Iamyouaresheis (talk) 07:42, 9 January 2020 (UTC)

Seraphimblade do you already have my email?

Review of Fizzarotti Palace

Hi! Awhile back you helped move my flagged article Fizarotti Palace to draft. Can you help me again or direct me to where I can find help? Is this new version more suitable? Also, how do I fix the coordinates and image box. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Fizzarotti_Palace Thanks so much! Shannon.wianecki (talk) 00:35, 11 January 2020 (UTC)

Shannon.wianecki, certainly looks better now than it did. I added a template to the article so that you can request review once you believe it's ready to move to mainspace. I'm afraid I'm not terribly familiar with fixing infobox stuff, but if you ask at the teahouse I bet someone will know how to do it. Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me} 01:05, 11 January 2020 (UTC)

producer Malcolm Springer

This page has been vandalized by deletion, according to my research.

Springer has a solid work history in the music industry and is mention in several articles pertaining to Rock 'n' Roll bands and their histories.

If anything, Springer is undercredited, if you judge him only on discography.

Check these two sources:

https://www.discogs.com/artist/429818-Malcolm-Springer

https://www.allmusic.com/artist/malcolm-springer-mn0000561280

Check my work, but I believe this is a good start made up of Collected and Other pertinent information:

Malcolm Springer Malcolm Sibley Springer (born April 2, 1970) is an American mix engineer, record producer, songwriter, arranger, and musician known for his long association with the House of Blues Studios and work with rock artists such as Matchbox 20, Collective Soul, Full Devil Jacket and Fear Factory.[1]

Early Life Born in Hayti, Mo., April 2, 1970, Springer grew up on a Southeast Missouri farm in New Madrid County between Marston, Mo., and Portageville, Mo., and attended Portageville Elementary and Portageville Junior High School and graduated from Portageville High School in 1988.

An all-state high school athlete, Springer played football and ran track as a member of the relay team and for 440 yard events.

Music has been a part of Springer’s life since age 8 when he started piano lessons. “They didn’t last long,” he recalled of the lessons. But Springer continued to develop his abilities on piano as well as on other instruments including guitar and bass.

While Springer only attended Southeast Missouri State University in Cape Girardeau, Mo., for one year, he played double bass for the university’s band during his time there and became a member of the Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity.

Music career In 1991, Springer worked for high-end mixing console manufacturer Solid State Logic installing their first “Ultimation” motorized fader automation systems. By 1992, Springer had been promoted/hired as chief engineer at Beale Street Studios in Memphis, Tenn. In 1993, he became chief engineer at the House of Blues Studios in Memphis, Tenn., where he remained until 1996. Springer also worked as a staff engineer at Ocean Way Nashville Studio in Nashville, Tenn., in 1995-1996. In 1996-1997, Springer worked as an assistant engineer and production coordinator for Peter Collins, an English record producer.

No, there was no vandalism. The prior "article" on Springer was a spamvertisement, and those are deleted. If you believe you can write an appropriate article about this individual, start a draft. You will need better references than Discogs and Allmusic. If no better references exist, we should not have an article about this subject at all. Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me} 20:31, 14 January 2020 (UTC)

Late to the game, but probably already too closely associated to be the author.

This stuff shouldn't be too hard to track down. Album image by album image liner notes, if all else fails.

FWIW, I was very much about facts during my 17 years as a journalist/editor for The Standard Democrat. I'm not looking to inflate anything.

Best regards,

Album liner notes would not be sufficient. What is necessary to establish notability is a substantial quantityy of reliable and independent reference material written about an individual by disinterested third parties. Again, if that does not exist, then we should not have an article about a given subject at all. Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me} 06:35, 15 January 2020 (UTC)

Seraphimblade,

As per Wikipedia's notability page, "The common theme in the notability guidelines is that there must be verifiable, objective evidence that the subject has received significant attention from independent sources to support a claim of notability."

Numerous gold and platinum awards for past projects notwithstanding, here are a few links.

https://www.semissourian.com/story/1918209.html

Springer is much more notable and significant than several artists he has developed, produced, mixed or recorded that have met the criteria for being notable.

At what point does a producer become "notable"? Because I don't understand the specific criteria.

As a lay person user of Wikipedia who has found it very reliable and a great first step in getting information on a variety of subjects and as a former journalist who used Wikipedia in the same way, I find it frustrating and odd that I can learn about some producers but others are non-clickable links.

Artists, audophiles, entertainment writers are just three off the top of my head who would agree that any producer, mixer, songwriter, arranger that has on several occassions contributed verifiable and credited work on albums selling a million units is worth knowing more about.

Best regards,

Scott who probably should be digging around for his Wikipedia password and doing all of this while logged in. 2600:6C40:2A7F:F61A:A599:D2DA:EB8F:BB9F (talk) 20:15, 23 January 2020 (UTC)

Review of Gareth O'Sullivan

Hi Seraphimblade, Thank you for your help in reviewing the draft page: Gareth O'Sullivan. The article has been updated as per your comments "Phrases like "passion and knowledge" need toned down or removed, as well as the puff and talking up. "O'Sullivan", not "Gareth" (full name on first mention, last only thereafter.)" Is there anything else required for O'Sullivan's draft article to be approved? Many thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ItsGGO18 (talk • contribs) 13:01, 20 January 2020 (UTC)

Hello

Could you please help review this once again and help provide leads on what's can be done to make it better?
