Flakjacket page

toni whats the prob mate....its written how it is ? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Flakjacketrock (talk • contribs) 05:31, 2 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Very simply, it fails to meet the inclusion criteria in WP:MUSIC. ttonyb (talk) 14:02, 2 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion of Cindy Duncan McMillan

Hello TTonyb1! Thanks for your help with the article on Cindy Duncan Mcmillan. I was wondering if I could bother you for some advice. I am trying to figure out if I can get the article to pass WP:POLITICIAN. I see the line in the guidelines

A politician who has received "significant press coverage" has been written about, in depth, independently in multiple news feature articles, by journalists.

I have no real knowledge of how to judge "significate press coverage". If I cite more sources would this help or is the subject of the article just not covered enough in the press. I have been able to locate about 28 articles on GNEWS for her, but if she would need 10,00 I could obviously stop now. Any advice you could give me would be much appreciated. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dewolfe48 (talk • contribs) 21:02, 3 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Actually the number is not as important as quality. Take a look at WP:RS and specifically WP:NEWSORG. Articles must be supported by "non-trivial" secondary sources. "Non-trivial" means the reference article should be about the Wikipedia article subject and be much more than a passing mention. Good luck... ttonyb (talk)

Tammie Kaae

Declined, I'm pretty sure that http://wpedia.goo.ne.jp/enwiki/Tammie_Kaae is a wikimirror, and the text got out to the mirrors because this article was previously deleted under a BLPPROD. Let me know (or just re-tag G12) if I'm mistaken. Have a great week! --joe deckertalk to me 04:04, 4 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the heads up. I based my CSD on the "Copyright:(C) 2011 NTT Resonant Inc. All Rights Reserved." at the bottom of page. Since I cannot go beyond that - Japanese is not my native language - I'll leave it as is. My best to you. ttonyb (talk) 04:09, 4 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
It's not mine either, but I've seen goo.ne.jp mirror en.wiki content quite a bit when I've looked for copyvios myself, kinda wacky, but ... I'm amazed how many w-mirrors there are! --joe deckertalk to me 04:10, 4 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks...The number of mirrors says a lot (all positive) about Wikipedia content being valuable. ttonyb (talk) 04:12, 4 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

StrataFusion Page

Hello Ttonyb1. Thanks for your notes. I have reviewed the suggested materials. I submit to you that this article was written in good faith, so please know that all I seek is consistent guidance from Wikipedia. StrataFusion's business model hinges on management consulting work being performed by Chief Information Officers and other Senior Executives. This differentiates the organization in the marketplace from other Advisory firms listed within Wikipedia such as the following:

Numerous external sources have been provided to support StrataFusion's content, and in many cases they are the same or similar sources as those provided by the Advisory firms above. Can you clarify your note with an example of a verifiable source such as those included in the samples above so that similar sources for StrataFusion can be gathered and presented? Thank you for the additional clarification. — Preceding unsigned comment added by ManagementConsultingFan (talk • contribs) 05:23, 4 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

MCF, Thanks for the note. I have no doubt you have written the article in good faith. Each article has to meet certain criteria to establish Wikipedia notability. Wikipedia notability differs from "real-world" notability in that it does not rely on popularity or such to meet the criteria. Each article has to demonstrate notability, in this case WP:COMPANY, using reliable sources. Unfortunately it appears this article does not meet that criteria. The articles you referenced are not reliable sources. Examples of reliable secondary sources would be an article in the WSJ or other major paper (either online or print), extensive local coverage, or independent reviews of the company's service in a project. Items such as press releases, company listings, website listings, or passing mentions in a newspaper article are not. For example, if I were providing a reference for the SWA 737 airframe failures, I could use [1]. ttonyb (talk) 05:49, 4 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Stella Ruiz White

hi tony, my name is Rick Respicio and i represent Stella Ruiz White. i am her manager and we are trying to make her page in wikipedia as official and as legally possible without any controversial articles such as her wedding to an ex-bf from another artist back home in the philippines. i propose to delete that footnote about her husband and the ex-gf since it is not about stella but it keeps reverting to that controversial article which might create a negative publicity. i need your help in this. i added categories, her songs and other information today but i keep getting the warnings and i am trying to do my best but also am very busy. any assistance from you would be greatly appreciated. thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by KingR2r (talk • contribs) 15:27, 4 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

1. Wikipedia is not a vehicle to promote your clients. See WP:PROMOTION.
2. Please read WP:COI.
3. Wikipedia is not censored to remove supportable negative items about a subject. See WP:CENSORED ttonyb (talk) 15:39, 4 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Dwight eisenhower world war II jacket and Dwight Eisenhower's Rolex Watch

My apologies for starting a new topic here, but I just started using wikipedia for a work assignment and I don't know how to respond to proposed actions and comments on articles I create. Basically I work for a collector (see Raleigh DeGeer Amyx)---his web developer, actually---and must create wikipedia articles featuring some of his most historically significant and important items (especially Eisenhower's Rolex Watch). I saw a comment that mentioned GHIT and GNEWS. I don't know what those are, but am eager to find out and work on getting my articles to pass muster, as it were. thanks, ryanRaw4815 (talk) 18:01, 6 April 2011 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Raw4815 (talk • contribs) 17:47, 6 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Raw4815, this is a good way to communicate any questions you have about your articles. The reason the articles have been nominated for deletion is they do not appear to meet the criteria for inclusion. All articles must be notable per Wikipedia standards, that is they must meet criteria in WP:G using reliable sources. I do not see that the items meet that criteria. GHits and GNEWS refer to Google hits and Google News. I suggest you also read WP:PROMOTION and WP:COI. ttonyb (talk) 18:02, 6 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I have read a few more of the notability guideline articles, and I believe I am beginning to get the hang of this. As I understand it, thus far, both of my pages (Eisenhower's World War II Jacket, and Eisenhower's Rolex Watch) are proposed for deletion primarily because the entry does not have reliable sources. Now then, I have two, maybe three questions in regard to this. First thing: On the Raleigh DeGeer Amyx wikipedia page, the very watch (which is by nature notable since it is mention in the Amyx article itself as notable in the nationally known collection) of which I'm trying to make a separate page is mentioned. Since companies do not typically publish their entire histories, I had to find a source on the web that verified the Rolex story, especially of how this particular Eisenhower issue was crucial in creating an international status of success by those who now wear the Rolex gold watch. This source is at: http://rolexblog.blogspot.com/2008/07/history-of-rolex-president-part-1.html My question is, does this link count as a reliable source, and can I list it in the Sources section of the Dwight Eisenhower Rolex Watch page? Now for my second question: Can I link TO the Eisenhower Rolex Watch page within the collector's main page, specifically right where it is mentioned and referenced?
