ESPN/TrueHoop ranking

Hi, I noticed that you've been adding the ESPN/TrueHoop ranking to a bunch of NBA player pages. The problem is, these rankings aren't notable/official enough to really warrant inclusion. Pretty much every media outlet has some sort of in-house ranking, and there's no official metric to say which one is more notable than another. Some rankings, like John Hollinger's PER, get widespread coverage from other outlets, but for the most part, these in-house rankings aren't treated with any importance. Anyway, feel free to discuss the subject at WT:NBA. --Mosmof (talk) 00:56, 24 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I would agree that would like to see source other than ESPN mention this to validate importance. I'm open to discussion at WT:NBA as Mosmof suggested.—Bagumba (talk) 00:59, 24 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the heads up. I felt in ESPN Rankings were of merit and because of the number of sports writers and fans that participated in the voting for this project that it was significant and existed as much more than mere in house rankings, Also the ESPN name is a respected one. I just felt the addition of such statistics would be of interest to basketball fans. I do not however have a large enough stake in whether or not they are included so I will not be taking this issue up with the Wiki Project page, but i am a basketball fan,so I will leave this decision with you.

- Another editor has started discussion at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_National_Basketball_Association#Is_this_notable. It's OK if you dont care about this specific issue, but it's also OK to be bold if you are so inclined. Cheers.—Bagumba (talk) 02:03, 24 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Good decision

Nice call with this edit; would that the tagger (or I) had come up with such an elegant and rational solution to that situation. HuskyHuskie (talk) 21:34, 6 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, there is a Manual of Style that should be followed to maintain a consistent, encyclopedic appearance. Using different styles throughout the encyclopedia, as you did in Louis Deveau, makes it harder to read. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Eeekster (talk) 08:58, 19 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of New England Legal Foundation

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on New England Legal Foundation requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you.

Speedy deletion nomination of Sales Career in Indian Pharmaceutical Industry

You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles. See the Article Wizard.

Thank you.

A tag has been placed on Sales Career in Indian Pharmaceutical Industry, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be unambiguous advertising that only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item G11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, . Clicking that button will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the article's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. You may freely add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from independent reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Planetary ChaosTalk 07:36, 28 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Kenny Tick Salcido

Hello TheHappiestCritic...Thanks for all of you're help on The Latch Brothers Wiki page. It was an honor to see my first contribution approved thanks to you.

I found tons of info on one of the members and accidently started off the article saying he was a music executive first when I figured out and am now corrected as I have fixed the language in my latest edit.  Everything now on Kenny Tick Salcido I feel looks good, however I need a professional to help clean it up so it does note get deleted.  This is only my  second contribution and I feel the individual adds to the lineage of my previous article and is truly worthy.   I am still learning and I am hoping you can help me clean this article up and this can be approved.

Sincerely, Kurt Nardone
