Your contributed article, Tuned Out

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, I notice that you recently created a new page, Tuned Out. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page - Tabitha. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Tabitha - you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think that the article you created should remain separate, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). 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 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. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. —C.Fred (talk) 00:44, 7 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Tuned Out

Please refrain from introducing inappropriate pages, such as Tuned Out, to Wikipedia. Doing so is not in accordance with our policies. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox.

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," which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). 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 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.

The article is still just a redress of the text of the article about Tabitha. Please explain, here on your talk page, what you're trying to write about in this article. Then, other editors, including myself, can help to get the article started—provided it's a valid subject. —C.Fred (talk) 01:06, 7 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for revising the article so there is now clearer context about what Tuned Out is. The next order of business is proving that it's a notable show. The usual way to demonstrate that is to show that it's gotten significant coverage in reliable sources independent of the subject. This usually means newspaper and magazine coverage, but it should be coverage at higher than just the local level—not every local TV show is notable.

Additionally, as it appears you're a creator and the director of the show, there is an additional issue with your conflict of interest. I hate leaving another templated message, but it says it better than I could:

Hello Blairpeyton. If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Tuned Out, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about following the reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:

Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. —C.Fred (talk) 01:24, 7 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not remove maintenance templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Tuned Out, without resolving the problem that the template refers to, or giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. Your removal of this template does not appear constructive, and has been reverted. Do not remove the COI tag from this article. The tag is there because of your conflict of interest, so you may not remove it; only an independent editor can. —C.Fred (talk) 01:43, 7 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Would you care to explain why you've removed the COI tag from the article again, or would you prefer that I just bring it up for wider discussion at the conflict of interest noticeboard? —C.Fred (talk) 05:08, 7 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

…Or if it's only won local awards, is there any reason I shouldn't just open discussion at WP:Articles for deletion about deleting this article? —C.Fred (talk) 05:24, 7 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by ToThAc was:
