User talk:Bsimonis

Welcome!

Hello, Bsimonis, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, like Sierra Repertory Theatre, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for page creation, and may soon be deleted.

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

Thank you.

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on this page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

Speedy deletion nomination of Sierra Repertory Theatre

A tag has been placed on Sierra Repertory Theatre 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, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for organizations and companies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, 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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. Ironholds (talk) 02:14, 31 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Ironholds did not delete your article (he's not an admin), he only marked it as a candidate for deletion. You can ask to have it undeleted here: Wikipedia:Requests for undeletion --NeilN ^{talk to me} 15:39, 31 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I found an old copy of your article in the wrong Wikipedia "project space" and copied it here for you to work on User:Bsimonis/sandbox. I'll be marking the old copy for deletion. --NeilN ^{talk to me} 16:00, 31 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the assist. I cannot find a reason for the deletion since there are other non-profit theatres with entries in Wikipedia. If you have any suggestions for how I can improve the article I'd appreciate it! Thanks.

The reason was, "Article about a company, corporation, organization, or group, which does not indicate the importance or significance of the subject". Basically, you need to provide references (e.g., links to newspaper articles) that write about the theatre. --NeilN ^{talk to me} 16:26, 31 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I found a couple. Would you like me to add them to the version in your user space and then move the article to article space? --NeilN ^{talk to me} 16:30, 31 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That would be great. There are a number of newspaper articles about the theatre, but nowhere is it clear that it is what is requested. I thought the references to the groups (TCG and Actor's Equity) would suffice. Thanks for the assist on this, I have a better understanding of what is required for an entry.

Hey there; I didn't actually delete it, User:Seraphimblade. I'd suggest asking him (sorry I can't be more help!). Ironholds (talk) 23:40, 31 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I noticed you added two links to the sandbox version. Unfortunately, neither of them proves notability. The first one goes to a kind of "Yellow Pages" listing and the second only mentions the theatre in passing. What is needed is some more like this --NeilN ^{talk to me} 01:28, 1 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Do you have access to this newspaper article [1]? If so, is the any content you can incorporate into this article? --NeilN ^{talk to me} 01:39, 1 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

How about an article in the local newspaper such as this: http://www.modbee.com/scene/story/968354.html I thought that a reference from a university would have more credibility than a newspaper... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.37.137.86 (talk) 04:30, 1 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No, again, the mention is incidental. Think of your local indie movie theatre. If a newspaper mentioned a new movie was playing there, that wouldn't mean the theatre was notable. What we need, quoting from WP:GNG, is "Significant coverage [which] means that sources address the subject directly in detail... Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention but it need not be the main topic of the source material." --NeilN ^{talk to me} 06:48, 1 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I see you've added more references. That should be enough to establish notability so I've moved the article here Sierra Repertory Theatre and blanked your sandbox page. --NeilN ^{talk to me} 06:55, 1 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Cool! Thanks for all of the help on this, obviously I couldn't have done it alone! Bert.

Proposed deletion of File:Front Porch logo.png

The file File:Front Porch logo.png has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Unused logo with no article used, it's also can't move to commons because of an unused logo will be deleted as of out of project scope.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Charles Du Bois (October 11)

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

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Charles Du Bois and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you do not edit your draft in the next 6 months, it will be considered abandoned and may be deleted.
If you need any assistance, or have experienced any untoward behavior associated with this submission, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk, on the reviewer's talk page or use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Charles Du Bois (October 12)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reasons left by S0091 were:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

This submission does not appear to be written in the formal tone expected of an encyclopedia article. Entries should be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of independent, reliable, published sources. Please rewrite your submission in a more encyclopedic format. Please make sure to avoid peacock terms that promote the subject.

The comment the reviewer left was:

He may be notable but most of the sources used are not reliable and the draft needs to be rewritten in a more neutral, encyclopedic tone (i.e. dry, with no editorializing). Given his time period, it is likely the best sources are not available online.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit after they have been resolved.

S0091 (talk) 18:41, 12 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Bsimonis, the writing can be remedied but the sources are key to establishing notability. Do you have access to a library and are inclined to make the effort? Wikipedia does have a library but you do not have enough edits to get access. I have access and don't mind doing some digging but would rather you be involved (and it will take me while). S0091 (talk) 18:51, 12 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for replying. Yes, I have access to a library, but it will be next week before I can get there. I will go to work on re-writing in the meantime. I appreciate your assistance, Charles Du Bois was an important architect in Palm Springs and the legacy he has left behind is impressive. Unfortunately, most of these mid-century architects did not think they were important at the time they were working and so didn't publicize themselves... Bsimonis (talk) 18:53, 12 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Frank Lloyd Wright may offer some clues for sources. Also check Google Books. You need some coverage about him outside of the Palm Springs area. No rush, other than your own timeline. The draft will be available for six months after the last human edit and can be restored at anytime after that. Feel free to ping me (just click the "Reply" link, then the last icon that looks like a person, select my user name, be sure to sign the message or the ping will not work) or you are welcome to post on note on my talk page if you need any help. Also, the Teahouse is the best place for general editing questions. S0091 (talk) 19:08, 12 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
