Speedy deletion nomination of Jason Pears[edit]

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.

A tag has been placed on Jason Pears 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 a person or group of people, 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, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), 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. 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. Fæ (talk) 10:05, 12 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

March 2011[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Jason Pears has been reverted.
Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline from Wikipedia. The external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. I removed the following link(s): http://boyculture.typepad.com/boy_culture/2011/01/anonymous-sex-an-interview-with-black-spark.html.
If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 10:17, 12 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from Jason Pears, a page you have created yourself. If you do not believe the page should be deleted, you can place a {{hangon}} tag on the page, under the existing speedy deletion tag (please do not remove the speedy deletion tag), and make your case on the page's talk page. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 10:22, 12 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add promotional material to Wikipedia. While objective prose about beliefs, products or services is acceptable, Wikipedia is not intended to be a vehicle for soapboxing, advertising or promotion. Thank you. VQuakr (talk) 10:22, 12 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps you're misunderstanding Wikipedia's purpose...[edit]

I saw your note at Talk:Jason Pears, and see the messages above. Wikipedia is designed to be an online encyclopedia, which means we only provide a certain type of information about notable subjects. We do not exist as a place to help people find points of contact, or to promote companies, musicians, or agents. Only people and companies who are already "notable" may be included; these are generally people/companies which have already been written about in multiple, independent, reliable sources. If you have any questions, I would be happy to help; you can leave a message here or on my talk page. Qwyrxian (talk) 10:36, 12 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

= I do not misunderstand Wikipedia's purpose...[edit]

Perhaps I don't understand why someone who has been cited in quite a number of independent reliable sources online and who is fairly notable in his genre doesn't qualify as Wiki relevant. Yes he is a talent manager but he is also producing films which are changing gay cinema. That has been noted in all of those interviews I posted. I just want to be sure there is a place this information is posted that isn't related to what his company is posting as they do their best to maintain a certain level of anonymity.

Removing Speedy at Black Spark[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from Black Spark, a page you have created yourself. If you do not believe the page should be deleted, you can place a {{hangon}} tag on the page, under the existing speedy deletion tag (please do not remove the speedy deletion tag), and make your case on the page's talk page. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you. - SDPatrolBot (talk) 10:56, 12 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on Black Spark Film, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which 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 guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), 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 stop removing speedy deletion notices from pages that you have created yourself, as you did with Jason Pears. If you continue, you may be blocked from editing Wikipedia. LordVetinari (talk) 11:19, 12 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Even if Black Spark is notable, which is not clear to me, it does not follow that his personal manager is; and the article simply duplicated what was in Black Spark Film. JohnCD (talk) 12:42, 12 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Guidance on notability[edit]

Hi Gfilmonline,

Wikipedia has its own guidance for notability that may not be the same as your intuitive sense of what is notable. Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia of general knowledge rather than an index of profiles of companies and people. Each article needs several independent reliable sources to show significant impact on the historical record. The guidance for organizations is given at WP:ORG and for biographies WP:BIO applies.

If the articles you are creating have reliable sources to support the criteria defined in that guidance then you may have a reason to keep the articles from being deleted which you are welcome to raise on the article talk page or on any linked deletion discussion. If you are associated with the organization, person or product the article is about then you must follow the conflict of interest guidelines and avoid editing the article yourself but you are free to suggest and discuss changes.

Rather than starting "live" articles, you can create a draft first which allows you to get your article properly sourced before risking speedy deletion - see Userspace draft and Userfication.

If you would like some independent help you can ask one of the noticeboards at WP:Requests or try chatting with other Wikipedians on #wikipedia-en-help ^connect.

Thanks, Fæ (talk) 17:51, 12 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
