Welcome![edit]

Hello, Shnerd12, and welcome to Wikipedia! My name is Shalor and I work with the Wiki Education Foundation; I help support students who are editing as part of a class assignment.

I hope you enjoy editing here. If you haven't already done so, please check out the student training library, which introduces you to editing and Wikipedia's core principles. You may also want to check out the Teahouse, a community of Wikipedia editors dedicated to helping new users. Below are some resources to help you get started editing.

Speedy deletion nomination of Janelle Asselin[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 Janelle Asselin, 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, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Hi! I received a notification about this. It looks like the article had two main issues: notability and promotional tones, the latter of which was what prompted the speedy deletion. In order to avoid promotional tones, avoid words like "passion" - this is seen as inherently promotional. Claims like her reviving the romance comic industry should be handled very carefully in that you should attribute them to the person making the claim, like "In 2011 Asselin was laid off by Disney due to (reasons, if possible), after which point she decided to start her own publishing company, Rosy Press. The company would publish Fresh Romance, a comic anthology that Asselin hoped would revive the romance comic industry." Now the claim is attributed to Asselin, which would help defuse claim related concerns.

Also, make sure that you aren't using similar words or phrasing to describe her accomplishments, as using these can make the article seem a bit like a resume or CV. The article wasn't over the top, so I think that the promotional concerns were compounded by the fact that the article had no independent, reliable sources that could establish notability. While Asselin has certainly worked for notable publishers and companies, that notability is not automatically inherited and as such, you will need sourcing that focuses on her specifically. Something like this or this could help, although I do want to emphasize that you should not rely solely on coverage that focuses on the Teen Titans cover issue, as that would be seen as one event. I hope all of this helps! Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk)

A tag has been placed on Janelle Asselin, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

It 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 encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.
It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, 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. (See section A7 of 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 this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

I've moved this temporarily to User:Shnerd12/Janelle Asselin. I've gone through and cleaned up the content that would be seen as promotional. My recommendation is to try to find some more coverage, if possible, and when you're ready, move it back live. On a side note, have you seen this?

Your submission at Articles for creation: Janelle Asselin (January 19)[edit]

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

This submission's references do not adequately show the subject's notability. Wikipedia requires significant coverage (not just mere mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject—see the guidelines on the notability of people, the golden rule and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue. Please improve the submission's referencing (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners and Help:Introduction to referencing/1), so that the information is verifiable, and there is clear evidence of why the subject is notable and worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. If additional reliable sources cannot be found for the subject, then it may not be suitable for Wikipedia at this time.

The comment the reviewer left was:

Unclear if this was a misplaced test or a genuinely submitted article. In the event that it was submitted for inclusion into the encyclopedia, it needs references to significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, which is not currently present in the article.

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 when they have been resolved.

If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Janelle Asselin and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Janelle Asselin, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" at the top of the draft text and save.
If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.
You can also use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.
