Speedy deletion nomination of DIY Road Cases[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 DIY Road Cases, 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 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 "Click here to 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 removed 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, you can place a request here. Captain Conundrum (talk) 11:26, 28 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Deaf Symphony[edit]

The article Deaf Symphony has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

The drummer appears to be notable, but his current band is not yet notable per WP:BAND. No significant coverage online from WP:Secondary, WP:Reliable sources.

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

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

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

COI[edit]

Thank you for declaring your intention to do (presumably) paid editing of Wikipedia. If you read conflict of interest editing on Wikipedia and WP:COI you will see that such activity is strongly discouraged. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 13:50, 28 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Roger, I am not sure where the above-mentioned "declaration" mentioning spawned from, but I have no intentions, or desire, to be involved with paid editing on Wikipedia. Thanks - John - Manicrino (talk) 16:51, 29 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps I am a jaded old cynic but "doing Wikipedia pages for some of my clients" seems to me pretty close to a declaration that you intend to do paid editing. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 17:04, 29 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I apologize, I understand now. I was thinking that that your reference was in some way regarding me having interest in doing editing for Wikipedia similar to what you and other folks do with "policing" the articles. I guess that was a poor choice of words in my profile, but having said that, I obviously was not trying to be surreptitious in my efforts. I am not being paid for the Wiki articles. I just think what Larry has accomplished is noteworthy and legitimate, just as anyone who takes the time to write an article in Wikipedia. I haven't even told him that I was planning to do this. And certainly, the majority of folks who write articles for Wikipedia have an interest in sharing the information on whatever the topic might be, or they wouldn't be so inclined to write an article in the first place, just as I plan to contribute here in to other articles that are in no way related to a client. And I did believe that my articles are factual and not subjective, or filled with hype, or advertisement-style rhetoric, and I will concentrate even more to prevent any such overtones. I believe that I can do a better job on the DIY Road Cases concept to keep it fit for Wikipedia, as it is a very well known and popular concept/product, so I will move forward regarding your mentioning (on your talk page) of raising the matter at deletion review, although after reading up on that it looks like I am supposed to try and resolve things with you instead of doing a formal deletion review? Any insight on that would be helpful, thanks. On the flip side, I do now understand the Deaf Symphony article being recommended for deletion, so I am not being a whiner like a lot of these folks who write silly "rebuttals" the pages of editors like yourself. I think that you can tell I have done some homework before I embarked on this, and now that I have seen the Wiki guidelines for musical artists, I have no gripe. Thank you for your time.

But you have discussed it with me and I have told you to go to DRV! So go ahead and raise a DRV request including links back to this thread and to User talk:RHaworth#DIY Road Cases. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 12:02, 31 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
