Talk:Public Smog

I'm contesting the A7 tag placed on this page because as per Wikipedia's regulations, the A7 tag doesn't apply to "articles about their books, albums, software, or other creative works." As this is an article about an artistic work not "people, organizations, and individual animals", I don't understand the use of that tag.

While it may be "art" (a term so useless I'd like to strike it from the dictionary), I wouldn't call it a creative work. It's an organization making a political statement. If you can support notability per WP:ORG, then I'll remove the speedy, but right now this looks like a PR page for the organization. —ShadowRanger ^(talk|stalk) 17:44, 6 April 2010 (UTC)

Technically, WP:ORG requires secondary sources, but I'm not inclined to speedy as long as there is at least one sufficiently high profile secondary source. I've removed the speedy tag, though I've added a refimprove tag. —ShadowRanger ^(talk|stalk) 18:18, 6 April 2010 (UTC)

I'll keep looking for an additional source, but thanks for helping me improve the article. - (Truthseek77 (talk) 18:25, 6 April 2010 (UTC))

Hey, you did the work. Thanks for responding productively rather than whining about it. It's a real breath of fresh air. I swear, for every 100 speedy deletion nominations I make, I get 25 uncontested, 25 uncontested but immediately reposted without any fixes, 25 hangons that either make no changes after adding hangon, make specious arguments, or just whine about it on the talk page and 25 edit warriors that repeatedly try to remove the speedy deletion template despite clear reminders that this is prohibited. You'll notice that adds up to 100 out of 100. People like you that actually make improvements are a rounding error. Like I said, a breath of fresh air. :-) —ShadowRanger ^(talk|stalk) 18:34, 6 April 2010 (UTC)
