Speedy deletion nomination of Jim Grueneich

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 Jim Grueneich 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 real person or group of people, but it does not credibly 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 read more about 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 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, then please contact the deleting administrator.  Velella  ^{Velella Talk}   19:32, 13 May 2017 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: Angelo Pergolito

Hello Chetsford, and thanks for patrolling new pages! I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Angelo Pergolito, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: fouding a likely notable label indicates significance. If you are interested in learning more about how speedy deletion works, I have compiled a list of helpful pages at User:SoWhy/SDA. You can of course also contact me if you have questions. Thank you.

May 2017

Hello Chetsford. Thanks for patrolling new pages – it's a very important task! I'm just letting you know, however, that there is consensus that we shouldn't tag pages as lacking context (CSD A1) and/or content (CSD A3) moments after they are created, as you did at Louis "Lou B" Branchinelli. It's usually best to wait at least 10–15 minutes for more content to be added if the page is very short, and the articles should not be marked as patrolled. Tagging such pages in a very short space of time may drive away well-meaning contributors, which is not good for Wikipedia. Attack pages (G10), blatant nonsense (G1), copyright violations (G12) and pure vandalism/blatant hoaxes (G3) should of course still be tagged and deleted immediately. Thanks.

Arthur Rubinfeld

Hello,

Can you please let me know how we are not being neutral? We provided facts and links for every change to the Arthur Rubinfeld page. I am happy to make adjustments to meet requirements, but the page is incomplete as it is. Thank you! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wfulton (talk • contribs) 20:18, 5 June 2017 (UTC)

Wfulton - Content such as this -

• Rubinfeld is well known for his leading-edge, visionary work

- while possibly appropriate for a press release or an infomercial, is not appropriate for an encyclopedia article.

Also, external links in the body of the article violate WP:EXT.

However, I might misunderstand. Can you clarify what you mean by "we?" Wikipedia does not permit shared accounts - see: WP:NOSHARING. Chetsford (talk) 20:25, 5 June 2017 (UTC)

Ok, I can adjust the text. By "we" I meant the writer of the content and myself. They do not know how to make edits on Wikipedia so I am making the edits. But there is inaccurate information that could be damaging such as the acreditation in Architecture. Arthur is not maintaining this accreditation, so we can't keep that on the page no matter what. Thanks for the prompt feedback.

Wfulton - thanks very much. If the accreditation does not have a source it should definitely be removed. However, may I ask how you know Rubinfeld is not maintaining his accreditation? Chetsford (talk) 20:33, 5 June 2017 (UTC)

Chetsford - I know Arthur personally. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wfulton (talk • contribs) 20:49, 5 June 2017 (UTC)

Wfulton - per WP's policies on conflict of interest, specifically WP:EXTERNALREL, you should not be directly editing Rubinfeld's page, particularly as I assume the "writer of the content ... [who does] not know how to make edits on Wikipedia" is most likely Rubinfeld himself. Chetsford (talk) 20:52, 5 June 2017 (UTC)

Chetsford - how do you actually get any content on this site. I am baffled about how knowing a person could create a conflict of interest. The writer is not Arthur Rubinfeld. But if you want, I am happy to have a third party do this, where this is no conflict of interest. I don't see how it would make much of a difference about who posts it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wfulton (talk • contribs) 22:31, 5 June 2017 (UTC)

• Wfulton, we get content on this site by writing, basically, summaries of what reliable sources tell us. That's really all there is to it. That you appear to have a COI was, I am guessing, surmised by the tone and content of what you put up here. Drmies (talk) 00:40, 6 June 2017 (UTC)

Drmies, If you have a page about a person that is clearly inaccurate, how does one go about getting the information corrected? It can't be entirely consensus based or else you would have nothing on the site to begin with. If some of the content is objectionable, I am happy to adjust the tone and content, but to roll everything back loses some key information about this individual. I really do want this to be a constructive experience, please tell me what to do to make it so. Wfulton (talk) 02:31, 6 June 2017 (UTC)

Wfulton - it's no problem, just that WP's policies regarding WP:EXTERNALREL generally exclude editing the pages of people with whom you have a personal relationship; according to your statement above you "know Arthur personally." While you may not be able to directly edit Rubinfeld's page, you can post suggestions - or even the full text - of the changes you'd like made on the article's Talk page. Another editor can then incorporate those changes into the article. Just remember, though, that everything in a WP:BLP has to be supported by WP:RS which, invariably, means documentary sources. Personal knowledge is usually not sufficient in an all-but anonymous Wiki, otherwise I could claim to be Barbara Sinatra and start editing Frank's article with declarations of my personal knowledge that he was secretly a Vietnamese woman who wore a disguise his entire life. Chetsford (talk) 05:21, 6 June 2017 (UTC)

• If there is incorrect information, you go in and correct it. But you can't tell me that this was "correcting" inaccurate information--it was simply adding material to a resume. And adding this, "Rubinfeld is well known for his leading-edge, visionary work in the areas of retail design and architecture", well. Drmies (talk) 11:47, 6 June 2017 (UTC)

Drmies and Chetsford, thank you for the feedback. Wfulton (talk) 17:02, 6 June 2017 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Caribbean Journal of International Relations & Diplomacy

The article Caribbean Journal of International Relations & Diplomacy has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non-notable journal. Not indexed in any selective databases, no independent sources. Does not meet WP:NJournals or WP:GNG.

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}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page 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.

DYK for Yale University endowment

On 25 July 2017, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Yale University endowment, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that the legality of a 2016 plan to tax the Yale University endowment was questioned, in part due to a 1745 act of the Colony of Connecticut which granted the school tax-exempt status?

You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, Yale University endowment), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.
