Yeah, you can, as long as it's verifiable. But don't overwrite the article. Just add the missing information. Thanks for participating in AFC Backlog Reduction Drive and have a nice day. -FlubecaTalk 14:43, 19 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Stacy's Music Row Report

edit

A tag has been placed on Stacy's Music Row Report, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant 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 general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add {{hangon}} on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Corvus cornix 18:11, 26 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Speedy me.  :) I saw it in Recent changes. Corvus cornix 18:46, 26 July 2007 (UTC)Reply
Heh. It helps vandal fighters and those of us who try to winnow the chaff out. Corvus cornix 18:51, 26 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

The "first responder" found "blatant advertising." This person doesn't know Stacy Harris. Please check his bio page attached to Stacy's Music Row Report. Then check the pages that show who Stacy's readers are- media, industry and fans. These entities don't spend time on "advertising."

Your instructions are too complicated, but we agree: Stacy's Music Row Report is a legitimate site. There's no blatant advertising for it, though it is an advertiser-supported site. 75.73.178.16 03:35, 16 September 2007 (UTC)Reply

That's right. I tried to follow the instructions and I don't get it either. Maybe they're trying to call Stacy a spammer.

Are they trying to say she spams her own site? This makes no sense and they certainly haven't provided any examples or documentation. 72.154.245.159 04:43, 15 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

We contest the tagging? How can you ask for donations and then deny us information about Stacy's Music Row Report? 65.1.219.30 02:10, 27 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

I'm not sure who you are talking to, but could you please take your discussion to their page. I have nothing to do with the article you are discussing. I was simply helping with the backlog and felt (at the time) that it deserved a place in wikipedia, the guidelines disagreed. Please do not reply to this on my talk page anymore. --Counterpart0 00:09, 30 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

Maybe you can get Stacy's Music Row Report to the proper Wikipedia entry page? You blame his fans for not being able to figure it out, but you don't help none.

He writes some good CD reviews. Very fair critic. I think Wikipedia will have an entry for Stacy or Stacy's Music Row Report soon. 170.190.40.78 (talk) 19:10, 22 March 2008 (UTC)Reply

in Wikipedia who all are deciding what to include and what not is not known. This article has been deleted. why not known? is the information provided insufficient? why don't your editors do some research on their own. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.92.240.10 (talk) 04:02, 26 April 2008 (UTC)Reply

Notability of Adam Sims

edit
 

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Adam Sims, by Nuttah68 (talk · contribs), another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Adam Sims seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Adam Sims, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself. --Android Mouse Bot 2 12:37, 5 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

WP:AFC Backlog Drive

edit
  WikiProject Articles for creation needs your help!
WikiProject Articles for creation has done a tremendous job in working at WP:AFC over the past 7½ months. Thank you all for your hard work and dedication! Together, we've made the submission process easier and more streamlined, developed tools to make the process go faster for reviewers, and cut the backlog down to a mere fraction of what it once was. Well done!

As you all are aware, however, our work is not quite yet done. The project still has 10 archive pages left to complete, which include over half a month's worth of submissions, many of which have not been completely reviewed. We need your help to finish looking over these neglected submissions so that we can finally remove the backlog notice from the page, and put an end to the more than two year old backlog that has been a thorn in our side for ages! Participants will receive an AFC Barnstar, so hurry up and help out while there's still work to be done! Make sure to sign in on the WikiProject's talk page so we know who is involved in what promises to be our final effort to complete this goal. Thank you for all your help!

AfC news

edit
 

Dear AfC participant,

  1. Msgj and Tnxman307 are organising the AfC challenge! It's a little competition to help improve some of the articles created through AfC and we are hoping that everyone will get involved. For level 1, you just need to bring a stub up to Start-class. Level 2 is improving a Start-class article to C-class. And so on. To get involved or for more information please see the competition page.
  2. Those of you who haven't reviewed an article recently might not have noticed the new process that was implemented this year. Reviewing articles is now more enjoyable than ever :) You might like to give it a try. All articles waiting for review are in Category:Pending Afc requests. (Please read the updated instructions.)
  3. Please consider adding {{AFC status}} to your userpage to keep track of the number of articles waiting for review. At the time of writing we are officially backlogged, so help is needed!
  4. There is currently a proposal to bring the Images for upload process under the umbrella of WikiProject Articles for creation. The rationale is that both processes are designed to allow unregistered users to take part more fully in Wikipedia, and partipants in each process can probably help each other.

If you no longer wish to receive messages from WikiProject Articles for creation, please remove your name from this list. Thank you.
