Please do not add commercial links or links to your own private websites to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a vehicle for advertising or a mere collection of external links. You are, however, encouraged to add content instead of links to the encyclopedia. If you feel the link should be added to the article, then please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. See the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you. -- Rbellin|Talk 14:54, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

Greetings Rbellin:

Kritikos is an open-access academic journal with 100% free content wholly relevant to the Wikipedia entry where it is found. It is neither a commerical interest nor a personal site. Thanks for your query.

Notability of Nicholas Ruiz III

A tag has been placed on Nicholas Ruiz III, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article 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 Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is notable, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page (below the existing db tag) 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 confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Hatch68 17:26, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Speedy Template Removal

Please do not remove speedy deletion tags from articles, as you did with Nicholas Ruiz III. If you do not believe the article deserves to be deleted, then please do the following:

1. Place {{hangon}} on the page. Please do not remove any existing speedy deletion tag(s).
2. Make your case on the article's talk page.

Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the article. Thank you. Hatch68 18:39, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Hatch68-- Thank you for the reference. The article entry is neutral, and makes no claim as to the promotion of the work or its author, in any directional bias. Further, few articles with regard to authors of philosophy or theory assert notability of the kind you seem to purvey. Fame, infamy, celebrity--what are you getting at here? Internationally published scholarship is noteworthy, and forms the conceptual basis of many Wikipedia articles regarding philosophers, theorists and the like. Wikipedia is a comprehensive, educational and informational encyclopedic event dealing with always evolving branches of knowledge and human activity, thus other articles and their relative compositions are indeed relevant, as they are the criteria and example by which newer entries are relativized.

I moved this from the talk page of the article, since it will soon be deleted.

Wikipedia has well established policies for notability requirements. Your article did not meet those requirements. Not only did it not meet the notability requirements, the notability was not even ASSERTED in the article, so it was eligible for speedy deletion. "Internationally published scholarship" alone does not meet notability requirements. Please read all of the policies and gain an understanding of how Wikipedia works before you make such assertions.
