Untitled[edit]

Hey there

I am Marie-Christine Saglier and made this article last year after a lot of difficulties I met with MHMS himself and here. I have decided to do it again after its cancelation.Marie-Christine SAGLIER (talk) 07:00, 21 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Contested deletion[edit]

This page is not unambiguously promotional, because... (your reason here) --Marie-Christine SAGLIER (talk) 13:48, 21 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I have already created this page in 2015 and had difficulties and destroyed it for private reasons, the French version I have created too in 2015 is still here. There is no differences between the two versions except the language.

I have added old pdf of magazine articles in order to show that specialised magazines talked about MHMS.

I have been the author of the French Wikipedia about British actor Eric Porter since 2005. As he was already dead at the time, I had no difficulties except technical ones.

If you think that the complete list of Schreiber's doings is promotional, I can cut. Only tell me what I can leave.

I have erased all the work of MHMS so that it was not seen as "promotional". It remains on the French Wikipedia article about him because they didn't ask me not to be promotional. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Marie-Christine SAGLIER (talk • contribs) 14:15, 21 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Concerns[edit]

Pasted below is a summary of concerns left on the article creator's page during the page review process, which I hope can be addressed:

As it stands at present, this article, in my opinion, currently borders on not being sufficiently notable to retain in Wikipedia's mainspace. However, it seems to me that there are further sources in the public domain which could indeed support retention, providing you were willing to put the work in to tidy up and expand the article's contents. In addition, sources are essential to support biographic information. How do we know any of it is true unless readers are directed to independant sources for verification? You might now certain facts about him - so now it's up to you to prove it. The section which establishes his notability as the photographer who produced nude images of Madonna really does need expanding, please. This seems to be the crux of his notability. And the selected works all need their referencing enhancing, too, please. External links could also be enhanced, have their emboldening removed and spelling checked. Please also be aware that linking to possible copyright violations is not acceptable; I am a bit concerned about photographs of pages on flikr that have been linked to. These need checking and might be be better if fully cited as references. Even after this, there remains a possibility that this article could still be submitted for deletion on the grounds of non-notability, but if these issues can be addressed, it seems likely that it might be seen as noteworthy by other editors. Sorry if this sounds a little negative. Nick Moyes (talk) 01:20, 1 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
