Addressing DGG's concerns[edit]

This page recently received a visit from user DGG, who raised many concerns and proceeded to erase much of the information on the page, tag it as advertisement and non neutral, without discussion or a request for input from the community or the primary editor. While some of his edits can be seen as constructive to the page, others seem to simply be made in a subjective and non-constructive manner of the information on the page. For example, DGG raises issues with peacock and advertisement type language, but offers no constructive suggestions or edits of his own those particular "peacock" words.

This page has been my first big WP project, so things may not be perfectly laid out and there may be issues, but it certainly does not merit deletion by WP standards. The non-profit infobox layout itself has a prompt for staff and slogan. I only listed the top 5 officers of the organization. The top 4 officers I felt met notability standards on their own and independent pages were created for them. DGG particularly took issue with the Nicole Sada and the Hector H. Lopez pages in terms of notability. However, Nicole Sada has served in public office independent of her work with the organization which is notable in and of itself. Hector H. Lopez has served under two mayoral administrations in a major American city independent of his work with the organization which is also notable in and of itself. We should edit and add more information to strengthen the articles, that was my goal when I labeled the articles as stubs, however to delete would be a drastic measure.

As the default primary editor, I will be the first to pitch in to make these pages stronger. In fact, my edits began precisely because of NPOV issues that I thought existed and I thought were addressed on the National Hispanic Institute page. Constructive editing should be welcome and encouraged, but to simply go in and take a knife to significant portions of these pages without discussion should be unacceptable.

Non Neutral POV[edit]

Seems biased, as if NHI wrote it themselves. -Chile 01:08, 18 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Agree. I have added a NPOV tag, along with Unreferenced and Trivia tags.-Samuel tan85 (talk) 01:33, 25 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What can be done to correct this?

I tried to address the NPOV tag issues and added detail, organization, and sources. Interested in your thoughts... --Fr222 (talk) 08:28, 8 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Criticism[edit]

Are there any public mentions and/or sources of this criticism?--ADSV (talk) 02:40, 15 April 2011 (UTC)ADSV[reply]

Seeing as there are no references under criticisms and the request to address the citation has not been responded to, I am moving to delete... --Fr222 (talk) 23:58, 5 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
