Proposed deletion of File:SaraNiemietz-Santa-Claus-Richard-Marx-Christmas-Spirit-Album2012.ogg


The file File:SaraNiemietz-Santa-Claus-Richard-Marx-Christmas-Spirit-Album2012.ogg has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern:
 * A non-free audio sample would be fine if it was being used in a stand-alone article about the song in question or was the subject of some sourced commentary which discuss this particular sample itself. The file, however, is merely being used for a single entry in a list article which is something generally not allowed per WP:NFLISTS. Using the sample in this way is equivalent to try to user album or single covert art to illustrate a discography. The fact that this is an audio file does not mean that such "decorative" use is allowed by WP:NFCCP.

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

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. -- Marchjuly (talk) 02:14, 30 May 2017 (UTC)

Response to WP:AN discussion
AN Comment


 * I was not trying to make it easier to do paid editing -- I was trying to prevent it from becoming even more difficult, and in turn making it more valuable.

What I came to discuss is the resolution of your PAID "problem" by suggesting the creation of a sister wiki for Org, Corp, Prod related articles. Instead of maintaining this ridiculous policing mess, and alienating users with COI accusations, why not create a host where these articles and editors are welcome? Editors could then clearly delineate between their volunteer edits and paid/coi edits by platform. As an incubator area, if and when the subject becomes notable enough for Wikipedia, the article could be moved via a request at AfC, or drafts denied, and pointing the editor to the more appropriate sister wiki.

There are several glaring reasons why this needs to be fixed...


 * 1) The Wikipedia has a stranglehold on access to the Knowledge base, ever since Google integrated (and closed) Freebase with WikiData.  The search engines use the (WikiData) Official url to disambiguate the many similarly named topics with the topic that has taken the extra steps to achieve search relevance.  Knowledge Graph Cards are still manually created by the search engines, but it is difficult to become discovered without the WikiData domain authority. This stranglehold, has very likely diminished innovation over the past decade.
 * 2) If you know anything at all about SEO, it makes no sense to "spam" the Wikipedia, all urls are marked nofollow on the Wikipedia. (Humor the CEO and PR rep with a place to publish and the problem is solved.)
 * 3) In the business world, there is a preference for the familiar Wiki style sectioned article when evaluating a company or product.
 * 4) One instance where notable organizations tend to not meet WP:N is publishers of magazines, journals and newspapers.  Nobody writes about their competition and specialty journals may not have any competition, yet they would be completely acceptable for WP:RS. Innovative products don't have a chance on the Wikipedia, because of all of the drama and notability inflation.

It should also be understood, that a COI editor who has the job of maintaining an article in the Wikipedia space, that they be treated like WP:SHEPHERD rather than pariahs. In these cases, the ability to maintain separate accounts is crucial. WP:WIKIHOUNDING

Finally, it might be of interest that the en.Wikipedia has no compliant Paid Editing policy after almost 5 years. "An alternative paid contribution policy will only supersede these requirements if it is approved by the relevant Project community and listed in the alternative disclosure policy page."Foundation TOU There has been no sustained RfC for the paid editing policy and what is disguised as policy does not conform to Foundation's TOU alternative disclosure policy page

I adhered to consensus about not editing in the article space, but then it became the draft space, then the user space, then being censured in discussing the policy space after so many years and concessions had been ceded -- to a policy that, to this day, still does not officially exist. Under the Foundation's rules in effect, disclosed editing in the article space is just fine.

I am not interested in contributing until Wikipedia becomes a friendlier and less obsessed place, it seems a sister wiki might be a step in the right direction. Thought I should share this idea. Later, 009o9Disclosure(Talk) 01:46, 10 May 2019 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Category:Cindy Valentine EPs


A tag has been placed on Category:Cindy Valentine EPs requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section C1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the category has been empty for seven days or more and is not a disambiguation category, a category redirect, a featured topics category, under discussion at Categories for discussion, or a project category that by its nature may become empty on occasion.

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 deleted 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. Liz Read!
