Speedy deletion nomination of Adam Fields


A tag has been placed on Adam Fields requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

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 "Click here to 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 removed 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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. Agtx (talk) 00:49, 6 May 2015 (UTC)


 * I've reconsidered the speedy deletion. However, if you're Adam Fields, you shouldn't be writing this article. See WP:COS for more details. Agtx (talk) 00:53, 6 May 2015 (UTC)

I am not Adam Fields. My name is Nick Everhart. I work for Adam Fields as an Assistant with him at Sony Pictures. I was shocked to see that he didn't have a Wikipedia page, and decided to start an account to add him.

Deletion
Hi, thanks for message. I deleted your article because
 * The article was a copyright violation of his YouTube page. Copyrighted text is not allowed in Wikipedia, as outlined in this policy. That applies even to pages created by you or your organisation, unless they state clearly and explicitly that the text is public domain. I see no such notification on that page. There are ways to donate copyrighted text to Wikipedia, as described here; please note that simply asserting on the talk page that you are the owner of the copyright, or you have permission to use the text, isn't sufficient. But in any case the copyrighted text is far too promotional to be useful for Wikipedia's purposes, so there would not be any point in your jumping through all the hoops that are required.
 * it did not provide adequate independent verifiable sources to enable us to verify the facts and show that it meets the notability guidelines. It is now Wikipedia policy that biographical articles about living people must have independent verifiable references, or they will be deleted. although you gave one reference, it was not in-line so we don't know what facts it was intended to support.
 * it was written in a promotional tone. Articles must be neutral and encyclopaedic. It's all a mish-mash of unsourced opinions, mind-reading and spam, but some examples from just one paragraph of unsourced claims presented as fact include: Frustrated by the limited ways in which films were marketed, Fields was inspired to create the enormously successful company... Grabbing a captive audience of prime movie-going demographics, the consumers were entertained with the latest and greatest clips from Hollywood and the studios had a new outlet to promote their upcoming product... &mdash; it's a press release, not an encyclopaedia entry
 * You have an obvious conflict of interest when it comes to editing articles about this subject. If, after reading the information about notability linked above, you still believe that your boss is notable enough for a Wikipedia article (and that there is significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources), you could, if you wish, post a request at Requested articles for the article to be created. See also Best practices for editors with conflicts of interest.

This account has been blocked indefinitely from editing Wikipedia because the username, Adamafields, matches the name of a well-known, living person.

If you are the person represented by this username, please note that the practice of blocking such usernames is to protect you from being impersonated, not to discourage you from editing Wikipedia. You are welcome to continue to edit under this username, but we ask the following:
 * Please be willing and able to prove your identity to Wikipedia.
 * Please send an e-mail to info-en[[Image:At sign.svg|15px|@]]wikimedia.org. Be aware that the volunteer response team that handles e-mail is indeed operated entirely by volunteers, and the reply may not be immediate.

If you are not the person represented by this username, you are welcome to choose a new username (see below).''' A username should not be promotional, related to a "real-world" group or organization, misleading, offensive, or disruptive. Also, usernames may not end in the word "bot" unless the account is an approved bot account. You are encouraged to choose a new account name that meets our policy guidelines and create the account yourself. Alternatively, if you have already made edits and you wish to keep your existing contributions under a new name, then you may request a change in username by:
 * Adding on your user talk page. You should be able to do this even though you are blocked, as you can usually still edit your own talk page. If not, you may wish to contact the blocking administrator by clicking on "E-mail this user" on their talk page.
 * At an administrator's discretion, you may be unblocked for 24 hours to file a request.
 * Please note that you may only request a name that is not already in use, so please check here for a listing of already taken names. The account is created upon acceptance, thus do not try to create the new account before making the request for a name change. For more information, please see Changing username.

If you think that you were blocked in error, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first. Excirial ( Contact me, Contribs ) 20:11, 6 May 2015 (UTC)
