Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Adrian Wu has been reverted. Your edit here to Adrian Wu was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (http://www.facebook.com/soimadrian) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page.

Speedy deletion nomination of Christopher Bates


A tag has been placed on Christopher Bates 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, you can place a request here. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 21:47, 14 July 2013 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Christopher Bates


The article Christopher Bates has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this newly created biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the prod blp tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can when you are ready to add one. SL93 (talk) 23:22, 14 July 2013 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Christopher Bates


A tag has been placed on Christopher Bates, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising that only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an acceptable page. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item G11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this page is not blatant advertising,. Clicking that button will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit |the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. You are welcome to edit the page to fix this problem, but please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. As well as removing promotional phrasing, it helps to add factual encyclopaedic information to the page, and add citations from independent reliable sources to ensure that the page will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Phil Bridger (talk) 14:36, 15 July 2013 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for August 1
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Christopher Bates, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Accessories (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Nomination of Shinan Govani for deletion
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Shinan Govani is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Articles for deletion/Shinan Govani until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Bearcat (talk) 16:50, 3 July 2018 (UTC)

update re: Bearcat
additional references have been included. thanks!

Shinan Govani
None of the new sources do anything at all toward getting him over WP:GNG. Bearcat (talk) 00:21, 5 July 2018 (UTC)
 * 1) House & Home: People become notable on the basis of coverage they received in the context of their work, not coverage they received in the context of "look at the lovely interior design of their house".
 * 2) The Globe and Mail: He is not the subject of that piece, but is merely being asked to give soundbite on subjects other than himself. He has to be the thing being talked about by other people, not the person doing the talking, for a source to assist in establishing his notability.
 * 3) Changing Toronto: Governing Urban Neoliberalism: Not about him, just mentions his name a single time while being about somebody else.
 * 4) BlogTO: Blogs are not reliable sources for Wikipedia content. It would be fine for supplementary verification of the fact that he published a novel after his notability had already been covered off by enough of the correct type of sourcing, but it is not a source whose existence counts toward the process of doing the covering off of his basic notability.

Thanks for your continued feedback and observation. Please see below:

a) the article in House & Home is one of the largest magazines in Canada, and while the first two questions they ask is about design, yes...the bulk of the article is about Shinan Govani, his novel at the time and my career. Please read the complete article before responding. Thank you.

b) similarly, the book excerpt we provided is meant less as a name-check THAN as confirmation that Shinan Govani was selected as one of 25 Most Influential People in Toronto, by Toronto Life magazine, along with Margaret Atwood, etc. The actual piece is not on-line, so we provided this as a notation.

Thanks very much!


 * "My" career? Clearly you need to read our conflict of interest rules — we're not a free public relations platform on which people are entitled to decide for themselves that they "deserve" an article, but an encyclopedia on which articles get earned by passing our notability and sourcing standards. And if that was an accident and you're not personally Shinan Govani but are editing on his behalf anyway, such as you're his publicity agent, then you still have a conflict of interest. Either way, neither the existence nor the content of the article are your prerogative to control — content on Wikipedia is written and sourced and kept or deleted based on our rules, not your own personal ones.
 * Also, being selected as "one of the 25 most influential people in Toronto" by a local interest magazine is not in and of itself a reason why a person qualifies for an encyclopedia article either. The things you/he did to earn that distinction might be, but they still have to be referenced properly — the fact of being named an "influential local person" by a local magazine is not, in and of itself, "inherently" notable enough to exempt the rest of the article from having to be properly sourced just because the "influential people" listicle exists.
