Speedy deletion nomination of Dj Mixx


A tag has been placed on Dj Mixx 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 see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you.  ttonyb (talk) 05:05, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for your recent contributions. Getting started creating new articles on Wikipedia can be tricky, and you might like to try creating a draft version first, which you can then ask for feedback on if necessary, without the risk of speedy deletion. Do make sure you also read help available to you, including Your First Article and the Tutorial. You might also like to try the Article Wizard, which has an option to create a draft version. Thank you. Fæ (talk) 05:57, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:
 * 1) editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with;
 * 2) participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors; and
 * 3) linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).

Please familiarize yourself with relevant policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. Fæ (talk) 05:57, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

Guidance on notability
I'll come back with a specific reply to your request for feedback later today, in the meantime here's some advice that I prepared earlier for similar situations --

Hi DJMIXX305,

Wikipedia has its own guidance for notability that may not be the same as your intuitive sense of what is notable. Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia of general knowledge rather than an index of profiles of companies and people. Each article needs several independent reliable sources to show significant impact on the historical record. The guidance for organizations is given at WP:ORG and for biographies WP:BIO applies.

If the articles you are creating have reliable sources to support the criteria defined in that guidance then you may have a reason to keep the articles from being deleted which you are welcome to raise on the article talk page or on any linked deletion discussion. If you are associated with the organization, person or product the article is about then you must follow the conflict of interest guidelines and avoid editing the article yourself but you are free to suggest and discuss changes.

Rather than starting "live" articles, you can create a draft first which allows you to get your article properly sourced before risking speedy deletion - see Userspace draft and Userfication.

If you would like some independent help you can ask one of the noticeboards at WP:Requests or try chatting with other Wikipedians on.

Thanks, Fæ (talk) 06:32, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

Your recent edits
no problem, when you do get to it, please check the info on the main page, then (as i've been revising there, as well: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dj_Mixx). although im clear that a lot of layout work is necessary, i believe that the type of info required is getting there (notability wise). DJMIXX305 (talk) 06:41, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment. You could also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your username or IP address and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you. --SineBot (talk) 06:35, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of User:DJMIXX305/DjMixx


A tag has been placed on User:DJMIXX305/DjMixx, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article 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 encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add  on the top of User:DJMIXX305/DjMixx and leave a note on |the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from independent reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. JamesBWatson (talk) 13:25, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

Feedback
As JamesBWatson has now marked your draft for deletion, I'd better get on with that feedback as promised...

Here are the key issues:
 * You appear to be making an article about yourself or someone your are involved with. This is generally frowned on for articles and you would need to carefully think through how to comply with WP:COI before trying to create such an article without unambiguous high quality sources being quoted up front for all the material being added.
 * The tone of the article is leaning towards promotional and phrases such as "has been recognized on numerous occasions" or "a brand ambassador" are vague and not clearly sourced (you probably need explicitly to footnote the material).
 * Myspace, youtube, twitter are all controversial sources which cannot be used by themselves to support an article and preferably should be avoided altogether. See WP:SELFPUB and WP:FACEBOOK.
 * Such articles drafted in userspace still have to appear to be more than adverts in order to comply with User pages and as you can see, they are likely to get automatically flagged for attention and speedily deleted if they do not appear to have some reasonable expectation of becoming articles in the future. If you wish to pursue having a draft you must be able to present at least one quality independent source that demonstrates the factual nature of the draft article. Until this is the case I would agree with JamesBWatson's speedy deletion tag.

In the meantime you may want to prepare some text off-wiki while you search for better sources that have some claim to be independent. Thanks, Fæ (talk) 13:43, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

I agree. I will prepare the text off-site. When I think I may be finished, however, who can I send it to for approval? I can try to comply w/ the guidelines as much as possible, but I'd still like someone with whom to go back and forth, before posting. Lastly, since the main page (not the userspace), had been deleted, is there a way I can access that text, so as to be able to copy it into a word document? Or is it simply lost? I appreciate all your help with this Fae. I do want to get it right. Pardon my inexperience.DJMIXX305 (talk) 16:36, 31 January 2011 (UTC)
 * See my response to your query at User talk:JamesBWatson. JamesBWatson (talk) 16:45, 31 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Getting feedback from the last deleting admin is a very good idea as this would help in any possible later notability or deletion discussion. You may also want to add a note at Requests for feedback where various folks who enjoy helping others hang out to give tips for draft articles. Any time you are ready you can re-paste an updated draft in your userspace or use the process described at Articles for creation to create a new draft and have it automatically reviewed for suitability. Fæ (talk) 16:50, 31 January 2011 (UTC)


 * I see that, after two and a half months, you have not touched User:DJMIXX305/DjMixx. Userfication of a deleted article is a short term way of giving you an opportunity to improve it so that it can be re-released as an article. it is not a long term way of preserving material which would not be acceptable as an article. Since it was still promotional, which is not acceptable anywhere in Wikipedia, I have deleted it again. JamesBWatson (talk) 21:58, 15 April 2011 (UTC)
