Loonatix Productions
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Loonatix Productions, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.loonatix.net/aboutus2k6.html. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 18:37, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Loonatix Productions
I have nominated Loonatix Productions, an article you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Articles for deletion/Loonatix Productions. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

I dont understand, I'm adding content to it. This is just as viable a top as http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhymesayers_Entertainment

I'm a fan of both Rhymesayers and Loonatix. To me (and others) both labels are equally important!

Welcome to Wikipedia. Please do not remove Articles for deletion notices from articles, or remove other people's comments in Articles for deletion debates. Otherwise, it may be difficult to create consensus. If you oppose the deletion of an article, please comment at the respective page instead. Corvus cornix talk  20:40, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

--- I appologize for deleting the AFD Notice, but this Website is VERY VERY confusing, I dont understand why my article keeps getting deleted! I'm including every single reference used and I'm not plagiarizing.


 * The biggest problem with your article is that you have not provided any reliable sources. Please read that link.  Most of your sources are to interviews, or things like myspace, which does not have peer review.  If you can find articles in major newspapers, or books which discuss the company, those would help your stand.   Corvus cornix  talk  21:05, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

But its obviously a valid company can that not be verified by checking the references? The Rift Magazine or Murder Dog magazine interviews are not good enough to meet those requirements?
 * Unfortunately, no. The Murder Dog interview is an interview, not a sourced article, and the Rift Magazine is only one source.  Multiple sources are needed.   Corvus cornix  talk  21:13, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

So WIKIPEDIA has a panel of people who judge and dictate whether something is "real" or not? Just because Loonatix doesnt have any press from a "major" newspaper you decide that it is NOT? The label has albums, reviews, a website, a webstore and thats not valid enough? I find this all to be quite ridiculous.
 * No "panel", just regular editors. No "dictate", just people who try to uphold policies and guidelines.  Have you read WP:RS yet?  I am trying to help you, but if you want to continue to complain without trying to meet Wikipedia halfway, then there's no point, is there?   Corvus cornix  talk  00:44, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

I apologize, I was frustrated that my contribution was being deleted. I'm not sure if there are any major newspaper articles or at least not that I've found yet. Are there any other routes to verify?

yes
there are, first though, learn to sign your comments, on the edit page screen its the button with the cursive handwriting on it. second, you need alot of good sources. --Jakezing (talk) 13:11, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

Signature? Got it. What are some examples of good sources? Weren't the ones I had listed "good sources"?

Thanks, --Dmerkman (talk) 15:33, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

Excuse me, "Inappropriate pages"? I can't help but feel a little offended by this. There are PLENTY of mroe "Inappropriate pages" than what I have created. I read the article suggested and have been talking with some others to find "good sources" and have not gotten a reply back yet. Please explain how this page is inappropriate. --Dmerkman (talk) 13:14, 30 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Recreating Loonatix multiple times after it has been deleted is inappropriate. It has now been deleted and salted by consensus so you will not be able to re-create it without taking it to Deletion Review. TravellingCari  14:39, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
