Speedy deletion nomination of Iris distribution
A tag has been placed on Iris distribution requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. De728631 (talk) 20:03, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

Iris distribution
Just a friendly note on Iris distribution. On the article talk page you indicated you're working on addressing the issues with the article. Rather than deleting it, I've taken the liberty of moving it to a subpage of your user page, at User:Eyeandrea/Iris distribution. This will give you more, but not unlimited, time to work on it. When you think it's ready, place a helpme tag here on your talk page and ask an experienced editor to look it over.

Notability (organizations and companies) and Writing better articles are good pages to read for ideas on what the article needs. Hope that helps! -- Fabrictramp |  talk to me  15:18, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

Help request
Will an experienced editor read over my page to help me improve it? (User:Eyeandrea/Iris distribution)


 * You cannot use Wikipedia as a reference (because it is a 'tertiary source'; the press release is a primary source, and the myspace thing looks like one too - hence it fails to pass the general notability guideline. See also WP:RS and WP:PRIMARY.


 * More importantly, perhaps, if you are involved in the organization you have a conflict of interest, and thus should not create the article - see WP:BFAQ.


 * Apart from that, it reads like an advert; for example "to offer a competitive solution for independent labels seeking distribution" - this is not encyclopaedic, not factual, not neutral.


 * The 'further reading' section is inappropriate, it's just a collection of external links


 * I suggest that you work on other articles; if you're hoping to use Wikipedia to promote the organization, then you will not have a very happy time of things; if you want to help us build Wikipedia, then great - dive in. Best of luck,   Chzz  ►  22:42, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
