Concordian International School
I was reading through all of the rules about writing an article and I understand the COI part, but I have modeled the specs about CIS very similarly to International School of Bangkok, New International School of Bangkok and Shanghai American School. I have taken out any adjectives and adverbs that may have been giving and bias and now it is just points.

Is this okay, or are there other changes that need to occur? As I mentioned, I will be finding more history and present facts, should this be enough to keep it within Wikipedia?

Navini Networks
Hi - I am trying to learn more and become more of a contributor. I document WiMAX technology as it is my interest. There is a WiMAX article with a list of WiMAX operators. The operators also list the manufacturer of their equipment - each implying a different technological spin. In any case, most of the other manufacturers have pages as well as almost all of the operators...yet when I try to write a Navini Networks page - it gets nominated for speedy deletion.

I have made it very unbiased as I in no way represent Navini. I have went for factual and the last notice said there was nothing significant. However, I disagree, Navini recently sold to Cisco Systems and this was a major event to the WiMAX industry and the article on Navini represents a large piece of the WiMAX technological spectrum as their technology is different than other manufacturers.

I am fairly new to this and would like some advice on recommendations to make this article more acceptable.

Need Your Assistance To Repost Reid Supply Company With Corrections To Make It Compliant With Wikipedia
Kurt,

I am brand new with Wikipedia and was speedily deleted before I understood how to use it. I corrected the problem with the Reid Supply Company submission and am ready to resubmit. How do I re-submit the information?

I tagged the submission with the "hangon" tag, but must have accidentally overwrote the new submission.

Is there a place on Wikipedia where I can follow the step by step procedure to get the Reid Supply Company information posted.

Thank you.

Where can I post my revised Reid Supply Company submission for your review
Kurt,

I have totally re-written the Reid Supply Company submission. Where can I post it for your review to ensure I am following all of the proper procedures and guidelines?

Let me know.

Thank you.

Xoom Corporation
Hi, I'm not sure whether there should be an article on the Xoom Corporation, but I do know that the content shouldn't have replaced that at XOOM which is what had happened. I was just trying to fix the situation without losing any of the work done by other editors. I think that Xoom Corporation probably isn't notable enough and would be deleted as a result of an AfD, but I do think it should go through that process rather than being speedied, given the strange way in which the article came about. If you have a different view on this, I'd be interested in reading your opinion. --Sapphic (talk) 02:13, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

FYI
Please note this page where an editor has opened up a Deletion Review of an AfD debate you were involved in. Whilst such a request is clearly within their rights that editor has only contacted one or two of those who took part during the AfD process. It would in my view be more appropriate to include a notice to all persons (including yourself) that were interested in the first Article for Deletion debate, and I provide such a notice and link here. Best wishes -- VS talk 22:15, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Using speedy deletion templates
I notice that you've been tagging articles for speedy deletion as "pure vandalism". It's customary to use templates such as "db-bio" to get rid of articles written about non-notable people. The "pure vandalism" template should be reserved for more serious problems. See WP:BITE. And sometimes, you have to just use "prod", even though it's slower. Thanks. --John Nagle (talk) 05:19, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

Speedy Delete of Netjak
Kurt, I re-created the article in the belief that the previous AfD discussion was closed without enough discussion on the matter (see the AfD here), and apparently the article in question did not use any sources per WP:RS, WP:WEB or WP:N. At the time when you placed the Speedy Delete tag on the article, there weren't any references because of a glitch in my formatting at the time -- they have since been replaced onto the article. -- Nomader (Talk) 20:56, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

Lunarstudio
Excuse me, but under what grounds are you deleting this article on Lunarstudio? I am a certified member of the American Society of Architectural Illustrators. I have also done a lot of artwork for many famous publications. I don't see how my body of work is not notable. Do you have any experience or knowledge concerning the field of architectural rendering? I don't think so, therefore I do not think you (or anyone else lacking knowledge within this field) should be editing this.

Update: Kurt, I received your latest message about 'conflict of interest.' Just because something is 'discouraged' by Wikipedia, doesn't mean that this is (nor is required to be) enforced. It was written from an neutral standpoint without any grandiose proclamations attached to it.

UCI Shuttles
Hi I am contesting your suggestion to delete the UCI Shuttles page. This is a service provided for the 20,000 students of UC Irvine and it's faculty and is a great informational source for prospective students of the university. I have looked up other Universities shuttles pages on Wikipedia and they have very similar information regarding their shuttle services. This page is not to endorse a business since the shuttle is a free service and is by no means a directory. The page is question is purely informational facts. Please feel free to contact and explain to me what issues you have with the page and I will try to accommodate them. As of this point however I have read the terms of Wikipedia and do not see how this page is in violation. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Abeier (talk • contribs) 03:13, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

Timbral Listening
Hi I declined your proposal to speedily delete Timbral Listening: It has a lead, it has references, how can you seriously say that it doesn't have "sufficient context to identify the subject of the article", per WP:CSD? PROD it if you will, although I personally would give a new article with an under construction tag a couple of days. Cheers, Amalthea Talk 00:44, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

Your CSD#A1 tagging
You should only tag articles with A1 when there is not enough context to identify the subject of the article. If you can figure out what the article's subject is, you should not tag it for A1, but for PROD or another CSD criteria if applicable. Sure, it's slower, but it's policy.

The article describes the company, it does not promote anything. People have a right to know about this company and what it does. I do not need wikipedia to promote this company.

Why would i be blocked from Wikipedia editing? I have done nothing wrong. I am an experienced contributor to wikipedia who has created numerous articles and edits and I have not gone against policy. I simply made an article about a company with references. This is not my opinion but documented literature. Bmedick (talk) 03:46, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

Music Glue
"Keeping in mind that all articles must conform with our policy on verifiability to reliable sources, and that primary sources alone are not sufficient to establish notability, web-specific content[3] is deemed notable based on meeting any one of the following criteria.

The content itself has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the site itself. This criterion includes reliable published works in all forms, such as newspaper and magazine articles, books, television documentaries, websites, and published reports by consumer watchdog organizations.[4] except for the following: Media re-prints of press releases and advertising for the content or site.[5] Trivial coverage, such as (1) newspaper articles that simply report the Internet address, (2) newspaper articles that simply report the times at which such content is updated or made available, (3) a brief summary of the nature of the content or the publication of Internet addresses and site or (4) content descriptions in Internet directories or online stores."

I protest the speedy deletion of the Music Glue article. According to the above description, the website is significant. It was reported on by the popular New Zealand current affairs television show Campbell Live just yesterday. You can see it here: http://www.3news.co.nz/Video/CampbellLive/tabid/367/articleID/80773/cat/84/Default.aspx

It has also been reported on by this website: http://www.dmwmedia.com/tags/music-glue

As you can see in the above article, the hugely popular band Marillion has partnered with Music Glue, and is using their service to distribute their newly released album, Happiness is the Road.

I believe this is sufficient evidence to show that this web content article is significant and does not deserve speedy deletion.

I can't believe that you would delete my comment, and other people's also. It is obviously not a personal attack, and I spent time and effort researching and writing it and the original article. It seems you are just running away from the complaints. You should at least have the courtesy to replace my article.

Kurt
In reading the guidelines, one of them is "be welcoming". Deleting an article that has existed for three minutes, written in good faith by a BRAND NEW USER, is NOT welcoming.

I'd like to know what I need to do to adjust this article to make it stay. But instead of you saying what you object to, you just...say you will delete it.

WHY?

Please explain. I really think this is unfair, and while the guidelines say "don't take it personally..." I do, because...I am a person.

Thank you in advance for helping me to keep my article.

speedies
an article about a company that indicates the basis for tis notability is not usually considered to be entirely promotional in the sense of a speedy deletion; and the standard required to indicate some notability is much less than that needed to pass afd. Any bona fide reason why a good faith editor could consider something notable will do for passing speedy. As reviewing administrator, I think you';re going a little too fast, as can easily happen with automated tools. You may, in fact, be missing copyright violations--for something that looks a little iffy, it's wise to check the web site, both main page, and, if necessary, subpages. DGG (talk) 20:07, 1 January 2009 (UTC)


 * with reference to your reply on my user page, a bit of a misunderstanding I think--the meaning was that I was the administrator reviewing the deletions. The problem anyway, is not intrinsic to going too fast, but that going too fast one tends to make mistakes. Please review WP:CSD and WP:Deletion policy about the difference between speedy and CSD. Myself, I delete over 1000 articles a year without using automated tools. I know my limits. But the most serious part is that you were going too fast to check for what seemed to be obvious copyright violations, which are an excellent and necessary reason for speedy deletion. .

Oneirological Advertising
Several weeks ago, I wrote an article about oneirological advertising, which was deleted. Although the concept is fairly new and may sound far out, it is real and being developed. The concept has been documented on several blogs and is extensively discussed at its creator's website. Can anything be done to salvage the article (outside of removing all factually incorrect references)? Is the topic notable enough for Wikipedia entry yet?
