Shiny Diamonds
It looks like the main problem that The Shiny Diamonds controversy article has at this point is with WP:NOTABLE. I would suggest reading that guideline if you haven't already. I'm still fairly new to these sorts of procedures, but if you can cite some verifiable sources on this controversy, and mention them in the discussion, it should be enough to persuade an administrator to keep this article. I would add anything you can find on this. The more sources, the better. I can help add sources to the article if you know of any.

I was mainly interested in keeping the article because it appeared to involve a Wikipedia controversy. Deleting it could have given the appearance of trying to sweep it under the rug. I wanted to wait it out to see if more developed. It looks like that isn't enough of a reason to keep something around which doesn't demonstrate notability.

If you can find more media reports, that should be enough to show notability and keep the article in place. If the article gets deleted, and more stories come out later, you can request to have the article un-deleted (see WP:UNDEL). I am not completely familiar with that process, but I'll look into it if it comes up. Just let me know.

Good luck. Don't get discouraged if the article gets deleted and don't take anything that is said in the AfD process personally. It's not about you. - Justin (Authalic) 04:48, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

Little context in Image:Man masturbates.jpg
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Image:Man masturbates.jpg, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Image:Man masturbates.jpg is very short providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Image:Man masturbates.jpg, please affix the template to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Please note, this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion, it did not nominate Image:Man masturbates.jpg itself. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot. --Android Mouse Bot 2 23:19, 16 June 2007 (UTC)
