Proposed deletion of Richard Kirshenbaum


The article Richard Kirshenbaum has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, all newly created biographies of living persons must have at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the prod blp tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can when you are ready to add one.  Dennis The Tiger  (Rawr and stuff) 18:38, 9 April 2012 (UTC)

April 2012
Hello M.FragosoNSGSwat. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Richard Kirshenbaum, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:


 * Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
 * Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
 * Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).
 * Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content 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. AllyD (talk) 19:21, 9 April 2012 (UTC)

Hello again. This is not an automated message this time. =)

As a note, I've gone ahead and put the article up in our conflict of interest noticeboard. It's nothing bad, necessarily, but the biggest issue we have when you create articles of a subject that you are so closely connected to (in this case, Mr. Kirshenbaum) - problems like the above template notes, as placed by AllyD, will inevitably come up.

Don't get me wrong, I recognize your efforts in this, and it looks like Mr. Kirshenbaum meets our general notability guidelines, and as such, I can't help but assume good faith on your part to work on his article. But to explain my mentality, with all this said, it is my staunch opinion that some extra eyes are required on this article in our efforts to give it a neutral point of view. That's pretty much it, in a nutshell. -- Dennis The Tiger  (Rawr and stuff) 19:47, 10 April 2012 (UTC)

Advice
Hi there. Have you read 'My first article'? If not then please do, that should certainly help. I've removed a lot of stuff from the article as when I checked the references I couldn't find what was supposedly sourced to it. Everything here should be cited to reliable sources so that readers (like me) can verify what is in the article. Use google news/factiva/highbeam - find good articles like "Richard Kirshenbaum: Talent scout" (1 December 1997, ARTnews), "Richard Kirshenbaum, 37" (25 January 1999, Crains NY Business) or "Branding a New World" (1 April 2005, Psychology Today). These should form the basis of what is in the article. For a vague idea of what you might want to achieve have a look at Richard Edelman which I wrote earlier this year. If you have questions, you may be best off asking at WP:COIN or WP:HELPDESK as I won't be able to help over the next few days. Most importantly - forget you know anything about him - only use information in the sources, and be neutral. Don't use anything like "committed to furthering diversity" or "all in addition" - it will be removed and you'll have wasted your time. Good luck! SmartSE (talk) 20:30, 11 April 2012 (UTC)
