Reliable sources
Please review Wikipedia reliable source and verifiability policies. In particular, please note that usenet, mailing lists, blogs, and online forums are not considered reliable sources and may not be used to cite material in Wikipedia articles. If a reliable third-party source cannot be found for a fact or quotation, then that fact or quotation may not be included in a Wikipedia article. Yworo (talk) 21:52, 6 April 2010 (UTC)


 * Excuse me, but I cannot watchlist every article. otherstuffexists is still not a valid argument. Are you somehow connected with the subject you are writing an article on? If so, you might want to review our conflict of interest policies. Yworo (talk) 23:00, 6 April 2010 (UTC)


 * Sorry, that article is not on my watchlist. Technically, you are correct; however due to the extreme notability of Linux, I am sure the USENET posts have been published in reliable sources (e.g. histories of Linux). In any case, the specific Wikipedia rules about the use of USENET can be found here. Due to Linus Torvald's notability, he falls into the exception described, while your poster does not.

 * The real question I have here is, is Harbour notable enough to deserve its own article? Our criteria is that it should have been covered by independent third-party sources, e.g. a news article, a book, etc. Linux is clearly notable and has been in the news and has dozens if not hundreds of books written about it. But my searches of Google news and Google books turns up nothing at all on Harbour. Typically in such a case, it would only merit inclusion in a list of implementations of xBase, in that article. Yworo (talk) 00:55, 7 April 2010 (UTC)


 * After looking at it further, it appears to me that the many articles duplicate programming syntax which should be spelled out in the xBase article, and not in multiple individual articles. Those implementations that are notable (i.e. have published books about them), might then detail any divergences from the standard base syntax. Those which are not notable by Wikipedia standards should just have a single line description in the xBase article with a link to the official website, where interested readers can find all they need on the subject. Wikipedia's purpose is not to provide any sort of detailed description of things which have not yet been described in third-party publications. It's an encyclopedia, which means it summarizes secondary, not primary, sources. There seem to be no secondary sources for Harbour. Of course, perhaps you know of some?

Proposed deletion of Extended Relationship Management


The article Extended Relationship Management has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Essentially a corporate WP:NEO of their business strategy. No sources, and none to be found in the usual places; does not now and likely will never meet WP:GNG.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. — Chromancer  talk/cont 23:53, 1 June 2011 (UTC)

re: your edits to Talk:List of Big Five Academy Award winners and nominees.
The list is completely sortable, and both The Silence of the Lambs and One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest are on the list. Please review the article before continuing to post on the talk page.

Also, please remember to sign your posts by typing four tildes ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment.  Sottolacqua  (talk) 15:15, 26 September 2011 (UTC)
