Speedy deletion nomination of Richard Pite


A tag has been placed on Richard Pite requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This article or image appears to be a direct copy from https://www.linkedin.com/in/richardpite. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Speedy deletion nomination of Richard Pite
Hello Natalie.S.Hunt,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Richard Pite for deletion, because it seems to be promotional, rather than an encyclopedia article.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Vvvaggot (talk) 13:53, 29 April 2015 (UTC)

 * Ms Hunt, apparently you did not see my response to your question on Reddogsix's talk page: you must add reliable sources in order to remove the BLP PROD from Richard Pite. The sources you've added are to Pite's own companies' / bands' websites, or to the website of Pete Long, which does relate to Pite (or even mention his name). Give us reliable sources, and the proposed deletion can be removed. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 11:03, 4 May 2015 (UTC)

Dear Dan, I did read that, and I told you I added all the press section, here are a handful of the links: http://www.bluesmatters.com/blog/festival-people-richard-pite-serving-up-the-boisdale-blues-festival/, http://www.londonjazznews.com/2015/05/interviewpreview-jeremy-sassoon-9th-may.html, http://www.newportjazzweekend.co.uk/richard_pite.php, http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/music/worldfolkandjazz/10887269/Swinging-times-celebrating-big-band-music.html. As mentioned with these links earlier this morning, I can supply youtube interviews as well from our youtube page with Richard being interviewed and acting as guest expert for several notable BBC journalists.

Hello, I'm WikiDan61. I noticed that you removed a Biographies of Living Persons PROD, from Richard Pite, and I wanted to let you know that I have replaced it. Please don't remove these Biographies of Living Persons PRODs from articles unless they contain at least one reliable source or were created before 18 March 2010. If you oppose the deletion of an article under this process, please consider adding reliable sources to the article or commenting at the respective talk page. Thank you.

 * Ms Hunt: I have removed the BLP PROD from the Richard Pite article. I did not see your embedded external links as actual references (they should be formatted as references instead of links). I still don't think the coverage is sufficient to meet Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, but I think they are sufficient to avoid a proposed deletion. The matter will probably end up at Articles for Deletion. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 12:30, 4 May 2015 (UTC)

Hi Dan, thank you for your reply. What further changes do you recommend? As you can see from the last 4 days, every time you give advice I have followed it. What further changes would you like to see? Kind regards, Natalie
 * The article has multiple issues that need to be addressed, but before any of that happens, I think you need to provide better evidence that Richard Pite meets the criteria for inclusion. I don't think you've hit this milestone yet. Pite would need to have been the subject of multiple instances of significant coverage in independent media. The sources you've provided are all problematic for the following reasons:
 * www.jazzrep.co.uk
 * This is Pite's own company, so not independent.
 * www.partyjazz.co.uk
 * This is Pite's own company, so not independent.
 * www.plong.co.uk
 * This site doesn't mention Pite at all, at least not on the home page.
 * www.bluesmatters.com/blog/festival-people-richard-pite-serving-up-the-boisdale-blues-festival/
 * This is not significant coverage because BluesMatters.com appears to be one blues fan's blog, so not a reliable source.
 * www.londonjazznews.com/2015/05/interviewpreview-jeremy-sassoon-9th-may.html
 * This appears to be Pite's own blog, where he is interviewing someone else. Not significant coverage about Pite.
 * www.newportjazzweekend.co.uk/richard_pite.php
 * This appears to be Pite's bio at the website of an event he appeared at. Presumably, written by Pite himself or his manager. Not independent.
 * www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/music/worldfolkandjazz/10887269/Swinging-times-celebrating-big-band-music.html
 * This article in The Telegraph barely mentions Pite in passing as the drummer in a band at an event that was being reviewed. Not significant.
 * If Pite has won a major national-level UK music award, or had an album chart on a major UK music chart, or been profiled by an major newspaper or music magazine, then you'll have the basis of an article. If you can address this issue, I'll be glad to help you with the formatting and style issues that need to be addressed as well, but it's hardly worth the effort to improve an article that I don't believe will be around for that long.

Thank you for all your help, that's great! I've added some more coverage links and put in brackets what they relate to. Is this better? One link is to all of his broadcast media work. This is where I'm stuck:
 * Most major review sites in our industry are run by people with very little tech knowledge and are set up via blog pages, so please see blogs as critics not fans - they are vicious!
 * Richard isn't an artist with management and record deals releasing new music and trying to top the charts. He is significant because he is a very talented Vintage and Classic Jazz drummer and because of his Jazz Repertory Company with which he has single handedly researched, re-created, preserved and saved on record exactly how key early jazz concerts and music pieces were played (musician techniques) and musically arranged.  For this he works very closely with the National Jazz Archive and does a lot of preservation and charity work for them.
 * Without all of his work many great pieces and historic moments would have been lost to us.
 * He specialises in Vintage and Classic Jazz, so though he has released many albums, these are not chart or award submissions because they're not new music.
 * The Telegraph piece is all about a concert he researched, wrote, directed and produced. He's credited here because he was also the drummer.  It's about The Jazz Repertory Company, which is the only company in the world researching, re-creating and preserving these historic moments for all time.

What else can I do to save the page apart from the additional sources? The broadcast link with the BBC I think is important?

Thank you again, Natalie

Dan I think you fixed the formatting! Thank you so much. And I've even managed to copy one to add an Evening Standard link in the same format as the other citations. Thank you for all your help with this! Natalie
 * No, that was mostly . You can always check the page history to see who did what on the page. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 14:58, 5 May 2015 (UTC)
