Longhouse Media
I've tidied the refs and headings. The article asserts notability, although it's maybe a bit borderline. It still reads as promotional, presenting aims as facts eg Longhouse Media provides youth (with?) the skills either needs a reference to prove that it has succeeded, or to be rephrased as Longhouse Media attempts to provide youth with the skills. There are other similar examples. We are told nothing factual about the organisation. How many staff? - where is it based? - what is its budget? It's all just about the wonderful work it does.

The article isn't really neutral; it only discusses the work of the organisation, not the organisation itself, it accepts the organisation's claims at face value, and presents aspirations as facts. Has nobody ever criticised this organisation? Are there no differences within the organisation? Are its clients always happy with the service. Does it never fail?

Thanks for letting me know about the rewrite, but it needs a bit more work yet.  Jimfbleak -  talk to me?  05:34, 16 April 2010 (UTC)


 * It's OK to use the company as a reference for purely factual info like staff numbers, budget etc. It's more contentious stuff like its notability and how successful it is which need independent sourcing. Although links to websites are good, they are not essential - see Barn Swallow which uses websites, books and journals, which often don't have on-line versions - the main thing is that the sources are reliable and could be checked if someone wanted to make the effort. A minor style thing, have a look at what


 * Are there really no concerns or criticism or shortcoming? It still reads like an insider's view to me, rather than being neutral. Didn't the two university studies find anything that could be improved?  Jimfbleak -  talk to me?  05:58, 17 April 2010 (UTC)

Hi Louie. Yesterday I asked Jim to take a look at the "Unreserved" article: I wanted a second opinion, Jim is way more experience at this than me and I saw that you've had some productive discussions with him re another article (which I haven't seen btw). Anyway, I've copied our messages re this request from our talk pages onto the talk page of the article and it would be best IMO if all communications re were henceforth kept there, so we know where we are and others can readily follow it. I'll be copying this message there, which is also where any replies, messages etc should be at too.

As you can see from both the history and messages Jim has restored the proposed deletion tag.

The fundamental problem is the notability of the subject of the article: the film. Sources such as MSNBC and the Seattle Times are indeed considered reliable but a mention in or by them does not in and of itself automatically confer notability. These two cited references do not appear to support claims that the production satisfies notability requirements.

The other issues, such as promotion and conflict of interest, still exist too. Removing the link to Van shoes does not alter the suspicion that the film is primarily a promotional piece for someone who has recently begun selling cutomized fashion sports shoes. Claims that the production is essentially an exploration of the changing face of American culture and society... seem somewhat disingenuous. As for the COI, the way clear to fixing that with the current circumstances just doesn't seem on. Somewhere, within the incidental issues and ideas raised, may possibly lie the germ of an article (though more probably an expansion of an existing one). The Portal:Indigenous peoples of North America would be one place to explore such possibilities to get involved. You write well and, with your evident enthusiasm for Native American?mixed heritage culture, your skills would be very welcome. Plutonium27 (talk) 20:30, 17 April 2010 (UTC)
