Concerns re: self-referencing
Hi Oscar.mascarenas, it appears that you may be writing about yourself, and in effect, promoting your own work. Perhaps you can supply objective reliable sources supporting the notability of Choreosonographies; even then, WP:COI would remain a concern. Thank you, 99.0.81.41 (talk) 14:04, 2 April 2011 (UTC)

Many thanks for your message. As you may gather from the text of the article, its main aim is not to promote my own work, but to disseminate a new practice that has no parallel so far (in its content and form); and thus is not simple to reference it directly to other practices within the realm of voice and dance composition. My aim is to continue adding reliable secondary sources (and thus footnoting) in the near future. Many of this secondary sources may refer to performances or to practice-based research, which, as you may know, is not necessarily published in written form. I will appreciate your advice on how to avoid appearing as self-promoting, particularly when the concept itself has been coined by me. One further clarification, the name of the concept, to my knowledge, was indeed developed by myself as a consequence of what the concept entails. Many thanks. Óscar Mascareñas.


 * Those are tricky waters. Even if the intent is not self-promotional, objectivity is usually compromised when writing about one's own work. In such a circumstance, the need for all content to be properly supported by objective sources (i.e. newspapers, publications, etc.) is all the more important. Wikipedia has no interest in disseminating new aesthetic creations, worthy and interesting as they may be; its purpose is to annotate topics whose notability is clearly established already. Without objective sources, the article would be subject to nomination for deletion. 99.0.81.41 (talk) 14:17, 2 April 2011 (UTC)

I understand your point, and I regret that open proposals, such as this one, which are process-based, and thus may take long to 'clearly establish' themselves (I must admit that such term is indeed tricky and hard to define), are not welcome. Please delete the entry if you consider it inappropriate or irrelevant.


 * Your understanding is appreciated. I could find very little coverage via Google search (other than mention at the university's website, which probably doesn't suffice to establish the term's notability) and truly hope the topic receives fuller attention, so that the subject will merit an article sooner rather than later. Only a registered account can nominate an article for deletion, so for the moment it will exist as is. Given your knowledge, one hopes you'll continue to contribute. To that end I'm adding the standard welcome template below:

Welcome!

Proposed deletion of Choreosonographies


The article Choreosonographies has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Non-Notable and promotional article created by author of neologism to support its dissemination. No independent sources found."

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages 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 page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
