Speedy deletion nomination of Dumas de Demain, The French Literary Magazine


A tag has been placed on Dumas de Demain, The French Literary Magazine, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
 * It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Business for more information.
 * It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. (See section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

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 "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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. &#124; Naypta✉ opened his mouth at 17:16, 28 March 2016 (UTC)

Before adding a category to an article, as you did to Cyril Neville, please make sure that the subject of the article really belongs in the category that you specified according to Wikipedia's categorization guidelines. The category being added must already exist, and must be supported by the article's verifiable content. Categories may be removed if they are deemed incorrect for the subject matter. Thank you.

 * Thank you for your note, NOLA1982. Unless IMDb is not a reliable source, Cyril Neville does belong in the category that I assigned: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0627431/ Patsy campbell (talk) 02:30, 3 November 2022 (UTC)
 * Well ... WP does not consider IMDb a reliable source; please see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Perennial_sources#IMDb . But the other issue is that there is no text within the article right now (referenced or not) that states that Neville is a film composer. Please feel free to add appropriate text, cite a reliable source, and then re-add the category. Thanks. NOLA1982 (talk) 02:47, 3 November 2022 (UTC)
 * The WP link you reference states: The use of IMDb as an external link is generally considered appropriate (see WP:IMDB-EL).
 * Is this incorrect? Patsy campbell (talk) 02:58, 3 November 2022 (UTC)
 * An external link is different than a citation. I have added IMDb many times as an External link, FYI. To state within an article that X person wrote Y film score, best practice is to add a citation to that statement. After that has been done, it's OK to add that category that you tried to add to the Neville article. I hope this helps; if it does not, you might try asking at the Teahouse.
