Speedy deletion nomination of Mike Stanley (Filmmaker)
Hello Filmlabshowcasepictures,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Mike Stanley (Filmmaker) for deletion, because it seems to be inappropriate for a variety of reasons.

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. St8fan (talk) 01:53, 1 September 2015 (UTC)

I am not trying to use this site for publicity. I have been a filmmaker for 30 years and my contribution to the world is important and is no different then any of the other filmmakers on this site. In the second article I submitted I supplied plenty of references to support this. Thank you.

Your article
The subject is not notable. If you can find references to support it, please do. But for now, please do not recreate it. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 20:51, 2 September 2015 (UTC)

Here are some important things to read about:
 * A simple notability guideline
 * Your first article
 * The plain and simple conflict of interest guide
 * Reliable sources

So, if you can find good sources, the article can exist at Wikipedia. You mentioned that other articles exist that are similar. Please say which? Either they have good sources, or good sources can be found, or they should be deleted.

Also, you have a conflict of interest. It appears that you wish to have an article about yourself for publicity. You are strongly discouraged from writing about yourself.

Are you interested in helping to build the encyclopedia without adding any content related to you or your organization? If so, please let me know and I can help you get started as a Wikipedia editor. Anna Frodesiak (talk) 20:56, 2 September 2015 (UTC)

 * Hi, Pebbledog. I like your username. :) Okay, the macombdaily.com article is a good reference. It discusses you in detail. The sourcenewspapers.com article is not because it doesn't. IMDB is not a good reference when it comes to establishing notability. It may list movies you have made, but that is it. All the other sources are not online, so we cannot see them. If you can find more sources like macombdaily, that would be great. Again, please read WP:42 and WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS.


 * Anyway, if you insist, you may create a draft via Articles for creation, as ask for it to be reviewed. But, with the sources you show above, I think the chances of approval are slim. Best, Anna Frodesiak (talk) 01:10, 3 September 2015 (UTC)

Here are three more sources. The other sources listed above that you could not see because they were not online you will now be able to see below at Newspaper archives. http://www.candgnews.com/news/local-movie-maker-scares-attention-macomb-county This Detroit Fox 2 News interview is on the Filmlab Showcase Pictures website.

Thank you.
 * Hi. This is interesting. Scans of newspapers at a wiki site. Hmmmmm. My apologies for saying you are not notable. You probably are. Please create the draft via Articles for creation, as ask for it to be reviewed. Others will decide if the scans can be used as refs. I think so, personally. I've also unblocked this account. I am not sure what happened. I blocked the former account, it was moved to this account, and this account was blocked. Anyway, you are free to edit using this account. Please consider helping build the encyclopedia and working on articles unrelated to you and your organization. That way we won't think you are just here to wrtie about yourself.
