Speedy deletion nomination of Thomas DeMark


A tag has been placed on Thomas DeMark, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page 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 an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Business for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. VQuakr (talk) 03:47, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Thomas DeMark


A tag has been placed on Thomas DeMark requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, 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. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles – see the Article Wizard.

Thomas DeMark
The article is written is a way that sounds promotional rather than encyclopedic. It needs to be trimmed down and reliable secondary sources need to be added. Do you have any? (e.g. news articles, etc) ~dee  ( talk? ) 18:23, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Thomas DeMark


The article Thomas DeMark has been proposed for deletion because under Wikipedia policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners or ask at Help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the prod blp tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can when you are ready to add one.  T RANSPORTER M AN  ( TALK ) 18:35, 25 October 2010 (UTC)

If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:

Greetings! Thank your for your efforts on Thomas DeMark and your descriptive edit summaries, particularly here. If you are interested in continuing to improve this article, a great next step would be to turn the list of links at the bottom of the page into in-line citations, which will be a big step towards improving the readability of the article. At the same time, we can consider reducing the number of primary sources; the more useful links are to sources about the subject of the article, not by him. Again, welcome! Feel free to leave a message on my talk page if you have any questions. VQuakr (talk) 06:08, 4 November 2010 (UTC)

03:07, 26 December 2010 (UTC) Hi, I need help. I am not sure what else needs to be done to make this Wiki post clear the tags.

On Nov 4th, I met the requests: "ZGreetings! Thank your for your efforts on Thomas DeMark and your descriptive edit summaries, particularly here. If you are interested in continuing to improve this article, a great next step would be to turn the list of links at the bottom of the page into in-line citations, which will be a big step towards improving the readability of the article"

I thought that everything was good after that as the article appeared without any tags, but today I discovered that the tags have persisted. please let me know what else I need to do to clear tags. Thanks. Roderick

Thomas DeMark
First, I strongly suggest that you avoid posting personal information in a public setting; Wikipedia contains an email system that prevents public disclosure of your email address. Second, I nominated the article for deletion because I did not see secondary sources about this person that would meet the notability requirements at WP:GNG and WP:BIO. If you still disagree that the article should not have been deleted, you could open a discussion at WP:DRV. Please let me know if you have additional questions! VQuakr (talk) 18:49, 5 June 2011 (UTC)
