BGS Films
I deleted this article, because it looks like self-promotion, and I saw no indication that this film company comes close to meeting our standards for inclusion of companies. See WP:CORP for more info. Friday (talk) 20:29, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

Schoolcraft 20:33, 10 July 2006 (UTC)I wasnt completed with it yet,this is my first Wiki article and I saved to make sure I was doing it right. I was no where NEAR completion and it isnt self promotion. Check out the braxtanFILM page to see what I was aiming for. Jeez. Figure out whats happening before you delete.
 * Well, if you really feel it's a legit topic for an article, you can continue editing it. But, you never know, someone may nominate it for deletion or delete it again.  Your best bet is probably to recreate it only when there is sufficient into in there to show how this company meets our guidelines for inclusion in the above link.  Hope this helps.

Schoolcraft 20:37, 10 July 2006 (UTC)what the heck was helpful about it? you deleted my first Wiki topic that I wasnt even done with. when are you going to unprotect it so i can continue?
 * It's not really protected, it just says it is. Seriously though, unless you want to get more annoyed when someone comes along and nominates it for deletion, I would think twice before making an article on this topic.  I know you said it's not self-promotion, but when your username is the same as the name of the person who runs this company, it's going to look like self-promotion to everyone.  See WP:CORP for standards for inclusion of companies.  There's nothing even in there to support calling this a "film company"- the article makes it sound like some guy's website. If it's a website, it sure doesn't look popular- Alexa has no traffic ranking for it at all.  We do have articles about websites and film companies, but this doesn't mean that every company or website gets an article.  We often expect subjects of articles to be notable in some way.  Or, at a bare minimum, articles must be verifiable by reputable sources.  If reputable sources aren't talking about your film company, it's a good indicator that it can't have an encyclopedia article.  Friday (talk) 20:49, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
 * FYI, I put it back to your version, in case it was unclear to you how to continue editing. However if the article doesn't improve to demonstrate notability soon, I wouldn't be surprised if it gets deleted again.  Friday (talk) 21:03, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

Schoolcraft 22:26, 10 July 2006 (UTC)actually, im his cousin
 * It's probably best not to write about yourself or people that you know. See WP:AUTO for more info.  Someone else deleted this article too, which probably indicates it's not just me who thinks this is not encyclopedic content.  Friday (talk) 22:40, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
