Proposed deletion of David Bernard (meteorologist)


The article David Bernard (meteorologist) has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * This individual fails to meet the relevant notability guidelines. The "notability" of this individual was temporary. There is no "significant coverage" in regard to this individual. Self-promotion and publicity.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles 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 article 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. 141.164.248.213 (talk) 19:51, 13 December 2015 (UTC)

some problems
I note you uploaded the file File:Angela Hill honored by New Orleans City Council.png as your own work. If such is the case, and considering your other contributions, you are possibly in some manner a publicist for people related to New Orleans. If som you are likely to have conflict of interest, and should use the WP:AFC process to make articles. I've seen in your edit history that you have sometimes made articles there, but accepted them yourself--this defeats the purpose, which is to get input from other editors here. For advice about how to handle COI, please see our practical guide to conflict of interest, WP:Plain and simple conflict of interest guide, which best represents our current practice.

The  individuals are generally notable, but the articles sometimes contain judgements or evaluation not ascribed to a specific third party published source. This is not permitted in WP--see WP:OR for an explanation. This is especially true for the biographies of living people.--see WP:BLP. You cannot ascribe historical events during the tenure of a mayor to him unless a reliable source has done so, you cannot use terms such as well-know -- we need to know who says it. You cannot scite ina nonspecific manner a poll, or TV broadcasts; you need to cite in such a way that others can check your reference and see if the statement justifies it.

I work a lot on articles about academics, and I'm concerned about the article on Irwin Marcus. Most of the sources you used for that article are not acceptable here: you cannot use wikipedia as a source for a wikipedia article, and encyclopedias such as newworldencyclopedia are basically derived from WP. The same is true of much of the material in all-history.org. Please see WP:RS for a discussion of these problems. I'm particularly concerned at the moment with the article on Irwin Marcus. I need to remind you that WP does not publish CVs--we do not list all the publications of an individual--what we include for an academic is books they have written, and the most cited or most influential articles, and it is good to have some evidence that they are indeed the most cited or the most influential.

You should also be aware that we have usually had rather strict standards for broadcast journalist, especially specialized ones such as meteorologists. It is often hard to find good sources for such people, but in general they need to be of more than local importance.

I hate having to recommend articles for deletion--I'm here primarily to improve and to keep them. You've done good work in general, and I'm trying to help you focus your efforts. If you need any assistance, please ask me directly on   my user talk page. If you are engaged in a relevant discussion elsewhere in which I could help,  you're welcome to let me know about it.

TLS editor message
Hello: Were there particular edits to Trinity Law School that you had in mind? I see your message to the new user,, but nothing specific is mentioned and none of the edits were reverted. For the sake of giving a clear welcome to the new editor, I hope you will clarify. Thanks. – S. Rich (talk) 01:57, 21 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Look at these two policies, WP:CITE and WP:WHYCITE. I fixed several of the citations on Trinity Law School and noted where citations need to be added.  Feel free to ask me if you need additional help. Schwartzenberg (talk) 07:09, 21 February 2014 (UTC)
 * I raised the question because there were no fixes accomplished before you posted the user talk page message. Even so, the IP and new editors seem to be connected to TLS, thus the larger problem is COI. In any event, thanks for your improvements to the article. – S. Rich (talk) 07:15, 21 February 2014 (UTC)

Sheri Fink
Please stop edit warring at Sheri Fink and stop all attempts to add content that violates WP:BLP policy. Discuss any concerns you may have about the article in detail on the talk page, and bring forward impeccably reliable sources in support of any additions you wish to make. Thank you.  Cullen 328  Let's discuss it  04:59, 22 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Going forward, please discuss article content matters on the article's talk page rather than my talk page. That is the appropriate place to reach consensus and shape the content of the article. Thank you.  Cullen 328  Let's discuss it  06:35, 22 February 2014 (UTC)
 * I agree. I did try to have a conversation with the user on the talk page. They did not want to discuss it. I appreciate your help. Schwartzenberg (talk) 06:41, 22 February 2014 (UTC)

Welcome message after my edit to Lionhead Studios
Hello! I noticed your welcome message with mention that my edit does not conform to policy - could you please outline where I went awry? I simply added a header which had been removed by a previous anonymous edit (accidentally, I presume), so it would be good to know if (and why) this sort of thing is frowned upon. Thanks.

Dane Elkins sources
Hello, Schwartenberg. Thanks for taking the time to review my article on Dane Elkins. You commented that I needed to "Add citations (see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners) to secondary reliable sources that are entirely independent of the subject." Please identify the sources that I have cited that you consider NOT "entirely independent of the subject." Thank you. Bwisok (talk) 16:39, 10 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Hi, I will explain at Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Dane Elkins and help you understand. There are multiple issues with the article. Schwartzenberg (talk) 04:35, 12 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Hello again S, I believe I have resolved the notability issues you raised on Dane Elkins. HE IS RANKED #1 IN THE WORLD according to the standards bodies for outdoor racquetball in 2011 and 2013. Forgive the shouting. I removed the reference to two local newspaper articles, one of them the Los Angeles Times, because they were not sufficiently detailed. Perhaps you can work with me this time to facilitate publication.Bwisok (talk) 02:14, 3 April 2014 (UTC)

TierPoint
Thanks very mcuh for getting back to me offering to help get my article published, I really appreciate it. Please let me know when you have some time to discuss the best approach to take or how best to collaborate.

PatrickjayPatrickjay2 (talk) 23:48, 12 March 2014 (UTC)

First, thanks for taking the time to review my article on TierPoint, I know there's been quite a backlog of submitted articles. But I would appreciate your guidance on what I need to do to get this article approved. Regarding it being promotional, I carefully wrote the article without any promotional language whatsoever. It is purely factual and an accurate chronological profile of an emerging company in the IT industry. Regarding it not being notable, TierPoint serves 2,700 U.S. based businesses. The company was profiled in the March issue of Today Facility Manager national magazine, the February issue of Alaska Airlines global magazine and was mentioned in national media for providing website backup service for the New Orleans Saints during the Super Bowl. I did not include links to any of those articles in my references because I did not want to seem promotional. Also, there are dozens articles already in Wikipedia covering similar IT companies including Expedient, Fibernet, Internap, Level 3 Communications and Softlayer. I can provide many more examples if you wish. Not including TierPoint in Wikipedia seems inconsistent with Wikipedia current practices. I appreciate your time and look forward to your recommendations. Thanks! Patrickjay2Patrickjay2 (talk) 02:13, 12 March 2014 (UTC)

Disambiguation link notification for July 13
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Angela Hill, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Robert Flack. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
