Proposed deletion of Scott Weinberg


The article Scott Weinberg has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Subject of this largely self-prepared article appears to fail the notability requirements of WP:BIO, in particular the lack of significant and reliable 3d party coverage.

While all 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.

June 2012
Hello, Sweinberg123. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about on Wikipedia, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:


 * Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
 * Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
 * Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam).
 * Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. JohnInDC (talk) 11:21, 20 June 2012 (UTC)

The Scott Weinberg article
Thanks, Scott, for your improvements to the article. The third party citations are helpful (and I'll remove that template). That being said it's still not altogether clear to me that your career meets the notability requirements of the encyclopedia. See WP:GNG for a general sense of what I'm talking about. The gist is, generally there needs to be more than your name in articles. Also, notability is specific to the subject - just being associated with something that is notable is generally not enough; so being the attorney for a notorious person or having been involved in a notorious case is not by itself enough either. What would help would be more (and bigger) articles like this one - http://www.macombdaily.com/article/20100613/NEWS/306139989/former-prosecutor-weinberg-hosts-own-radio-show - where you are the subject of the article. The radio show history is helpful too, but there too mostly to the extent that it generates sources that talk about Scott Weinberg qua Scott Weinberg. I hope this is helpful.
