User talk:Unleaded Software

Re: Dr Jeffrey Raval
Many thanks for your query regarding this article. I would suggest reading Spam, as this page covers the basics. In particular, articles which are written in the first person (singular or plural) tend to read like adverts (for example "we do this..." or "our company does that..."). In addition to that, sentences which state how great or amazing a person or product is will read like advertising copy. Wikipedia strives to maintain a neutral point of view; articles should therefore be written factually so that the reader can make his or her mind up about the virtue of the subject of the article.

To back up any assertions made in an article, good inline references should be supplied; these should be from sources other than the subject's own website, or entries in social networking sites such as MySpace or Facebook. Good references will also help to establish notability, another problem encountered when writing biographical articles.

I hope this is of some help in rewriting your article. Please let me know if I have been of some use, and if I could be of any more use. Good luck and happy editing. Gilo1969 (talk) 00:40, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

"hangon" tag
One part of this is easy. The hangon template places any page it is added to on the Category: Candidates for Speedy Deletion. So if your talk page had that hangon tag, it showed up in that deletion queue, even though no deletion tag was placed on it.

the second part is that I removed what appeared to be an article on your talk page. It wasn't "deleted", you may go into the page history to get it. If you feel that the subject is notable and you need time to improve it (add sources, change it so that it doesn't appear to be promotional), then you can create a sub-page like User:Unleaded Software/Jeffrey Raval and work on it there. There is no rule that says you can't work on it in your talk page, but it may be confusing to other users.

I notice the article was already deleted as advertising. If you need a copy of an old revision to work on yourself, then you can leave me another message and I will create one for you. Alternately, you can leave a message here as I will be watchlisting this page. Do you have any other questions? Protonk (talk) 21:58, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

Sources from Talk:Dr. Jeffrey Raval
I would like to defend the posting Dr. Jeffrey Raval that was marked for immediate deletion. I would like to edit the article to include verifiable citation and I would like to delete anything that could be considered "blatant advertising," including the link to Dr. Raval's website. Dr. Raval is truly a pioneer in the aesthetic industry. Please advise me on how I can change the information so it can be reposted and the speedy deletion tag removed. A few citation examples are listed below.

Speedy deletion of Dr. Jeffrey Raval
A tag has been placed on Dr. Jeffrey Raval 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.

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), 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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. ╟─ Treasury Tag ► contribs ─╢ 21:23, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

Re: deletion
Hiya, welcome to Wikipedia! Basically, you have to list sources according to the instructions here, and specifically, demonstrate that the person in question (which mustn't be you!) is notable. To be honest, I don't think that your Dr is notable, and I'd give that one up. Just some friendly advice :-) ╟─ Treasury Tag ► contribs ─╢ 21:43, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
