Proposed deletion of Dhar Mann


The article Dhar Mann 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. Sitush (talk) 03:17, 29 March 2011 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Dhar Mann


The article Dhar Mann has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Non-notable, although his business is ok (and has a separate article)

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. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Sitush (talk) 03:20, 29 March 2011 (UTC)

Notability
Re: your edit summary request, read the contents of the welcome message at the top of this page. Pay particular attention to notability, reliable sources and conflict of interest. In particular, note that a person does not "inherit" notability from someone or something else; and that press releases and tangential comments etc will not assist in asserting notability. In fact, this is why the guy you are concerned about is not notable. I've already done the searches but feel free to prove your point. I'm happy to assist you with formatting citations etc - just throw the stuff at me and I'll show you how. - Sitush (talk) 04:32, 29 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Got your note. You can reply to everything here as I'm watching your page (don't get paranoid about this!). The CNN thing you mention is "rich media" and unlikely to be permitted. I doubt that it adds much anyway but, as I am profoundly deaf, I have no way of telling. Equally, a magazine cover is not useful as a source, although the story contained in the magazine may be. Huffington Post is ok as far as I know. The Examiner reference you used is blocked by wikipedia - unreliable to the umpteenth degree, I presume (I believe the the NY Post has a similar problem).


 * Suggest for starters you copy/paste here the link to the Huffington story & I'll take a look at it. If it is ok then I'll show you how to format it correctly for use in the article. I know all this must seem daunting but stick with it: I guarantee you it really does all fall into place pretty quickly & you'll surprise yourself about how soon you move from being a total newbie to someone who can find their way around at least adequately. - Sitush (talk) 05:22, 29 March 2011 (UTC)


 * I hope I'm typing this in the right place :) This is the link to the article on the huffington post. Also, he wasnt just on the cover of the magazine they did a pretty extensive article as well. The worldwide coverage of this guy is/was pretty intense so I figured there was ample reasons for adding him to wikipedia.


 * Hi, I've just moved your comment so that it is below mine & also added some colons so that it indents (each colon = 1 indent, so yours has 2 colons & this reply has 3). Also, when you finish a message you should sign it so that people know who you are etc. You can do this by typing 4 tilde characters (~) at the end of your message. They will automatically add your name + a timestamp.


 * You did not actually paste a link in with your message - wanna try again? Stick FOUR colons in below this message, paste the link & add 4 tildes. You'll get the hang of it. - Sitush (talk) 17:13, 29 March 2011 (UTC)


 * Sorry this is all so technical for me. Im probably placing this in the wrong spot. Anyhow, is there a way I can email you with my help requests?


 * Sorry, no can do. It is one of the principles of WP that we keep things open as much as possible. Although people do email for various reasons, the ethos is that those situations should be extraordinary. While your "technical" problem is unusual in my experience of assisting newbies, I'm not prepared to go any further than I already am doing - you'll have to meet me at least part of the way otherwise you will never learn. Unfortunately, if you cannot learn anything then the article is likely to be deleted as we have already discussed, so I suggest you try again.


 * I do not understand your difficulty with pasting a link into this page, even if you put it in the wrong place. What program do you use to view webpages? - Sitush (talk) 19:23, 29 March 2011 (UTC)


 * http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/02/25/wegrow-wal-mart-of-weed-sacramento_n_828566.html - This is the link ive posted while writing the article. Does it not work? Can you view it? Is this suitable?

You forgot to sign your post  Glad you worked out how to post it but no, it is not suitable. It doesn't mention the guy and is an article about the company. This is my point: the guy is not notable per Wikipedia's policies, even though the company is notable. - Sitush (talk) 18:37, 30 March 2011 (UTC)
 * Just reverted your edit on the page, for the same reasons as before. - Sitush (talk) 18:55, 30 March 2011 (UTC)
 * And again - uncited trivia. You need to read the policy for biographies of living people. - Sitush (talk) 19:13, 30 March 2011 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Dhar Mann


The article Dhar Mann has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:

April 2011
Welcome to Wikipedia. Please do not remove Articles for deletion notices from articles, or remove other people's comments in Articles for deletion debates, as you did with Dhar Mann. Otherwise, it may be difficult to create consensus. If you oppose the deletion of an article, please comment at the respective page instead. Thank you. Sitush (talk) 13:51, 5 April 2011 (UTC)

Moved your comment
Hi, I've moved your recent comment to the deletion discussion page at Articles_for_deletion/Dhar_Mann. I've also removed some of the references you added. I'm pleased that you are now trying to add them again but I do feel that the nature of them is tangential to the article, ie: they're press release, normal promotional interviews in the course of business etc. I may be wrong, but that is why I took it to discussion. You may want to read the general notability guidelines as at present I think you are missing my point about what constitutes notability on Wikipedia. - Sitush (talk) 16:43, 6 April 2011 (UTC)
