Richter Studios

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Non-notable organization/company. No reliable and independent third-party references to establish notability and articles subject fails WP:N. Article is basically 100% OR. Nobody of Consequence (talk) 17:20, 27 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Good page. I added some references to it.  For my two cents, don't delete it.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Rs daveman (talk • contribs) 19:10, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment This editor has contributed to no articles other than this one. Nobody of Consequence (talk) 20:01, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Response Does that matter? I mean does someone have to have lots of edits before they can submit an article? Also, should not the content dictate usability rather than the editor?  Not trying to be a jerk, just do not understand the why.  Rs daveman (talk) 20:55, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
 * WP:COI. Nobody of Consequence (talk)


 * Delete article fails our notability and verifiability policies. An article about Richter Studios whose founder is Dave Richter being edited by Rs daveman which has a number of COI and advertising problems. Jasynnash2 (talk) 09:03, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - after searching through Google News Archives, it only registers five hits. None of the five are articles about the company itself, but rather it's industry. Fails WP:CORP with dash of WP:COI. Jauerbackdude?/dude. 10:48, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

Just added to Nobody of Consequence talk and thought I should copy it here as well
Below explains how this all started and my request for help to make it a worthy page. I get that I have self interest in it. However when I step back and really take a look at it, there is some real quality content and tie ins. Maybe it needs some edits and thats fine. Any help would be appreciated!

Not so! Lets clear this up.
I did not write this article. In fact it caught me by surprise. We have a freelancer that we employ from time to time for web work and so on. You can check his site at http://www.derekentringer.com and then compare to my linked in page at http://www.linkedin.com/in/djrichter and see that we are different people.

Anyway if you look back to when the account RS Daveman was created. I was considering putting an article about the company into the wiki. Then I was informed that you could not submit yourself. So I complaind a bit to who ever would listen and then moved on to other things.

A couple of days ago he called and said, hey Dave I got a present for ya. So I checked it out and i was thrilled. Personally, I think he did a wonderful job of capturing our accomplishments and items of interest that we have done or been involved in.

After that I said, hey why don't you add us, the two founders, to other pages and link back so people can find it. So, high school, college and my Mensa thing. I was excited! Just after that you guys started deleting and so on. Which brings me to defending it, which was not my original intent.

With all that being said, how can I help contribute to keep it alive
All I have heard so far is delete, conflict on intrest and so on. What I have not heard is what do I or someone else need to do to keep it alive? Would some Wiki Editor be willing to do research. Do I need to contribute something. A vendor of ours. A celebrity we have worked with?

Not to take a dig at anyone because that is not what I am trying to do, but I have over time read many Wiki's that we less well written or had lots less information or something that I just wondered why the heck is that there. However, they made it in. So how. Obviously there was some type of procedure for that to happen. How can I help it here. I mean if it needs revisions and it needs to be someone else, fine. I get that, but how does that occur in the Wiki world.

So the end of this long note is can you help me initiate the next steps to help keep this alive. Being a newbie at the Wiki world I have no real idea as where to start. Rs daveman (talk) 00:56, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
