Speedy deletion nomination of Dan Willis (comedian)

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Dan Willis (comedian), requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate, such as at articles for deletion. Under the specified criteria, where a page has substantially identical content to that of a page deleted after debate, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Speedy deletion nomination of Adam Ethan Crow

Hello Rhiandorothybell,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Adam Ethan Crow for deletion, because it seems to be promotional, rather than an encyclopedia article.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks!

I've commented a couple places on this..

Haven't heard back yet, but I know things are busy and all..

I just built the page similar to other directors, but am happy to edit it down if that's needed..

Don't want to break the rules! Which is why I was careful to cite everything carefully.. Rhiandorothybell (talk) 06:09, 9 May 2024 (UTC)

Hi Rhiandorothybell (Rhian? May I call you that?) The primary concern, and the one that lead to the speedy deletion of the article, is the tone of the phrases used. One of our most important core content policies, Neutral point of view, mainly requires us to represent viewpoints in proportion to their prominence in reliable sources. However, it also requires us to take an impartial, encyclopedic tone. Many works describing creative professionals, such as film directors or authors, can tend towards the effusive in their praise... or scathing, in criticism. This would not be generally considered appropriate in an encyclopedic work, and two of our speedy deletion criteria (G10 and G11) cover articles which take either tone. The most relevant subsection of that policy would be § Describing aesthetic opinions and reputations, for ease of reference.

You may also like to consult the linked guideline in the next subsection of that page, Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Words to watch. Or if you would prefer the short version, it would suffice to say phrases like "evolve into a prominent figure", "upbringing was anything but ordinary" and "collaborations with industry luminaries" are not generally considered acceptable unless they reflect a broad consensus across multiple of the most reliable sources (not just one or two, and not just sources normally considered acceptable for... a less extravagant turn of phrase).

Tone is just the first hurdle. Even though this is not literally your first article, the help page (Help:Your first article) may still be useful advice. A neutral tone would avoid immediate deletion, but one must ensure the sources you use demonstrate significant coverage in independent, reliable secondary sources. IMDb is not considered reliable, and interviews are not generally considered independent. The main sources used must be both, there must be enough independent analysis for an article to be written from just a few of those sources.

Please let me know if you have any other questions, and good luck. (You may also consider getting your articles reviewed by the draft review process, Wikipedia:Articles for creation and asking questions at the Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/Help desk — as drafts are, obviously, not finished, the standards are a little looser, though some will still be deleted if extremely promotional) Alpha3031 (t • c) 12:39, 9 May 2024 (UTC)
