Notability of Cary Jordan edit

 

A tag has been placed on Cary Jordan requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. GaryColemanFan (talk) 18:30, 6 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

Re your message: You do not need to provide proof that Cary Jordan is a real person. I have no doubt about that. The problem is not if he exists or not, but if he is notable enough for inclusion on Wikipedia. As noted in the message above, the problem is that he does not currently meet the notability guidelines for musicians for inclusion on Wikipedia. Perhaps in the future he will if he has a hit record/album or joins a notable band. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 19:00, 6 July 2008 (UTC)Reply
Re your message: With neither band having an article on Wikipedia, their notability is questionable. You are welcome to recreate the article, but you need to provide sources for why he is notable. Has there been any independent coverage of him such as newspaper, magazine, or online articles? The same thing goes with the two bands. If you can provide such citations, the more likely it is that the article will remain on Wikipedia. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 19:13, 6 July 2008 (UTC)Reply
Re your message: It appears that you have found the correct article and that they have remained on Wikipedia instead of getting deleted. Did you still have another question? -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 05:07, 8 July 2008 (UTC)Reply
Re your message: You're welcome. As for the categorizing, what I recommend is looking at the articles of similar artists and groups and copying the categories (modifying if necessary) over. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 06:00, 10 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

AfD nomination of Cary The Label Guy edit

 

I have nominated Cary The Label Guy, an article you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Cary The Label Guy. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time. ~Eliz81(C) 20:14, 15 October 2008 (UTC) ~Eliz81(C) 20:14, 15 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

Re: Cary The Label Guy edit

Re your message: Let me help you with the easiest item first, which is question if you have a conflict of interest or not. With that, I recommend that you unequivocally state if you have a COI or not. If you have no relation to the band per the COI page, then clearly state such as in "I have no conflict of interest regarding this article." If you do have a COI, then you need to come clean with what your relation is. You do not have to identify yourself, but if you do have a COI, you need to say something like "I am/was the former (blank) for Cary and/or the band." If Otisrsx is your alternate account, you need to state as such (and then stop using it).

As for the question about third-party sources, you have provided some. Providing additional citations for [citation need] tagged items and using the citation templates within the article would help. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 05:59, 16 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

Re your message: I think you did the right thing by coming clean about the Otisrsx account. The article in Bass Player is being discounted because a third-party did not really cover him independently. While the magazine did have a hand in choosing to publish his submission, it was still his submission, not an independent writer's work. If you could provide articles about him from an independent writer, that would help considerably towards his notability. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 04:57, 17 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

Sockpuppetry case edit

 

You have been accused of sockpuppetry. Please refer to Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/Teamxrsx for evidence. Please make sure you make yourself familiar with notes for the suspect before editing the evidence page. ThuranX (talk) 01:23, 19 October 2008 (UTC)Reply

Your comment on a closed AfD edit

I have removed it, as you are quite clearly not supposed to modify it. Second of all, you have said nothing about multiple 3rd party sources independent from the subject, nor have you cited any. You want to insert this article. The burden of evidence is on you. Third, meatpuppets are still puppets. The chances of them finding this particular afd are slim. Sure, people are bound to know him, but it just seems unlikely.— dαlus Contribs /Improve 01:53, 21 October 2008 (UTC)Reply
