Delete page edit

Trademark owner wants page deleted. Content was deleted several times by page creator COMICONNMITCH but you keep replacing it Normanwright227 (talk) 11:05, 11 August 2015 (UTC)Reply

The page creator does not own the page, and cannot demand that it be deleted. The owner of a trademark cannot prevent the item from being discussed. There are processes for discussing deletion of a page. It will be deleted if published reliable sources have not discussed the subject, but in this case it doess seem to have been covered in the press. The article can doubtless be improved, and some of the content may be deleted if unsourced, but you can't just delete what you don't like. If you keep edit warring you are liable to be blocked from editing. --David Biddulph (talk) 11:34, 11 August 2015 (UTC)Reply
I'm going to go out on a limb here and guess that you mean the page for Connecticut ComiCONN. FYI, when discussing things here, it is helpful if you actually link to the page you are talking about, since English Wikipedia has almost five million pages, and anyone who happens upon the conversation might not otherwise know which page you are referring to. (If you are not sure how to create a link, at least mention the name of the page.) Now, the question is this: The trademark owner of which particular trademark wants the page taken down? Is that you? How do we know that you don't work for a competing organization and are trying to get your competition removed from Wikipedia? (I'm not saying you are doing this, but similar things have been tried in the past.) Most people who organize conventions would love to have an article in Wikipedia, as long as it is accurate and up to date. This is such a problem here that we have a process for quickly removing spam links and spam articles. Does the trademark owner have issues with trademark dilution or similar concerns? If so, an article about the Connecticut ComiCONN does not dilute or infringe upon the owner's intellectual property rights, in that Wikipedia is not organizing a competing convention using the same name, nor does Wikipedia make any claim to own any of the organization's rights. If any text or images on the page violate copyright, those can be corrected, but the way to correct that is to mention the issue on the article's talk page, rather than trying to blank the entire page. If those issues don't get fixed, you can nominate the page for deletion, but such a decision needs to be made by consensus, and then carried out by an administrator. I hope this helps you to understand the process. Etamni | ✉   22:19, 11 August 2015 (UTC)Reply
I've just read the comments you left on another user's talk page. If the event organizer wants to add his own content to Wikipedia related to that event, all such edits must follow Wikipedia's rules regarding conflict-of-interest editing. Please remember that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia -- it's not FaceBook or another form of social media, nor is it an organization's web page to do with as they see fit -- and the community decides what to keep and what not to keep, based on standards that have been developed over the years.
