Proposed deletion of Ryan Allen Pickett

The article Ryan Allen Pickett has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non-notable director lacking GHits and GNEWS of substance. Has a minor win for a short film and has acted in a very minor role. Appears to fail WP:BIO and WP:CREATIVE.

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 {{proposed deletion/dated}} 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 {{proposed deletion/dated}} 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. ttonyb (talk) 00:01, 3 May 2011 (UTC)

Question

Hi, I have been following your editing in regards to Look (2009 film), and have notice that you exclusively edit that article, and its related subjects. Are you in anyway affiliated with its production/team/actors? If so, I like to say I liked the show! Phearson (talk) 22:36, 6 August 2011 (UTC)

Phearson, are you saying you like "Look?" also, would it be a problem if I were affiliated with the production team? [User:Samantha3310|Samantha3310]] (talk)

...sigh, No I lied. I never seen it. I was wanting to see if you had a Conflict of Interest which by your edits alone, indicate you may have. See this warning:

no conflict of interest here... just interested in "Look" because I am from Nashville and am interested in indie film from here. I didn't know that Wikipedia has a problem with an editor only editing a few pages. I will make an effort to work on a more diverse range of pages... I am a professional freelance writer, so that's what I'm here for.

Alright. I'll be going over the article later in the day. Phearson (talk) 14:16, 8 August 2011 (UTC)

Hello Samantha3310. If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Look (2009 film), you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about following the reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:

1. Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
2. Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
3. Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
4. Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you. Phearson (talk) 05:17, 8 August 2011 (UTC)
