Speedy deletion of "Light In The Attic Records" edit
A page you created, Light In The Attic Records, has been tagged for deletion, as it meets one or more of the criteria for speedy deletion; specifically, it is about a company or corporation, but it does not indicate how it is important or significant, and thus why it should be included in an encyclopedia. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and the guidelines for companies in particular.

RE: Light in the Attic edit
It worked! :D So basically now I can provide you with a bunch of links because it would take me too long to explain everything... first, it would rock if you could dig up some reliable sources to cite the article with (that way it would comply with WP:CORP guidelines). Add the infobox, do some more minor cleanup and you'll have yourself a nice little stub! :) I'll help, of course. Master of Puppets Call me MoP! :) 01:46, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
- Hi Sarah. I've been doing some work on the LITA entry. I want to make you aware of a couple of things. First, the text you put on the page was a direct copy and paste of the 'About' page on the label website. This is absolutely not allowed, both because it is a copyright violation and because we cannot accept primary sources for articles; we must use neutral third party reliable sources in order to maintain our neutral point of view. Second, I am concerned that you are involved with the record label itself. That presents a conflict of interest. While it's true that people directly involved with the subject of an article aren't precisely forbidden from working on that article, if you are involved with the label you have to be very, very careful about anything you put in, and be sure that everything is sourced to third parties. That basically means reliable newspapers, magazines, books, journals. I've also pasted some links below for you to familiarize yourself with other Wikipedia policies and procedures. Happy editing.

- Hi Sarah. You can't just copy and paste information from the official website of the label. You also need to avoid the use of what we call 'peacock words', that is adjectives which violate a neutral point of view. Please read those links. I am going to revert the article to the version I wrote, as it was far more neutral. Feel free to add Ferrero's name back, but please please read our policies on conflict of interest before making any further edits to the article. I really, really need to know that you have read and understood this before you keep editing, otherwise I will be forced to seek admin involvement to prevent you from editing the article any further. I know we both don't want that, so please read the links I have provided for you, and leave a comment here indicating that you have read them, okay? Thank you!
