Using Wikipedia for advertising or promotion.

Dear Andy,

Thank you for your comments however I am confused can you please help me meet you criteria for a good wikipedia page. I have always tried to maintain integrity on this page and I do not want nor intend to use Wikipedia as advertising just a record of my exhibition, achievements and charity donations.

Regarding meeting notability criteria,

I am the only Visual Artist / photographer to exhibit at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show to date with a concept garden dedicated to their work. I am the only UK based Visual Artist / photographer producing work at sizes up to 10' x 5' My charitable donations total £30,000 GBP the in particular The Children’s Acute Transport Service donation in June of this year was their largest single donation nearly £13,000 GBP and came from the sale of one photograph. I can provide proof of all donations if you need them. The Marie Curie Cancer Care Auction at The Royal Academy of Arts 2011 which was by Invitation saw my work appear alongside Barbara Rae, Sara Rossberg, Prof Ken Howard, Prof Chris Orr, Mary Fedden, Damien Hirst, Dame Elizabeth Blackadder and Sir Hugh Casson most of whom have Wikipidea pages of their own.. The PhotoVoice Auction of Exceptional Photographs 2010 which was by Invitation saw my work appear alongside top contemporary photographers most of whom have Wikipedia pages of their own. I am the only landscape photographer to have had two west end solo shows ever. These are not self funded show but curated shows by a gallery with a 30 year pedigree. At my 2009 solo show I produced the largest picture of it's kind ever finished in the UK. At my 2011 solo show I produced the first ever circular pictures of there kind. I am the only Irish born photographer to exhibit at Art London, London Art Fair and Affordable Art fair in the same year, other than Frieze these are the top Art Fairs of their kind in the UK and are Highly vetted. This year will be my fourth taking part in most of these fairs My sold out works are equivalent to half a million pounds worth of retail sales and it is only a matter of time before my work appears on the secondary market trough private auctions and in this context I feel it is important to list them.

Again I don't understand why you have deleted recent links on charity websites I have indeed donated the proceeds of my work to them and I had included links to Justgiving.com website where you can see the actual donations made.

Regarding awards - the information there is all correct, I understand some come under Shortlisted or Finalist but I think these statements are clear and I can provide proof of awards if you need them.

Best wishes

I look forward to your comments

Proposed deletion of David Anthony Hall

The article David Anthony Hall has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Undoubtedly fails to meet the notability criteria at WP:ARTIST and I don't think he meets the wider criteria at WP:GNG either - a fair amount of coverage but very little of it is in depth and the awards are mostly either minor ones or he's not actually won them.

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. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. andy (talk) 15:38, 4 August 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of David Anthony Hall

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 David Anthony Hall, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Crisco 1492 (talk) 13:28, 6 August 2011 (UTC)
