Article is up for deletion

Hello and thank you for taking the time to create Digital Nitrate Prize. However I was unable to find any mention of it in Google, Yahoo, or Ask.com. You may comment on this page. This is nothing personal and I encourage you to copy the text of the current article into a text document so when the prize does exist you can create the article again. See Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Digital_Nitrate_Prize --Mboverload 06:24, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

Hello. Thank you for the comments, and I hope I'm answering them properly. The Prize is genuine and it is only recently formed, so you will find few mentions in Google since it takes so long to promulgate! However, if you want to search the archives of the AMIA mailing list, you'll find endless discussions about the criteria for the prize, etc. Much of the correspondence is private, but if you're really interested it can be found.

Help requested

Hello. How can I help you? Henrik 18:29, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

Hi. Thanks for answering so quickly!

Let me be a little schematic: 1) Is this the right place to answer you? 2) If not... where? how? 3) Is this the right form? 4) How do I deal with "deletion requests." I've posted an accurate article and a few people are questioning it, but I'm not sure the correct way to answer/deal with it.

Thank you. :-) Movieresearch 18:51, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

Yep, this is the right place. You can sign your posts by typing ~~~~ at the end, which will help people know who wrote what. While I personally find Digital Nitrate Prize interesting, it may not be suitable for inclusion in wikipedia yet even though it is accurate - The concerns people have with it on the deletion vote page mostly boil down to that it is too new; it doesn't have any verifiable sources any depicts events that hasn't occured yet (as the prize is still in development, if I've understood things correctly?). If you have any third party, reliable sources, such as an article from a newspaper or something similar, please mention that here. Even though it may be deleted now, don't worry - if you in the future can make it meet wikipedias inclusion criteria, it can be recreated. I hope this helps! Henrik 18:52, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

The Digital Nitrate Prize

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on The Digital Nitrate Prize, by Seattlenow (talk · contribs), another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because The Digital Nitrate Prize fits the criteria for speedy deletion for the following reason:

recreated AfD'd content

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting The Digital Nitrate Prize, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself. --Android Mouse Bot 2 21:09, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

I am not an admin, so I can not delete any articles. The issue of whether the topic should have a Wikipedia article has been raised twice, and the consensus was to delete in both cases--Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Digital Nitrate Prize (2nd nomination). If you have new information that wasn't raised during the AfD discussions, or feel the deletion somehow violated Wikipedia:Deletion policy, you can raise the issue at Wikipedia:Deletion review.

Reply to Digital Nitrate Prize deletion

The "Digital Nitrate Prize" may be a sincere and legitimate operation, but that alone does not make it a candidate for inclusion on Wikipedia. One criterion is whether it is notable. When I search Google for "digital nitrate prize", I find a number of web-sites but there are predominately (if not all) self-publicity; there appears to be very little independent third-party material about this. Despite that you said to me, its only listed sponsor is the Buffalo International Film Festival - which is, I believe, also one of your creations. I'm not doubting its existence as a charity, but its notability seems limited to self-created web-site entries, blogs, circularly-referential sites, etc. I can find little independent evidence for it. My view would be that again this is an attempt at self-publicity. Edward Summer's biography on Wikipedia is also bordering on show business hyperbole: is it really necessary to list 16 different occupations? His numerous minor activities as listed by IMDb hardly make him out to be a truly notable person in the film industry! -- MightyWarrior 17:32, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
