Fixed your formatting here (and then the ironic twist....). Cheers, —Giggy 11:25, 28 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

please remove the speedy deletion tag. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Arpodyssey (talk • contribs) 18:44, 28 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I deleted Triniton meets the mars people this morning because it was a redirect to a non-existant page and there was no other history to revert to. Speedy deletion tags are only removed if they have been applied incorrectly (& this one was perfectly in order) and in any case the article has been deleted now. I would usually offer to userfy the deleted content but as it was a single edit & was a bad redirect there is not much point, sorry about that.

I request undeletion of Critical Intervention Services; there has been a lot of news coverage about this organization and it is an important example of a private police-like force. It should at least go to AfD, in my opinion. Thanks, Aldrich Hanssen (talk) 18:13, 29 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- CIS was deleted because no notability was asserted - the article discussed a local firm with a small client base. However, I have userfied the article for you - you can find it at User:Aldrich Hanssen/Sandbox so that you can work on it, particularly with regard to notability and reliable sources - the only references quoted in the article were from the CIS web site, granted they purport to be text from newspaper articles but who knows how genuine they are? Good luck! Kind regards, nancy (talk) 18:35, 29 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I work for the Italian American Network. I made the entry. Its not copywrited information or plagerism, because i wrote it. i'm having a hard time understand why everyone I named was also deleted. Please explain. edco0o. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Edco0o (talk • contribs) 18:41, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Oh gosh. Where to start?
- as an employee of I.A.N. you have a massive conflict of interest and should avoid editing article related to this topic as it is very difficult for you to remain neutral. If I.A.N. is truely notable enough to be on Wikipedia then likely someone with a more objective view will be along and will create an article soon enough.
- I also noticed that the article was almost entirely self-referenced - ie. the references were all published by I.A.N. and therefore not considered to be reliable sources in Wikipedia terms.
- regardless of whether you wrote the original text or not, it is currently published on the internet and marked as Copyright © 2008 Italian American Network. All rights reserved. so Wikipedia cannot accept it. This is also the (main) reason why your biographical articles were removed.
- there are problems with the tone of the article being very promotional and unencyclopaedic as well as being of uncertain notability
- I would really recommend that you click through some of the links and read through the pages as then you will ahve a clearer idea of what Wikipedia is (and is not!) and the bar you have to meet when creating articles. The help page Your first article might also be worth a few moments of your time. Kind regards, nancy (talk) 19:02, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Could you send me a copy of Danny Smythe (AfD)? Thanks, Rdbrewster♪♫♪ 20:12, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Sure. I've dumped it in your sandbox. please don;t keep it hanging around if you are not going to work on it though - I'll check back in a week or so. Kind regards, nancy (talk) 20:18, 1 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Nancy:
Please tell me how I can get my page back up for Lisa Haley.
I deleted all the AllMusic.com text.
I substituted our band biography, which I wrote myself.
I'm new to Wikipedia so I don't know where to look to see if you've responded to my request.
Please note: the AllMusic.com text was only edited in the first place because the info on the band members is 10 years old (we have all different sidemen now,) and it doesn't mention our GRAMMY Nominated CD.
We have been trying to get AllMusic.com to update our text for several years, with no response as yet.
I'm including the replacement text below FYI. {now removed nancy (talk) 06:04, 4 July 2008 (UTC)}
I'm sorry for misunderstanding your guidelines.[reply]
Kindest Regards,

- Andy. If you haven't already I would suggest a read of WP:MUSIC which sets out the notability criteria for bands/musicians. Once you are sure that Lisa Haley makes the grade then the next thing to do is to gather some good reliable, secondary sources to support the facts in the article. Finally you need to pull everything together in to a WP:NPOV and non-promotional article; it is probably worth using an existing good article about a band as as a template - Loose Fur for example. I note that you are personally connected with the band, whilst this does not exclude you form writing about them you need to be extra careful that you are remaining neutral and that you don't let any original research creep in. You should also consider that if Lisa Haley is truely notable then likely someone unconnected will be along and create an article soon enough - and if not, then well may be she isn't that notable. good luck & kind regards nancy (talk) 14:51, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
