[edit] B.C. Rich Archive

An attempt to use Wikipedia resources to publicize a non-notable data collection effort. Maybe this warrants a single sentence in B.C. Rich, but not an article of its own. Page has also been blanked repeatedly. jni 07:01, 25 October 2005 (UTC)


Hi, I am one of the workers who is a member of the BC Rich Archive. WE offer afree information sewrvice to anyone who requests it. We do not make money, we do not take money. We offer free services for those who request data from us on these vintage instruments which are becoming rarer every day.

There are very few people on het planet that can offer the info we provide, even BC Rich themselves cannot offer the info we provide in most cases.

I see no reason why this page should be deleted, however it is quite anoying that hackers keep interfering and editing our information.

Thanks. demonx

  • Delete - Sorry. Non-profit doesn't change the fact that this just does not belong in an encyclopedia. TexasAndroid 13:16, 25 October 2005 (UTC)
  • Speedy Delete I've tagged it speedy as CSD:A4 (an attempt to correspond with owners of B.C. Rich Guitars). See Wikipedia:Criteria_for_speedy_deletion Articles #4 for the exact criteria. I appreciate what the Archive is trying to do, but there are very clear rules against creating articles that are attempts to correspond with people, even for non-profit reasons. There are lots of other ways to publicize what you are trying to do (and incidentally these ways are less prone to wanton editing by random vandals): Blogs, Message Boards, etc. Good luck in your efforts!--Isotope23 13:48, 25 October 2005 (UTC)
Demonx, if you see this, might I suggest you add an external link to the B.C Rich Archive on the B.C. Rich article? I don't imagine anyone will have a big problem with that.--Isotope23 15:02, 25 October 2005 (UTC)
