[edit] DelGripo Films
I tried deleting this via WP:XD, but the author reverted it and insists that because he plans to go to film school next year, his film company needs an article. But, it's really just some guy with a camcorder, there's nothing verifiable or significant here. However, since he insists on Afd, here we are. Friday (talk) 03:23, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
Response
I'm not just a guy with a camcorder, and I am going to film school next year (Columbia in Chicago, which is a highly accredited art school). The person trying to delete my page has no idea who I am, so he can't accurately judge me. Until he has actually met me, he cannot say for a fact who I am, or that I'm "just some guy with a camcorder". —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.12.222.203 (talk • contribs) .
- I suppose I've been rude. I'm sorry. This is not meant to be any judgment on the quality of your films. But, you're right, I have no idea who you are. And, since there don't appear to have any reliable sources talking about your work, I have no way of knowing who you are or what you do. It's for exactly this reason that your film company does not belong in an encyclopedia. We get articles about garage bands and amateur filmmakers all the time, and we don't consider them significant or verifiable enough for inclusion. This is not meant to be a judgment on your work, it's simply a judgment about what does or does not belong in an encyclopedia. No offense is intended. Friday (talk) 03:52, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
- Delete per WP:CORP. As above: the only thing being judged is notability; and with 0 Google hits [1], this article qualifies as non-notable. bcasterlinetalk 03:58, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
- Delete per WP:CORP and probably WP:OR. I visited the delgripofilm home page and the hit counter read "21", though that may be incorrect. — ApolloCreed (comment) (talk) 04:08, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
My film company will not pop up on any search engine because I don't want to pay to have it listed. I don't care anymore, delete the page. I just wanted my page on wikipedia so I could gain more notice since wikipedia is used by many people. And since I don't have to pay anything to get an article on wikipedia, I liked the idea of it. I don't have tons of money to spend just so I can get recognized. My previous abbrasivesness was, somewhat, uncalled for. I hope you understand what I've tried to say, and my intentions.
Ok, I know, back off now.
