[edit] Marco A. Diaz
After a discussion with wimt, I believe that a few minor appearances at iMDB does not satisfy notability guidelines. The article was also created and has been edited almost entirely by a user with a username very similar to the article title (Marcodiaz13 (talk · contribs) vs Marco A. Diaz) leading me to believe this is a possible COI/self promotion.
I originally Prodded the article, but the notice was removed with no explanation as to why in the edit summary or on the talk page. During this removal, my {{biography}} and {{coi}} tags were also removed (diff). ChaoticReality 05:34, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
- Comment from article creator: I have created this page to try to illustrate the success and hard work of my cousin. I did not know that wikipedia discouraged the creation of pages for people at a early stage of success in their career. I have created the page with no ill intentions of hurting anyone, so If my edition and contribution is not welcome I will gladly delete and persist in my efforts. I apologize for trying to create the page, and did not know that only strangers may create a page for someone. Thank you for your advice and lesson.Marcodiaz13 (talk) 05:48, 11 June 2008 (UTC)Marcodiaz13
- and for Blaxthos i would like to see you get some IMDb credits, see how tribal and simple it is.
- Delete - Seems to fail WP:N, as there are no reliable references beyond tivial listings at imdb. COI aside (cough), come back when career has been more sufficiently covered. / Blaxthos ( t / c ) 05:39, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
- Delete although I commend Marcodiaz13 for his efforts the subject of the article doesn't meet the notability and verifiabilty standards set out in policy and guidelines. IMDB isn't a reliable 3rd party source because anyone can edit it (any many have done just that to try and mess with projects like this one). Jasynnash2 (talk) 16:23, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
- Keep -* 'Is IMDB a reliable source for its polling and statistics in a film article?
Two groups of editors have gone around in circles on this one. There was a consensus that it wasn't a reliable source in a previous discussion at WikiProject Films. But trying to remove references to it led to this backlash on Talk:Films considered the greatest ever, with another group arguing that IMDB should be considered a reliable source.
It is a reliable source for the statement "IMDB users voted xxx". We don't have to show that it's considered a reliable source in any other sense, as IMDB is notable enough to be included on its own merits. Chris Bainbridge (talk) 18:29, 15 December 2007 (UTC) Besides, IMDb has strict rules that only films gone to major screenings can go to the main page, you need a special account and it takes weeks to get your name there. It is reliable and can be proven to be honorable on its own. [1]
