[edit] TheGeekMedia

TheGeekMedia (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

This article is of a non notable media hosting company. I previously nominated this for speedy deletion but the author removed the db tag from the page. As he or she was making a number of edits and explained the removal of the db tag on my user talk page I decided to leave it for a while to see if verifiable sources emerged. They haven't. The author tries to explain on his user page why the non-notable sources (blogs etc) he has used should be considered notable in this case [User:MenuetRanit], but I'm not convinced. This is a website which hosts media but it is not notable. B1atv 07:32, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

  • The article needs to be deleted because the company is not a notable company? Perhaps not by your exact standards but, in the new media community and the various communities it is connected to, The Geek Media is indeed a notable company. The credentials of the people Affiliated with the company can speak for themselves. Two published authors, a professional anime voice actor, a professional composer who has done soundtracks to games and movies. Quite a few of the people involved with this company have their own articles here on Wikipedia. The company has media coverage contracts with various conventions, sponsorships, affiliates and quite a few other things under their belts. However, just because they were not written about in a newspaper or put on a news story they suddenly aren't notable enough to have an entry? Alright. I'll go for that if the admins decide. And, if the article gets deleted then the individual Affiliates will begin to put up their own entries and they will indeed fit every one of your standards as someone notable enough to have an entry.

Exactly, someone may be notable but not the company. Just by having (completely unverified) perhaps notable employees does not make the company notable. Perhaps the company may be worthy of inclusion if they become an industry leader or do something outstanding as a corporate entity. For now, it is just promotion of a business that blatantly fails the notability criteria and yes, MenuetRanit, it is not currently worthy of inclusion. What you state on your userpage is the definition of an organization, not whether it is notable. Regarding sources, it's not a matter of what "new media" would call reliable - stuff that any Tom Dick or Harry could publish without practically any effort whatsoever is not a valid source. And I'm quite convinced that you're not impartial and neutral which violates heaps of commonsense rules as well. Delete this --Pumpmeup 05:54, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
I'll stick to my previous statement. I'll leave it to the admins to decide and we will move on from there.MenuetRanit 07:24, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
