[edit] WESKetch Architecture

Contested proposed deletion. No 3rd party reliable sources provided to assert the notability of the company. Google hits for ("WESKetch Architecture") = 302. Mainly directory listings. --  Netsnipe  ^(Talk)  17:14, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

• Delete I originally prod'd this article. Non-notable company. Doesn't seem controversial to me. Dipics 17:56, 25 August 2006 (UTC)
• Comment: I would like to make the changes necessary to make this a viable entry, but I need to know specifically what is wrong with the entry. I made the changes necessary according to the "notable company" entry. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Backburnercomics (talk • contribs) .

• Reply: You need 3rd party references. Eg: newspaper and magazine articles or major architecture/design prizes. --  Netsnipe  ^(Talk)  18:41, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

• So what exactly is the problem? Is it because WESKetch has too many published references to it? Or not enough published references? The wording of the "notable" tag it received was very confusing. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Backburnercomics (talk • contribs) .

Reply: Your article doesn't cite any references that makes it apparent straight away to the reader why there should be an article on WESKetch Architecture. You could insert subtle lies into the article and we wouldn't be able to verify anything because we have no sources to refer back to. --  Netsnipe  ^(Talk)  18:48, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

Obviously this is my first article submission, and this is all really confusing. I gathered the information on the company from their website. Also on their website are the listings of the magazines they have appeared in and awards they have received. Not only is the magazine listed, but actual scans of the article are also linked. I thought the article would be significant because they were the first LEED certified architect firm in New Jersey. And sustainable architecture seems to be a hot topic right now, including research for school projects. I wanted to save other people time on their research by including this company as a resource. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Backburnercomics (talk • contribs)

It's not enough to just have a link to the company's website in the article. If there is verifiable information about the company on its website that supports its notability, please include that in the article (without, of course, doing a straight cut-and-paste from the site, which would be a copyright violation). And please sign your posts using four tildes (these ---> ~). NawlinWiki 19:16, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

Alright, sorry for the trouble. Go ahead and delete this entry. I'll collaborate with my friend to bring this article up to wikipedia standards and then repost it at a later date.Backburnercomics 19:48, 25 August 2006 (UTC)Backburnercomics
