[edit] YA Entertainment

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

Sorry, this article was earlier nominated for deletion, under the name YA Entertainment (Entertainment Company) on 12 January 2007. The article was then deleted on 19 January 2007. The results of the previous delete can be found here. Basically, the reasons are very similar. In summary, the original contributor of the now-deleted article was copying text and images from YA Entertainment's web site, and was not providing sufficient information to prove that she indeed obtain permission from YAE to use the material. The behavior of this person was suspicious, where at times she even attempted to socket puppet the editing. To add to the reason, several of us suspect that one or more users have grouped together and are trying to re-resurrect the article for only professional gain of the company. According to User:Oncamera in the discussions page, he's observed similarities between the users working on the article, including the IP addresses, as well as the timing of the edits being so close together. It appears to be a group effort. Groink 06:56, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

Delete. Although everything about this article's re-creation is suspicious to me, the reason for me saying delete is the lack of notability. User:Oncamera has made a sound argument for it on YA's talk page. Also, I think List of YA Entertainment Releases should be nominated along with this page as well, for the exact same reasons.

• Delete per nom, fails WP:CORP, and talk page response by me. This company isn't notable with most references to the site's press releases and was created five days after the old page was deleted by a "new user" who has perfect wiki-editing skills. List of YA Entertainment Releases should also be deleted for lack of notability. on camera 07:31, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

• Delete both per nom & Oncamera. Fails, WP:CORP, reposted content is speedyable, and WP:COI seals it. --Dhartung | Talk 03:54, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
• Delete Non-notable niche media company, article cites only one satisfactory independent source. The award won was given out by Korean cultural organizations, which does little to establish notability outside that community. Caknuck 04:30, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
• Delete for recreation of previous deleted article that still fails to meet requirements. Mathmo ^Talk 04:50, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
• Delete as a recreation of previously deleted material. Take away the press releases and there isn't much left of the sources. -FisherQueen (Talk) 12:15, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per above. MER-C 13:01, 30 January 2007 (UTC)
