[edit] Robert H. Miller

Looks like the AfD might be superseded by the copyvio that was identified at AfD. --AndrewHowse (talk) 05:42, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Frank Kelly Miller Rich

I have not looked at it yet, but wanted to give you an unbiased answer. Sure i'll look at it. Your challenge is to establish WP:N and WP:BIO can be very helpful too. If you are able to meet those requirements using WP:RS and WP:V then not only will i change my mind, but my opinion wouldn't even matter, since you'll have the winning argument. good luck dude.CholgatalK! 04:08, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

  • On second look, I'm not convinced. sorry.CholgatalK! 04:16, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] FICTWARN and non-television invocations

I've seen a number of AfDs lately where the injunction was invoked as a rationale for keeping an article, even though the subject of the article was in no way related to television. How does the injunction apply to characters from books or podcasts? DarkAudit (talk) 15:37, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

  • My understanding is that FICTWARN applies to all fictional characters, but you may wish to request clarification from the Arbitration Committee. --Eastmain (talk) 15:58, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
    • Reading the text of the injunction, it only mentions television series episode or character. DarkAudit (talk) 16:19, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] The Great Canadian Travel Company Ltd

Greetings Eastmain. I've had a look at the sources you've added to the article, but I still feel the company lacks notability. What the article needs is coverage from mainstream news organizations. These links do not provide sufficient coverage of the company itself, only of the products and destinations it offers. Also, as Wikidemo notes in the ADF, "Any newspaper "article" ... that goes down a list of offerings and ends with the phone number to call ... does not look like the kind of impartial editorial process that would verify the claims or establish that the subject is worth noting." Think outside the box 11:51, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you

Thanks for telling me about the bot that removes AfDs from deletion lists. I've noticed a bot (The wubbot) removing some in recent weeks. However, it does not leave a link in the edit summary, or indicate which article it removed. I've been leaving a link so people who have the list on their Watch list can click it. Are you talking about the same bot? If so, it may be worthwhile for me to continue as long as the bot does not put a link in the edit summary. But if a bot does that, I'll retire gladly. In any case, I'm grateful to you for leaving the notice. Fg2 (talk) 03:41, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the further suggestions. I've left a note on the talk page of The wub asking about the summaries. Regarding the archive page, I wasn't even aware of it. I've added it to my watch list and I'll list pages I remove in the archives. Useful information. Fg2 (talk) 05:06, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Malaria

See User_talk:OhanaUnited#Re:AIV. Will (talk) 03:49, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Nipissing University Student Union

If you haven't already commented, I could use some help on this AFD. Thanks. GreenJoe 20:32, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] AfD nomination of Grant Robertson

An editor has nominated Grant Robertson, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Grant Robertson and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 02:59, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] proposal to merge WP:PROF into WP:BIO

There is an ongoing discussion of a proposal to merge WP:PROF into WP:BIO at Wikipedia talk: Notability (academics). Since you have commented in AfD discussions for articles about academics, you may want to participate in the discussion of this merge proposal. Regards, Nsk92 (talk) 12:19, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Dang It

I goofed up an AfD now. :P What an interesting day. Thanks for the heads up, I'll withdraw the afd. -WarthogDemon 04:56, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] RE:Luck

Sorry about that, I just didn't realize that due to the fact that the article was completely uncited. Meh, good think I used the wrong template! Teh Rote (talk) 01:14, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Rocky Ford, North Carolina

The article that I deleted was, in its entirety:

West-northwest of the neighboring unincorporated settlement of Ingleside, is the unincorporated area of Rocky Ford.

The title is not protected, so you are free to repost, but I hope you won't unless you add some more content. Thanks, NawlinWiki (talk) 00:11, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Restored

You'll find it at User:Eastmain/Marci Lipman. Please ensure it passes WP:BIO in the next few days. Drop me a line when it's ready to go back into mainspace. I'm disappointed (for you) that you didn't get a speedy notice - I'll mention it to the tagger. --Dweller (talk) 20:40, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

It's better, no question of that, but the RS contain at best (to my mind) fairly trivial references to the subject. I propose to move it to mainspace but immediately list it for AfD. Would you be happy with that, or do you think you can improve it further? --Dweller (talk) 08:59, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi. Not had a reply to that last message. If I've not heard from you in the next couple of days, I'll do exactly that. --Dweller (talk) 11:58, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Schnitzel Records

Hi. I actually removed my speedy deletion for this article because I noticed (too late) that it was tagged for speedy before. However, just wanted to note that neither the Google News hits nor the reference provided in the article speaks to the label's importance, significance or notability. All they confirm is that the label exists. I was planning on PRODing this article, am I correct in assuming you would object? If so I'll go right to AFD. Thanks! Richc80 (talk) 04:37, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Agreed that there might be some industry-specific sources out there, hopefully the PROD & Speedy Delete notices I am placing will help spur the discovery of those sources by interested editors in the know. Even if the articles are deleted, recreation once sources are found would be easy as none of the articles have any significant content. Thanks for your feedback. Richc80 (talk) 04:55, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Great job!

The Rescue from Deletion Barnstar
I, Brewcrewer, award User:Morhange and User:Eastmain with this star for saving Walter Donald Douglas from deletion. Great work!--brewcrewer (yada, yada) 00:15, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Geosign

Thanks for finding recent references to Geosign. I'm still of the opinion it isn't notable; I think it really never was. It was a flash in the pan; all articles seem to be either about its birth or its death. Tb (talk) 03:07, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] AfD

Thanks for telling me. I missed the number one thing: be bold! Nothing444Go Irish! 17:35, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Dare Foods

I can restore it if you want, but it's probably easier to tell you that the entire text of the article was

"Dare Foods Ltd is a company that makes lots of confections in Canada and the US."

with a link to www.darefoods.com. Black Kite 12:23, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Exobasidiomycetes

It meets my standards now. I have withdrawn my nomination for AfD. Billscottbob (talk) 19:16, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Jody Kraus

Thank you for the heads up on this one. I will of course respect the outcome of the AfD, which is tending heavily toward Keep at this point. Qworty (talk) 03:39, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Jody Kraus

The article has improved greatly since I voted on it (there were neither publications nor references, I recall), so I'm changing my vote to Keep. Thanks for the feedback! Anturiaethwr (talk) 16:37, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Omnipeak OmniPeek

The references section is for citations that back up the content of the article. If you want to add citations throughout the article to show us what facts these links are backing up then by all means go ahead. AlistairMcMillan (talk) 19:02, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for the sources tip

Thanks for the tip on sources! Much appreciated. Renee (talk) 01:06, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Tribal Leadership

Dear Eastmain, I just did a news search for Tribal Leadership and found several good sources. I went to go add them to the article but you do references the super fancy way that I don't know how to do. Is there an easy way to do these? Here are some good ones:

  1. http://money.cnn.com/news/newsfeeds/articles/newstex/IBD-0001-23757656.htm
  2. http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/Page/document/v5/content/subscribe?user_URL=http://www.theglobeandmail.com%2Fservlet%2Fstory%2FLAC.20080312.CABOOKS12%2FTPStory%2FBusiness&ord=56420653&brand=theglobeandmail&force_login=true
  3. http://www.industryweek.com/ReadArticle.aspx?ArticleID=15970&SectionID=1

Also, I found out some interesting things about the book that I'll post. Renee (talk) 01:22, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

p.s. Actually, this is a much better description than what is currently in the article.Renee (talk) 01:26, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Nashville homeless power project

Another editor User:Refsworldlee was kind enough to dig up some sources for the article, so I restored. Cheers, OhNoitsJamie Talk 21:32, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

It's also been moved to the correct titling, Nashville Homeless Power Project (capitals). I suggest spending a bit of time bringing it up to standard, especially creating prose instead of the blind quote from the orgs website. Just to make sure it doesn't get sent to AfD or anything. Best wishes. Ref (chew)(do) 21:46, 14 April 2008 (UTC)


[edit] Dorothy Ruth

You say her book is in 200 libraries. I say there are 123,291 libraries in the US.--Endless Dan 01:56, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] TPI Polene

I had only tagged it for deletion because it had been created and deleted by the same user twice before for spam, and it looked like it was headed in the same direction. DarthShrine (talk) 03:37, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] received your message...

... about the Annotated bibliographies at AfD.

I am interested in the WP:OR aspects, and it does seem like an intersting question - but I don't know if I'll have time to study the AfDs. I'll check them out if I can, thanks for the heads-up. --Jack-A-Roe (talk) 04:41, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the message! I have added a comment to the afd page. Richard Harvey (talk) 22:19, 21 April 2008 (UTC)


[edit] Surinder Singh Bajwa

I might recommend adding those references to the SSB article directly. As it stands, it is too ready for deletion. Thanks! Ecoleetage (talk) 13:00, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

hi, a quick thank you message. very nice of you to get all the scholar info, I meant to do something like it, but got busy at work. best regards, Valeria Valeria.depaiva (talk) 13:24, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Non-bank financial institution

Yes, the article is substantially different from the one I recommended for AfD. I am glad to see it has improved.

By the way, we've shared several of these discussions and I wanted to say how much I've enjoyed your input and commentary. Ecoleetage (talk) 19:14, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] re: deletion of Wiki article on Community Service Foundation

I'm posting this to you, because I can't figure out how to post it on the "deletion" page.

Response to Stormtracker: I worked for the Community Service Foundation from 1964-65; Willis Spivey was my grandfather. The library/community center CSF built in Ridgecrest is still in use by the community 48 years later. Removing this article would be a slap in the face to those folks in Ridgecrest, Danville and Baskins Crossings who worked so hard to improve their lot. If you need more proof, see http://www.discoverblackflorida.com/index.asp?CommandSites=detail&SiteID=93 Cyclopsga (talk) 05:09, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Gabriella Miller

Hi had a page deleted that I created about a member of my family and it was deleted. I copy you on link to her website which shows coverage in some of the UKs leading newspapers and magazines about gabriella miller. I hope this helps with notability

Thank you

[edit] Coller Capital and Jeremy Coller

Well done, good person! I gave you my support (I hope it means something). Keep up the fine work, and thanks for calling on me! Ecoleetage (talk) 00:08, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] 11B

Bad article, which missed the fact that there were actually nine 11Bs, not just one. And I wouldn't redirect 11A to Avenue Road, either, as there were also historically 11As in Muskoka and Thunder Bay as well. They probably should be kept as separate articles, though, because Highway 11 is already pretty damn long and doesn't need subsections on twelve different spur routes to make it even longer — but also, realistically, we should only really do one article on each designation which has subsections on all of the routes that bore that number, because the 11A and 11B routes were all pretty short and are almost all now defunct anyway. Something like what I've already done at Highway 17B would probably be best. Bearcat (talk) 16:53, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

Oh, and just to clarify, my "bad article" snark was directed at the original creator, not at you. Bearcat (talk) 00:19, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
Yes, I understand. --Eastmain (talk) 00:24, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Notability of Palmer Candy Company

A tag has been placed on Palmer Candy Company requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Philosopher Let us reason together. 21:29, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tanegashima knife

The article Tanegashima knife has been nominated for deletion. Your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tanegashima knife would be welcome. I noticed that Japanese cutlery does not mention the Tanegashima knife. --Eastmain (talk) 00:59, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

Sorry but I m not japanese and I am very far to be an expert about Japanese cutlery. I've just added a photo from flikr. Have a good day. --Pixeltoo (talk) 22:28, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Dan Youra

I want to thank you for saving the Dan Youra article and trying to help keep the Olympic Peninsula Travel Association article from being torpedoed. I am new to Wiki world and am working hard to establish the notability of my articles and meet wiki criteria. If you could see it in your heart please review my work and let me know what I can do to prevent my work from being flushed. Jwsnyder101 (talk) 20:28, 29 April 2008

[edit] An Amusing AfD

Hello! I've enjoyed your input in the recent AfD discussions. I don't know if you saw this AfD debate, but it is one of the few that is genuinely amusing: [3]. Be well and keep up the good work! Ecoleetage (talk) 16:59, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletion of Dendrite International

A tag has been placed on Dendrite International requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a company or corporation, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for companies and corporations.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Rob Banzai (talk) 17:42, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] VPPPA

Did you notice that somebody reverted your removal of the copyvio in Voluntary Protection Programs Participants' Association, Inc. (VPPPA)? Phlegm Rooster (talk) 22:03, 30 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Sissonville High School

Despite what the article's title suggests, what I deleted was a one sentence article focused on a former student from the class of 2003 and an unofficial web forum that discussed the named school. If you or someone else desires to create an article about the school, there is nothing preventing you from creating such an article. --Allen3 talk 11:41, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] VPPPA

Why do you keep changing VPPPA page? I have permission from the creator of the VPPPA Web site to use some the verbiage. The stories you refernce are out of date and inaccurate. Please stop changing the page. Also, if it is still a copyright violation can we work together to make it so it is not a violation. I would like a full description of VPPPA and as I said I have permission from the creator of the Web site. How would I go about reflecting that? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.93.194.46 (talk) 14:04, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Answer on Afd message

Eastmain Hello! I agree that some articles may be more notable then what they appear to be, and the onus is on editors to source them. On the other hand, Living People on Wikipedia should have a higher standard then just Googlenews... for notability. My humble opinion. Thank you for your note. MBest-son (talk) 20:32, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Monovithya Kem

Hi Eastmain. I've deleted the above page per A7 but I see you were working on it. In your opinion, is there anything worth saving or should it stay deleted. Thanks, Ryan Postlethwaite 22:38, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] GE

Three recreations with identical (and prob copyright) text, deleted by three different admins. imho, the whole thrust of the article is promotional. Although I understand what you are suggesting, I'm not sure it's appropriate in this case. Jimfbleak (talk) 05:02, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Autobytel

Yes, from a google check I had known it was probably notable. However, the way it was written was too much like an advertisement. I was guessing that it would be recreated in a better way, and it looks like you proved me right. Good job. bibliomaniac15 Do I have your trust? 00:25, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] The Hero Status

Hi. I noticed that you removed the speedy tag from The Hero Status because there is "substantial coverage in reliable source". I'm not sure that a student-run website reporting a student band coming second in a battle of the bands competition is enough to establish notability so I'm thinking about taking it to AfD. Any thoughts? Cordless Larry (talk) 18:37, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

  • I changed my !vote. --Eastmain (talk) 05:31, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
Also, any thoughts on my comments about Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Westlake, County Londonderry above? Cordless Larry (talk) 18:39, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
  • You are probably right. Even if it does not qualify as a village, it may still be notable, though. I expect that there may have been substantial coverage in reliable sources about the planning, environmental and construction issues associated with this housing development, so it may be a notable subdivision. --Eastmain (talk) 05:31, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Schmidt Baking Company‎

You removed the speedy from this article by simply saying "Article asserts notability." It is a very short article that is sourced only by it's own website. Normally, that is not sufficient to show notability. I searched and couldn't find any qualified WP:RS to show it's a notable article subject. Would please explain what kind of notability you claim it asserts? Thank you. OccamzRazor (talk) 21:01, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

I see that you have added to the artcle to show notability. I have no arguement with it remaining. OccamzRazor (talk) 22:52, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Callide Power Station, Queensland

Thanks for your input on this power station in Queensland article but it wasn't very useful. I am not a resident of the US and have no local library barcode to provide so I can't read articles at accessmylibrary.com. I'm not sure of the exact policy but I don't think it is appropriate to add links including references, from sites requiring registration or payment, see WP:EL.

Also I only add inline citations when referencing material so that exact facts, statements, etc can be verified by others more easily and so that the significant information is contained within Wikipedia. My feeling is that almost anyone can do a quick google search and make a list of links, while adding content with relevant citations is more valuable. Also I never type in all capitals and convert copied text if needed so that the text is easy to read. - Shiftchange (talk) 06:08, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] 6th Infantry (Kampilan) Division

We really have a problem in works of the Philippine Gov't and this has been posted in WP:PINOY a hundred of times. Please bear with me on this one.

Sec 176 of the Philippine Intellectual Property Code says that prior approval from the gov't is needed if the works will be used for profit. I know that wiki is non-profit but mirrors such as Answers.com is for profit. I just thought that wiki shouldn't be a part in a sort of infringement as the Phil. govt. will surely want royalties (I interviewed a gov't lawyer before and I'm pretty sure that's what "prior approval" means). I think I'll go with the stubifying of the article if that solves the infringement.--Lenticel (talk) 00:52, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] AfD discussions and Google

Could you please read WP:AGF before leaving borderline-patronizing messages on other editors' Talk Pages? I checked Google before nominating Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ocean Forest Hotel and found nothing that I felt met WP's standards of notability. I happen to run Google searches before putting articles up for AfD consideration, so please don't assume otherwise. Ecoleetage (talk) 23:15, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

I question whether three repetitious articles from one local newspaper would qualify as notable, but I will leave that to the other editors to decide. In future, however, please reconsider how you approach people if you have questions about their judgment and contributions to this project. Ecoleetage (talk) 23:24, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Userpage impersonation

You may want to do something about this. Relates to this. Regards. Delicious carbuncle (talk) 12:56, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] User:CHINAwoMAN user page

There is something strange going on with the user page of this new user. He/she copied a portion of your user page including some of your awards. There is also an open sockpuppet case involving that user at Wikipedia:Suspected sock puppets/Oingoboing69. I am not sure what all this is about, but you might want to take a look into it and maybe comment in that sock case discussion. Also, although it is not customary for one user to edit another user's page, in this case it may not be a bad idea to do that and maybe blank the content of User:CHINAwoMAN's user page.

[edit] Adjusters International

The references (which I did look at) do not take away from the fact that this was obviously posted by someone within the organization for the sole purpose of promoting the company. This immediately goes to AfD. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 05:41, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Avondale

Way cool. Where'd you find the ref? I was coming up empty. Cheers, Dlohcierekim 02:37, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] David Yonan

Hi, i agree that he might be notable, but as the article stands, to me it's still just an ad for the author himself, and that's not NPOV. IMHO if it should stay, it needs a complete rewrite. If he were that notable, he didn't have to write it himself. But I appreciate your point of view, even though I dont agree. Kind regards, Shoombooly (talk) 02:09, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Portland Development Commission

Oh, it certainly doesn't qualify for speedy deletion now. A lot of folks probably wouldn't have bothered with the a1 in that context, but I take the position that I don't know whether there will be any efforts to improve what is there. At this point, I think the bigger issue is whether or not there should be an article about the commission. If what is there now is all that can really be said about it, merging the content is probably more appropriate. A complication arises there, though -- the Portland, Oregon article is way too big and needs to be split up. I'd think ideally, somebody will come in and do that work. In the process, this may end up getting merged somewhere. Erechtheus (talk) 03:49, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletion of Brittany Madelynn Daniels

A tag has been placed on Brittany Madelynn Daniels requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 03:53, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Education Management Corporation

Hi Eastmain, I saw your comment about the Education Management Corporation, I agree the organization is probably notable, however the article was a copyright violation, so I've deleted it. PhilKnight (talk) 00:18, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
