[edit] Discussion

While using the talk page of the article in question to solve a dispute is encouraged to involve a larger audience, feel free to discuss the case below if that is not possible. Other mediators are also encouraged to join in on the discussion as Wikipedia is based on consensus.

I'm not sure a dispute is actual taking place here, and I suggest this case should be closed. I suggest the rquester reads WP:N, and if he believes the articles are in breach of the notability policies, he should send them to WP:AFD. Computerjoe 's talk 18:10, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Metropolis (Japanese magazine) survived an AfD: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Metropolis (Japanese magazine); Crisscross has never been nominated, although it doesn't seem to meet WP:N - I therefore just added {{notability}}; National Union of General Workers seems notable to me. With that, I think we can close it, especially since the requestor has not replied to Computerjoe's proposal. — Sebastian 09:51, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

I was awaiting a reply via email. Wanzhen 07:11, 5 January 2007 (UTC) 03:49, 5 January 2007 (UTC).

I read over the suggested material above and it seems that the Metropolis (Magazine) entry qualifies as "blatant advertising" for a speedy deletion. So, I inserted the tag onto that page, but within a few hours, the tag has been removed and the page is still the same. The previous AfD deletion discussion regarding Metropolis (Magazine) failed to consider that the author of the article is also the owner of the magazine. With this in mind, it is obvious that it is blatant advertising and should be deleted. Wanzhen 07:11, 5 January 2007 (UTC) 07:10, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

I am sorry, I am very busy with other mediations and events now. It is your responsibility to watch a page when you find it important. Computerjoe replied to you the day after you posted here. The fact that you didn't look at this page for over one month after you posted here leads me to the conclusion that you didn't care enough. This case is closed, if you disagree you can ask for a third opinion or open another case, but please refer to this one. — Sebastian 04:52, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
