[edit] Article is up for deletion

Hello and thank you for taking the time to create Digital Nitrate Prize. However I was unable to find any mention of it in Google, Yahoo, or Ask.com. You may comment on this page. This is nothing personal and I encourage you to copy the text of the current article into a text document so when the prize does exist you can create the article again. See Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Digital_Nitrate_Prize --Mboverload 06:24, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

Hello. Thank you for the comments, and I hope I'm answering them properly. The Prize is genuine and it is only recently formed, so you will find few mentions in Google since it takes so long to promulgate! However, if you want to search the archives of the AMIA mailing list, you'll find endless discussions about the criteria for the prize, etc. Much of the correspondence is private, but if you're really interested it can be found.

[edit] Help requested

Hello. How can I help you? Henrik 18:29, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

Hi. Thanks for answering so quickly!

Let me be a little schematic: 1) Is this the right place to answer you? 2) If not... where? how? 3) Is this the right form? 4) How do I deal with "deletion requests." I've posted an accurate article and a few people are questioning it, but I'm not sure the correct way to answer/deal with it.

Thank you. :-) Movieresearch 18:51, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

Yep, this is the right place. You can sign your posts by typing ~~~~ at the end, which will help people know who wrote what. While I personally find Digital Nitrate Prize interesting, it may not be suitable for inclusion in wikipedia yet even though it is accurate - The concerns people have with it on the deletion vote page mostly boil down to that it is too new; it doesn't have any verifiable sources any depicts events that hasn't occured yet (as the prize is still in development, if I've understood things correctly?). If you have any third party, reliable sources, such as an article from a newspaper or something similar, please mention that here. Even though it may be deleted now, don't worry - if you in the future can make it meet wikipedias inclusion criteria, it can be recreated. I hope this helps! Henrik 18:52, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] The Digital Nitrate Prize

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on The Digital Nitrate Prize, by Seattlenow (talk · contribs), another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because The Digital Nitrate Prize fits the criteria for speedy deletion for the following reason:

recreated AfD'd content


To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting The Digital Nitrate Prize, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself. --Android Mouse Bot 2 21:09, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

I am not an admin, so I can not delete any articles. The issue of whether the topic should have a Wikipedia article has been raised twice, and the consensus was to delete in both cases--Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Digital Nitrate Prize (2nd nomination). If you have new information that wasn't raised during the AfD discussions, or feel the deletion somehow violated Wikipedia:Deletion policy, you can raise the issue at Wikipedia:Deletion review. Seattlenow 18:40, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WARNING!

You are in violation of Wikipedia policy for re-creating an article which was deleted through an article-for-deletion discussion. Your article has again been marked for deletion. If you persist in re-creating this article, you will be blocked for vandalism.

This is your last warning.
The next time you create an inappropriate page, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Realkyhick 18:05, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Reply to Digital Nitrate Prize deletion

The "Digital Nitrate Prize" may be a sincere and legitimate operation, but that alone does not make it a candidate for inclusion on Wikipedia. One criterion is whether it is notable. When I search Google for "digital nitrate prize", I find a number of web-sites but there are predominately (if not all) self-publicity; there appears to be very little independent third-party material about this. Despite that you said to me, its only listed sponsor is the Buffalo International Film Festival - which is, I believe, also one of your creations. I'm not doubting its existence as a charity, but its notability seems limited to self-created web-site entries, blogs, circularly-referential sites, etc. I can find little independent evidence for it. My view would be that again this is an attempt at self-publicity. Edward Summer's biography on Wikipedia is also bordering on show business hyperbole: is it really necessary to list 16 different occupations? His numerous minor activities as listed by IMDb hardly make him out to be a truly notable person in the film industry! -- MightyWarrior 17:32, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for your reply. For your information, I am not the "gatekeeper" for Wikipedia: decisions are taken by consensus (which is the reason for debates such as AfD). The requirements taken into consideration when the community decides whether to delete an article (and for other decisions) are to be found in the Wikipedia Policies and Guidelines. As I mentioned above, one of these is notability - I think it was this guideline that the above article appeared not to meet. Articles are not owned by anyone in particular, so it is not a personal attack on you or the movie industry. The best place to ask any additional questions that you have is probably the Wikipedia Helpdesk - there should be more experienced editors than me there to assist you. You may also wish to look at the welcome page. -- MightyWarrior 19:50, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
I've also had a look at the external AMIA web-site, as you suggested. I can find no indication that the AMIA itself endorses or supports the Digital Nitrate Prize. There are a number of announcements made by Edward Summer in the public archive of their list server together with a small number of replies - but because this is self-promotion I don't believe that it counts as independent evidence. The above guidelines and policies will tell you what the Wikipedia community consider to be independent references for the purposes of establishing the notability (or not) of an article's topic. You also asked about the NYT: possibly the following quotes from the above linked policy are relevant: In general, the most reliable sources are peer-reviewed journals and books published in university presses; university-level textbooks; magazines, journals, and books published by respected publishing houses; and mainstream newspapers. As a rule of thumb, the greater the degree of scrutiny involved in checking facts, analyzing legal issues, and scrutinizing the evidence and arguments of a particular work, the more reliable it is., and: Anyone can create a website or pay to have a book published, then claim to be an expert in a certain field. For that reason, self-published books, personal websites, and blogs are largely not acceptable as sources. -- MightyWarrior 20:15, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
