[edit] Notability of Norway Corporation Repertory Company

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Norway Corporation Repertory Company, by I (talk ยท contribs), another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Norway Corporation Repertory Company seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, 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 assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Norway Corporation Repertory Company, 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 21:39, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

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.

[edit] WP:MOS

Peter, will you kindly quit undoing my fixes to Norway Corporation. The appearance of articles is determined by the manual of style. I'm trying to help you, to make your article conform to those standards; but you're just undoing my changes. Don't go complaining on the help desk that your stuff gets deleted when you're not willing to cooperate with other editors. -- Finlay McWalter | Talk 22:45, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Regarding my revisions

I had written what I had written without full knowledge of the MOS. I apologize for any conflicts or misunderstandings that this might have caused.

For the record, my personal name is Parker, not Peter. That is, admittedly, a common mistake.

Oops, sorry, too much spiderman. -- Finlay McWalter | Talk 22:56, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Norway Corporation Repertory Company

When I wrote about Norway Corporation, Gene Roddenberry's company, I used the unofficial reference of Norway Corporation Repertory Company for all actors and actresses who had acted out roles in works directly connected to Roddenberry's authorship or production.

I might very well have lost any permission to discuss the reference in a wiki article myself, but I'm not averse to anyone else writing such an article.

[edit] Partridge Family FAQ?

Can anyone else editing The Partridge Family include a list of Frequently Asked Questions in regard to it?

Those who can do that have my thanx. Parker Gabriel 01:04, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Parker please make sure that you contribute information that is correct and necessary. The changes you made to this article were largely damaging, and those that weren't were simply uneccesary. (ie: "Together" was not the recording they made in the pilot, there was no such person as Brian Partridge, etc.) Please trust that the information in this article is accurate and true to the program, and avoid re-arranging sections that are already well-formed. As far as adding a "Frequently Asked Questions" section, you are welcome to do that but please honor the articles integrity. Thank you for your help dear.

[edit] Only Victims

I had found one credit from Robert Vaughn to be sadly overlooked--his having written Only Victims: A Study Of Show Business Blacklisting. I believed that any failure to refer to that would be remiss, and so I remedied that flaw. Parker Gabriel 23:11, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Why "serial vanishers" may be relevant, especially to the FBI

I have seen several installments of Without A Trace, the television series program about Federal Bureau of Investigation personnel who track down missing persons, and have been considering the possibility of persons who deliberately disappear more than once--"serial vanishers," who force the FBI to waste valuable time, effort, and resources human and otherwise in tracking them down, only to discover that those persons had already deliberately disappeared again before they could be found.

When Adam Walsh was abducted, his father, John Walsh, was aggrieved and enraged enough at what eventually happened to his only son to, in time, become the relentless pursuer of fugitives that he became. Daniel J. Travanti, impersonating him in the made-for-TV film Adam, noted in one of his lines of dialogue, "The police can help you find your stolen truck, but not your stolen child?"

But what if that child did not WANT to be found in the first place? What if he, or she, in order not to be found, kept disappearing from sight time after time and again and again?

That was what motivated my contribution on serial vanishers, and I apologize if I made it in violation of Wikipedia's guidelines. Parker Gabriel (talk) 05:31, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
