[edit] Re:Thank You

Well it is not my decision, it is the Wikipedia community's decision. When an article have more opposition to delete than support to delete or vise versa, than an administrator will close the discussion depending on what is the majority vote. I just recommend writing the article in a NPOV.--TrUCo9311 21:05, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Re:GossipReport.com

Hi, I'm sorry I wasn't able to get back to you sooner. I'm in an opera production that opens in two weeks and needless to say that has been taking up all of my free time, so I haven't been on Wikipedia as much. Anywho, to explain my thought process, I nominated GossipReport.com for deletion for two reasons:

  1. Although the article does have a good ammount of linked sources, many of them only reference GossipReport. For a source to be considered reliable and non trivial, it needs to actually cover the subject of the article, not simply reference it. See WP:N for more information about what constitutes a non-trivial source.
  2. I felt the tone of the article was more promotional than is appropriate for an encyclopedia article (I refer to this as "spammy"). I did not say that the article was blantant advertising (had this been the case, I would have nominated it for speedy deletion) I just felt it wasn't objective enough in its current form.

Please realize that I am only one Wikipedia editor with one opinion. I don't ultimately decide whether an article is deleted or not, the community does that via way of forming a consensus on the deletion discussion page. As of right now, it appears that unless a lot of contributors start commenting that they want deletion really soon, the discussion will close as no consensus. However, it can be relisted for deletion by another editor at any time. If you want to ensure that GossipReport.com is not deleted, see if you can add some additional non trivial sources (see the guidelines in WP:SOURCES). Also, make sure that the tone of the article is appropriate for an encyclopedia article, i.e. that it is written with a neutral point of view and is objective. Taking the article to peer review is an excellent idea if you want guidance with these issues.

I hope this answers your questions. Cheers! Mr Senseless (talk) 19:56, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also click on the signature button Image:Signature_icon.png located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 20:58, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
