[edit] Celebrities Worldwide

I've added the "{{prod}}" template to the article Celebrities Worldwide, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but I don't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia, or, if you disagree, discuss the issues raised at Talk:Celebrities Worldwide. If you remove the {{dated prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. --Bugwit Speak / Spoken 14:28, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Regarding your Celebrities Worldwide Exlusion Protest

The following is a copy of my response to your comment on my talk page:

• The article is written in such a way as to present itself as nothing more than an advertisement for the contact service. See WP:SPAM for more information. If you can rewrite the article so that it does not come across as a promotional piece, and provide some verifiable sources that establish notability and importance, I'll be happy to reconsider my position. You are also welcome to remove the {{PROD}} tag if you feel that I have acted hastily. However, if the tag is removed with the article in its current state, it will likely be brought to Articles for Deletion discussion, where other editors will likely hold the same position as I do. --Bugwit Speak / Spoken 14:52, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

• As I detailed in my previous response, the primary issue that I have with the article is its promotional tone. The point I was making regarding the use of the names of Tom Cruise and David Beckham is that I believe that the names were used in order to associate their names with the company, when in fact there is no evidence provided that either of them are actually associated with the company. The article should be written in with a neutral point of view in order to avoid sounding like an advertisement. The comparison of this article to articles about Nike, McDonald's, and Wal-Mart doesn't really help much. The articles are definitely not written in a promotional fashion. In fact, the Wal-Mart and Nike articles contain quite a bit of information which is negative. These are giant companies that are clearly notable. It would be very difficult to argue that the articles on these companies should be deleted due to the fact that articles such as Celebrities Worldwide have been proposed for deletion. Once again, you are perfectly welcome to remove the {{PROD}} tag if you feel that I am wrong on this issue (I am just another editor like yourself, not an admin), but I don't believe that the article would survive in its current state if it were to go to Articles for deletion. You might want to take a look at some of the guidelines and policies I have mentioned (highlighted) to get a better feel for what should be included compared to what should not be included. --Bugwit Speak / Spoken 17:26, 27 July 2006 (UTC)

Please refrain from adding nonsense to Wikipedia, as you did to UPFRONT TV. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Diagonalfish 13:06, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

Well, for one thing, Wikipedia is not a linkfarm. But my main reason for the revert was the example link that you (perhaps accidentally, I realize) stuck in the middle of the AfD template, which is a no-no. Diagonalfish 13:51, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
