[edit] Scammo

A tag has been placed on Scammo, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article 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 Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is notable, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add {{hangon}} on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. -- nae'blis 23:03, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Please refrain from creating inappropriate pages such as Scammo. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the sandbox. Sorry, if you refuse to tell us who your sources are, you don't get an article. NawlinWiki 17:36, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

I will gladly tell you who my sources are, but I am not allowed to place the names in a section where public eyes may see these names, this is contractual —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Tynedock (talk • contribs) 12:38, December 15, 2006 (UTC)

It's not acceptable to have "secret" sources, because they must be verifiable by our readers in order to trust/verify the information. Offline sources are fine, provided they are accessible to others. If you're talking about contractual discussion with Scammo as you are paid by him, that would represent a conflict of interest which would raise additional barriers to you creating an article for him. We rely primarily on disinterested editors providing neutral, factual edits to build this encyclopedia. Partisans and employees represent a conflict to that goal, most times. -- nae'blis 06:20, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
