January 2008

Hi, the recent edit you made to Wikipedia:Articles for creation/2007-12-20 has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thanks.

Repost of Vivicca A. Whitsett

A tag has been placed on Vivicca A. Whitsett requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia, because it appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion process. If you can indicate how it is different from the previously posted material, place the template {{hangon}} underneath the other template on the article and put a note on the page's discussion page saying why this article should stay. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. If you believe the original discussion was unjustified, please contact the administrator who deleted the page or use deletion review instead of continuing to recreate the page. Thank you.

Your draft article

I have moved your draft article away from this talk page into a user sub-page of its own at User:2tall4u2/Vivicca Whitsett and tidied it up a little, as much as I had time for. As it was deleted at a deletion discussion, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Vivicca A. Whitsett, it can't just be restored: you will have to approach user Cirt (talk), the administrator who closed the discussion, and ask him to look at this draft and see whether he agrees that the extra sources overcome the reasons for deletion. If he does not agree, you can take it to WP:Deletion review.

One thing I need to say: from your message I gather you are Vivicca Whitsett. You should know that writing about oneself here is strongly discouraged, for reasons explained at WP:Autobiography. That need not stop you, and your article is not nearly as promotional as many autobiographies we get, but you should read WP:Best practices for editors with conflicts of interest, and if it is agreed that you can go ahead you should propose the article at WP:Articles for creation, declaring your interest, rather than posting it yourself.

Proposed deletion of Vivicca whitsett

The article Vivicca whitsett has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Apparent resume posting; subject seems to fail WP:NACTOR.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Reposting of apparent COI material

I didn't notice this had been previously deleted, and I agree with the editors above who believe you need to go through the deleting editor with an updated draft. Wikipedia is not the place to post resume information. I've seen conflict of interest cases where some of the material did stay on the pedia. Here's an example: Robert Petkoff. See my discussion with that COI editor here and in the sections after: User talk:Cwands#Dealing with the re-write. Good luck. If I can help, post here for assistance. BusterD (talk) 21:56, 7 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Here's an example of the kind of source which is likely to put the subject past the bar of notability. That your page has been deleted doesn't help any. BusterD (talk) 22:04, 7 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Another and another. This can help. Really need reviews of the work. BusterD (talk) 22:12, 7 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

IMHO, the reasons this keeps getting deleted are 1) the subject is of borderline notability (as we measure such here), and 2) we lack a number of reliable sources independent of the subject. Not all entertainers are notable enough to be included in an encyclopedia. We can easily verify the subject exists and we can verify certain aspects of the subject's biography. Unfortunately, we need more coverage in order to satisfy WP:GNG or WP:NACTOR. The basic criteria is "multiple independent reliable sources directly detailing the subject." I'd like to find some interviews, for example, or a profile in a magazine. To my mind, the SAG stuff is significant. Heck, I'm impressed by anyone who can make a living as a working actor; I know lots of talented, accomplished folks who barely scrape by. But for other actors to select one as a representative to SAG, that demonstrates respect inside the biz. So if I were trying to help keep the article, that's where I'd focus my attention with sources. In addition, I'd be looking for the aforementioned interviews/profiles. Finally, I'd love to find reviews of performances in live venues or of tv episodes in which the subject appeared. Armed with a collection of roughly 5 or 6 of any or all of those, a decent biography could be anchored. Without them, I'm afraid other editors might find this subject doesn't sufficiently fulfill the notability guidelines linked above. BusterD (talk) 02:54, 8 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
