Speedy deletion nomination of A Squared Anti-Malware

A tag has been placed on A Squared Anti-Malware requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, "See also" section, book reference, category tag, template tag, interwiki link, rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. ttonyb1 (talk) 03:19, 4 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello I am trying to create an article but wikipedia is not making it easy for me! I cannot upload any images to back me up because I am not autoconfirmed. Also, still adding so please revert your edit. DominatorMatrix (talk) 03:22, 4 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia currently has articles for other well known anti-virus software, such as Avast! and AVG. I don't see why this has to be deleted as well. Wandering Traveler 03:28, 4 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Edit Summaries

Please try to tone down the profanity. Those summaries stay in the article's history and are viewable to the public. Thanks. Law_{type! snype?} 04:07, 4 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Will do. Dominator Matrix 04:23, 4 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned non-free image File:Panda Cloud Antivirus Main.jpg

⚠

Thanks for uploading File:Panda Cloud Antivirus Main.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of "file" pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

blogs

Unless policy has changed in some particular way, we don't generally use blogs as reliable sources. Is there any reason why you think this is not the case here? Are you connected with this blog? Are you aware of our policies on Reliable Sources? --Cameron Scott (talk) 10:06, 21 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Looking at your userpage, it is your blog - you should not add links to your own blog, leaving aside the Reliable source problems, this is a clear conflict of interest. If you persist in adding links to your own blog, it is likely you will be blocked. --Cameron Scott (talk) 10:10, 21 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

(edit conflict)x3 Since the blog has been up for 6+ months, has over 1,000 articles I think it's reliable. As if it wasn't it would have been pulled by now. Yes I am...It's mine but no COI. And yes I am aware of the Reliable Sources. I would have no reason to create mistrust on the internet. Nor is it self promotion. --Dominator Matrix 10:12, 21 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

How can there be no Conflict of interest, if it is your blog? Do you understand what conflict of interest means? I don't know how more simply to put this - don't add links to your own blog, it's not allowed. Please read our policies on Reliable Sources and Conflict of Interest. How long it has been up or how many articles you have written are irrelevant. --Cameron Scott (talk) 10:17, 21 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I am in no position for authority on wikipedia. As such it is utterly impossible for me to have a COI if I post a link to my blog(s) on wikipedia if they serve a/the purpose. Please read 3.2 of NPA, as you are violating it. --Dominator Matrix 10:23, 21 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have no idea what you are talking about - you don't seem to understand what Conflict of Interest means on wikipedia - it has nothing to do with your authority on wikipedia - it is concerned with people adding content or links in areas where they have a connection. Adding a link to a blog you own and write is a clear conflict of interest as we define it. If you are unhappy with my analysis, I suggest you pop over to AN/I and tell them that someone is stopping you using your personal blog as reference for an article and see what the response is. Also it is not a NPA to point out to someone that they have a clear COI. --Cameron Scott (talk) 10:30, 21 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"This policy does not prohibit editors with specialist knowledge from adding their knowledge to Wikipedia, but it does prohibit them from drawing on their personal knowledge without citing reliable sources. If an editor has published the results of his or her research in a reliable publication, the editor may cite that source while writing in the third person and complying with our neutrality policy. See also Wikipedia's guidelines on conflict of interest. seen here. --Dominator Matrix 10:39, 21 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

And what reliable source is your analysis published in (hint: Your own blog is not a reliable source)? Where are you acknowledged as expert on anti-virus software? --Cameron Scott (talk) 10:41, 21 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Again you are violating NPA (claiming a source is unreliable because I own it). Most blogs may not be used as sources but mine is reliable since it is free of bias, it's age, and other factors which you continue to ignore. I am trying to do this peacefully so please try taking my side into account as I am yours. There is no place to become a "expert on anti-virus software". I do although have a great deal of knowledge of computers, software, and such that would make me the expert in that "field". --Dominator Matrix 10:47, 21 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have published in peer reviewed journals on the type of information seeking behaviour - I could if I wanted add these to articles on information seeking behaviour because I am an acknowledge expert in that area. I also write a blog about comics, I could not add these to articles as I am not an acknowledged expert on comics either though I know that I know as much about comics as I do about information seeking behaviour - nobody has acknowledged me as an expert in this area. Again, this it does not violate NPA to point this out to you, a personal attack would be "you are a fuckhead and must stop this shit" that is a personal attack as we define it, saying "I think your actions here viloate our policies on RS and COI because..." is not a personal attack. As far as I am concerned this conversation is now over - you are either unable to unwilling to understand what you are being told so it is not a productive use of my time. So let me finish with this, I will remove your blog if I see you attempt to re-add it, if you are unhappy with this, I suggest you take the problem to either - AN/I (The Administator's noticeboard) or the RS board or the COI board. All of these boards will tell you the same things I have been telling you.

With that, I bid you good day and take my leave of you. --Cameron Scott (talk) 10:59, 21 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Gabriel Weinberg

A tag has been placed on Gabriel Weinberg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
