Welcome

Welcome!

Hello, Elituchy, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of your edits have not conformed to Wikipedia's Neutral Point of View policy (NPOV), and have been reverted. Wikipedia articles should refer only to facts and interpretations that have been stated in print or on reputable websites or other forms of media.

There's a page about the NPOV policy that has tips on how to effectively write about disparate points of view without compromising the NPOV status of the article as a whole. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Where to ask a question or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! Toddst1 16:38, 2 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

November 2007

You should wait for others to write an article about subjects in which you are personally involved, as you did at Delightful Deliveries‎ . This applies to articles about you, your achievements, your band, your business, your publications, your website, your relatives, and any other possible conflict of interest.

Creating an article about yourself is strongly discouraged. If you create such an article, it might be listed on articles for deletion. Deletion is not certain, but many feel strongly that you should not start articles about yourself. This is because independent creation encourages independent validation of both significance and verifiability. All edits to articles must conform to Wikipedia:No original research, Wikipedia:Neutral point of view, and Wikipedia:Verifiability.

If you are not "notable" under Wikipedia guidelines, creating an article about yourself may violate the policy that Wikipedia is not a personal webspace provider and would thus qualify for speedy deletion. If your achievements, etc., are verifiable and genuinely notable, and thus suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later. (See Wikipedia:Wikipedians with articles.) Thank you. Toddst1 16:38, 2 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Visual commerce

The article Visual commerce has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

NN neologism and dicdef

While all constructive 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.

Article has been improved. Ravenswing - thanks for your input, but I do not think this is neologism or dicdef. This entry is to tell how a new industry was born and give insights into the business of visual commerce. Elituchy (talk) 21:00, 13 April 2015 (UTC)Elituchy[reply]

Reasons

"I do not think this is neologism", you said.

You don't understand what a "neologism" is. What your article said was "this is a phrase which I — E. Lituchy — invented! Here's what I say it means! Here's a press release from my own company in which I used the term! Here are a bunch of other companies whose business model includes (the idea which I say my phrase describes) !" There is nothing here that indicates notability. You cannot make something notable, you can only show that it is notable. And because this is Your! Phrase! that You! Invented!, you inherently have a conflict of interest, because everyone wants to believe that they themselves are Important! And! Successful!, which means that George Fakename is the worst possible person to decide that George Fakename is notable.

"Notability" refers to the amount of independent media coverage that something has — the extent to which it's been taken note of. "Independent" means that press releases don't count. If nobody else uses your term, then it is not successful and has not become part of the language and cannot be the subject of an article on Wikipedia. This is why it was removed. You might say that you know it will be successful and will become a widely-used part of the language, but if you know the future, why aren't you buying lottery tickets and warning people about earthquakes?

You cannot make your phrase better known by putting it on Wikipedia. You cannot make it notable. Does anyone else use your term without having a financial stake in the term's popularity? Have major media sources discussed your phrase at all, much less in terms of who invented it? If yes, then you should have said so. If not, then that's why it can't be on Wikipedia. You might say that how else is anyone supposed to learn about the term and use it if not through Wikipedia, but if it's acceptable to invent new terms and popularize them through Wikipedia, how come I can't invent a new meaning for "Lituchy" and popularize it through Wikipedia?

Have I made myself clear, or do you need more details? DS (talk) 12:57, 7 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
