Sommer Nectarhoff

My proposed page for author Sommer Nectarhoff was recently deleted after the recommended changes were made: journalistic, researched sources were added. I am confused as to what steps must be made for the page to be put back up. Writerlier (talk) 20:14, 3 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Writerlier: The problem with your article is that you have not provided, nor could anyone find, sufficient coverage in indepenednt reliable sources to demonstrate notablility. What that means is coverage in major newspapers/magazines etc, not coverage in blogs, school papers, podcasts, user generated reviews etc. The coverage must be unrelated to press releases or PR campaigns and must be significant. Usually that means several paragraphs of coverage in 3-4 articles which appear in at least regional newspapers. In addition to this, self published books are inherently non-notable as is self publishing a book so until he publishes his works at a real publisher, the kind that pay advances rather than are paid by the author, there is no real chance of him passing the notability criteria for authors. Read the blue links that have been mentioned in the AfD's and here, they explain things in more detail. Jbh ^Talk 16:46, 5 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

If I am beating a dead horse please tell me.

I do not hide the fact that I think Rick Ross is on Wikipedia to promote his business. But even I am a bit shocked at this. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk:Steven_Hassan&action=history. He has spent months getting wearing others down getting them to edit his own article his liking but now he is going after a business competitor using other editors as a proxy. To me this must be crossing some kind of line. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/Rick_Alan_Ross. I fully realize you may be sick of it, but I am still wondering what you think.

Given your stated interest, I really would appreciate it if you would take a look at my proposal there and comment on it. --Tryptofish (talk) 00:00, 31 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
