Proposed deletion of Phebe Seaman House

The article Phebe Seaman House has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Unreferenced; zero mentions of this online so unclear whether it really exists; claims of notability and age appear to be WP:Original research, non-notable per WP:GNG even if they are true.

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.

JohnDHaynes, I really think you should have a look at that discussion. There may be useful advice in there for you, and taking the proper course of action now will probably prevent future problems (such as edit-warring). Thank you, Drmies (talk) 20:45, 19 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, the username you have chosen (JohnDHaynes) seems to imply that you are editing on behalf of a group, company or website.

There are two issues with this:

It is possible that you have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, you must exercise great caution when editing on topics related to your organization.
Your account cannot represent a group of people. You may wish to create a new account with a username that represents only you. Alternatively, you may consider changing your username to avoid giving the impression that your personal account is being used for promotional purposes.

Regardless of whether you change your name or create a new account, you are not exempted from the guidelines concerning editing where you have a conflict of interest. For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. The article in question is John and Dorothy Haynes House. Thank you.JohnDHaynes]] SarekOfVulcan (talk) 04:29, 20 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hello JohnDHaynes. If you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article John D. Haynes House, you may have a conflict of interest or close connection to the subject.

All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about following the reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.

If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:

Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.

Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames that give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; you are welcome to create a new account with a username that represents only you. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline. If your username doesn't represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}} below this notice. Thank you.

Your recent edits could give Wikipedia contributors the impression that you may consider legal or other "off-wiki" action against them, or against Wikipedia itself. Please note that making such threats on Wikipedia is strictly prohibited under Wikipedia's policies on legal threats and civility. Users who make such threats may be blocked. If you have a dispute with the content of any page on Wikipedia, please follow the proper channels for dispute resolution. Please be sure to comment on content not contributors, and where possible make specific suggestions for changes supported by reliable independent sources and focusing especially on verifiable errors of fact. Thank you. gwickwire^talk_editing 19:49, 30 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

This is your last warning; the next time you disrupt Wikipedia, as you did at National Register of Historic Places listings in Allen County, Indiana with this edit, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. RA0808 ^talk _contribs 20:02, 30 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Mr. Haynes. I haven't looked into the situation too far, but I do see that there has been an amount of confusing information on this page. If you would like a hand in the matter, try using the contact us option at the bottom of every page. If you would like to send an email to info-en-qwikimedia.org, marking it for the attention of Dave Craven, I'm sure I'll be able to help out. Worm^TT(talk) 13:04, 2 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
