Speedy deletion of Chris Schreiner[edit]

A tag has been placed on Chris Schreiner 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 notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance 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.

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 (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 article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. — HelloAnnyong ^{(say whaaat?!)} 17:15, 26 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there. Do you happen to have an existing relationship with the subject of this article? If so, per our policy on conflicts of interest, you should strongly consider avoiding editing on the topic. Thanks, --Bfigura ^(talk) 23:03, 8 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The problem here is that you shouldn't be creating articles for anyone you're involved with or work with. (Our policy on this, detailed here, has more on this). However, that said, it does appear that you're creating a reasonably neutral (if somewhat overly favorable) article. The one critique I have is that it doesn't really incorporate enough third-party reliable sources. Basically, you find to find mainstream articles (newspaper articles, not PR stuff) that talks about him in a non-trivial, detailed way. Ie, you can't rely on the charity's webpage as a source, you need to another source that discusses the charity / Chris

There's also another issue, in that usernames (for legal licensing reasons) are only allowed to be tied to one person. (This creates some problems when you create something for someone else, which is why we don't allow this: ie, you just legally claimed ownership of his ideas. I'm not sure what the best remedy this would be, other than to have him edit under his own account). Also, your username seems to be your company's name, so if this account is shared, you should create another account for your sole use. If not, that's fine (although if you repeatedly were to edit from that account on subjects tied to the company, the account might be blocked as a promotional account). Hope this helps, and if there's more questions, let me know. --Bfigura ^(talk) 01:11, 9 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Haven't had time to read that yet, although I will once off of work. But in the future, you may not wish to post personal info (phone numbers, emails) for privacy reasons. I've already redacted the information in this (and previous) cases. It would also be possible for you have your edits removed via WP:OVERSIGHT, which permanently deletes the revisions from Wikipedia, but it's up to you as to whether you'd like that done. (Directions are on how to do that are here) --Bfigura ^(talk) 15:32, 9 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

After a bit of thought, I've already filed a request for oversight, which I imagine will be approved. Just wanted to let you know. Best, --Bfigura ^(talk) 15:44, 9 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, so I've had a chance to read through the letter from Scott, and I agree, there's probably enough reliable sources out there to create an article. (And I think you're doing a good job of writing a fairly neutral one so far). My only concern is the license issue (see WP:NOSHARE). But so long as you're writing material, and not just transcribing an article someone else has typed up, I think you're ok. And as a PS, the oversight has been carried out, so Scott's info should be ok. --Bfigura ^(talk) 23:20, 9 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]
