Disambiguation link notification for June 28

Hi. When you recently edited Craig Keeland, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Highland Park High School and Central Market (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Pluralist Generation

Hi,

I like the work you've done on Pluralist Generation. But I would like your opinion on whether we should merge it into the Generation Z page? They seem to be the same concept under a different name. Do you think that there should be separate articles for the names? Thanks for your ideas. Peregrine981 (talk) 10:17, 2 October 2012 (UTC)

Thank you. I responded on the Talk page of the article.HtownCat (talk) 16:42, 2 October 2012 (UTC)

Following up on our earlier conversation, I am glad we were able to come to some agreement about the way forward. But I should make clear that I do not think that the article is a suitable stand alone article as it currently stands. Unless it is changed in line with our conversation I think we should merge it with Generation Z. Since I'm still not sold on the idea that it should be stand alone at this point, I will leave that work to you, but I will not wait forever without beginning a formal merge procedure. Please let me know if you have any concerns. Best, Peregrine981 (talk) 10:01, 22 October 2012 (UTC)

You're right, I've taken too long. I got through some of the changes today and will continue. Thanks, HtownCat (talk) 23:43, 22 October 2012 (UTC)

Pluralist Generation

To respond to your query, I think the tag itself gives an explanation of what needs to be done. The sources indicate that this is a marketing concept, and no reliable sources I have seen indicate that it is the widely accepted term for this generation of people. The article should be adjusted to reflect that it's a marketing idea or a proposed name for the generation; it might be better to merge it, though, since it doesn't seem to have gained much traction on its own. --Batard0 (talk) 03:48, 25 October 2012 (UTC)

Request for comment

A discussion has been opened at Wikipedia:No_original_research/Noticeboard#Frank_L._VanderSloot, where all discussion should take place.

The questions are:

1. Based on the claim of Synthesis, should the original version or the revised version of the LGBT Section be used in the article from henceforth—of course with the ability to edit it as necessary?
2. Because the original "LGBT issues" Section adversely comments on a Living Person, should that section be immediately replaced with the revised section—of course with the ability to edit it as necessary?
3. Should the Sources identified as faulty or not germane be eliminated from the list of References?

A page you started has been reviewed!

Thanks for creating Ketan Rahangdale, HtownCat!

Wikipedia editor Dictioneer just reviewed your page, and wrote this note for you:

Well-sourced article about a living person (always tricky). Just a note, you were using an obsolete category (American Enterpreneurs has be replaced by American Businesspeople) which I took the liberty of correcting.

To reply, leave a comment on Dictioneer's talk page.

SYNTH and FRINGE

You added a synthesis to an article in one of your edits. For that synthesis you used a journal known for publishing pseudoscience. See WP:FRINGE and WP:SYNTH. IRWolfie- (talk) 00:56, 2 April 2013 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of US Federal Contractor Registration

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on US Federal Contractor Registration, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate, such as at articles for deletion. Under the specified criteria, where an article has substantially identical content to that of an article deleted after debate, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. Triplestop (talk) 06:20, 19 September 2013 (UTC)

As reviewing administrator, I decided not to delete it, but it will almost certainly be soon nominated for deletion. Theo nly thing that will really help much is additional good references. Of those you have, the first seems a good source, though Washington Business has sometimes been viewed here as very willing to publish press releases. The 2nd and 3rd are meme mentions. The 4th seems a press release--I'm not clear of the identity of the source. If you can add anything , do it promptly. DGG ( talk ) 22:55, 19 September 2013 (UTC)

I'll work on it. Thanks for your feedback and help. HtownCat (talk) 19:27, 20 September 2013 (UTC)

Nomination of Craig Keeland for deletion

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Craig Keeland is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Craig Keeland until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. DGG ( talk ) 01:57, 6 November 2013 (UTC)

PerspecSys

Sure, there are many badly sourced and promotional company articles that need help. Generally, anything unsourced can be deleted at any time. Another thing to do is at least list things as a list in a prose sentence instead of bullets. What I find works is to see if there are any really notable and sourced partnerships and add prose of the form:

In January 2008 PerspecSys announced that [[Big Company]] agreed to but $3 billion of its products.<ref>{{Cite source}}</ref>

There might not be any such deals that were notable enough for some independent source (like the trade press at least) to write about it. Not sure, would take some searching. Generally everything should be dated and sourced. Thanks for any work on these. W Nowicki (talk) 00:24, 20 November 2013 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of KeyedIn Solutions

The article KeyedIn Solutions has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Fails the notability guideline for companies.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages 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 page 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.
