September 2011

Please do not write an article about yourself. Creating an autobiography is strongly discouraged – see our guideline Writing autobiographies. If you create such an article, it may be deleted. If what you have done in life is genuinely notable and can be verified according to our policy for articles about living people, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later. (See Wikipedians with articles.) Please understand that this is an encyclopedia and not a personal web space or social networking site. If your article has already been deleted, please see Why was my page deleted?, and if you feel the deletion was an error, please discuss it with the deleting administrator. Thank you. I think the lack of response to your proposed article is simply that the majority of editors do not consider it good form to write an article about yourself. It really is a good plan to wait until you are notable enough for someone else to do it. Kind regards Theroadislong (talk) 21:55, 27 September 2011 (UTC)

Obviously I disagree and I am following precisely the route laid out in Wikipedia for doing so - yes a hard hill to climb, but I am doing it "by the book." This is not an effort in social networking, I have plenty of that. While it is generally "not in good form" to do so, Wikipdia does in fact provide for doing so with certain requirements. Unfortunately no one will read the darn thing to see if it meets those requirements. Lastly, I have kept it in a discussion space, not article space, in order to get feedback, not admonishments.Austex • Talk 22:09, 27 September 2011 (UTC)

I'm not sure which route you are following but WP:YOURSELF makes it fairly clear that you will have an uphill struggle! Good luck.Theroadislong (talk) 22:20, 27 September 2011 (UTC)

Theroadislong - I am following WIKIPEDIA policy (route). Not something I simply made up! You should know that there is a policy for this and I am following it as carefully as I can. Austex • Talk 22:32, 27 September 2011 (UTC)

Theroadislong - you talk about "our" policy and "our" guidelines like you are the arbiter on behalf of Wikipdia. ANd you refer to "Creating an autobiography is strongly discouraged – see our guideline." Of course I have read that, and have read it carefully. Here are some of the reasons I think I am meeting those standards (and am requesting help):

• First, the Wikipedia WP:BIO section on notability says "A topic is presumed to be notable if it has received significant coverage in reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject." As you can see, the new bio has been much more extensively cited with just these kinds of references since the original draft. The current article has 53 truly excellent, independent, verifiable, high-quality citations.

• Secondly, in WP:BIO, the number one criteria says '"A person is presumed to be notable if he or she has been the subject of multiple published articlceswhich are reliable, and independent of each other." I HAVE NOW PROVIDED FOUR SUCH BIO ARTICLES. NOT EVEN ONE OF WHICH WERE INCLUDED IN THE ORIGINAL DON MARTIN ARTICLE. I am really working hard to establish true notability and I hope you will look at these actual bio articles and not just say editors will not even look at it becuse it is autobiographical.

• Third, Wikipedia policy says: "The proper way to get your own writing about yourself in if you really think you can meet the inclusion criteria . . . is to make a proposal containing the text you want, instead of just putting it up directly, and seek the consensus of the community through discussion. Not only does this provide independent viewpoints on it that can allow you to discover biases you were not aware of having, it also helps provide an indication of good faith and that you are willing to put the interests of Wikipedia first instead of standing in a position of conflict of interest. That is why I am offered this article on a subpage first for feedback and comment rather than moving it immediately to article space. So far, however, I have received absolutely no openly constructive edits, suggestions or assistance per "our" guidleines and policies, which would help me to make it better or to better meet notabiity requirements.

• Lastly, Wikipedia policy says that "the definition of what is valid for purposes of notability should be very broad." I would be most appreciative if you would assume good faith on my part and recognize that I am making a careful and hopefully broader and more well-reasoned attempt to follow policy and to insert a nuetral point of view, and that you or others would read the article on it's merits. A huge amount of time has been spent to greatly and significantly improve this article.

SUMMARY:After looking at numerous other biographical articles, I see many that do not have as much grounds for notability as this article does. And Wikipedia provides for a WP:BLPSELF route to an article. My waiting until "someone else writes about you" is one option, but the BIO option is also another allowable and legitimate way to go as well. I would truly appprecaite you reviewing it in that light as I can say I personally think it meets the notability test hence my placing it out there for constructive feedback. I'd be delighted to revise it to ensure it is not a self-promoting tone. I think (and could be wrong) that I have attempted to write impartially and in the style that I have seen many other articles address business activities, business ownership, publishing, entrenuership, sales of businesses, real estate development, etc. Some hints along those lines would be helpful and appreciated. Even a total re-write would be welcome Austex • Talk 22:29, 27 September 2011 (UTC)

Note that I created a $400 million project....considerably larger than the net worth of Optical Express. Does that count for anything re notability? Austex • Talk 22:36, 27 September 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Don Martin Public Affairs (Austin, Texas)

A tag has been placed on Don Martin Public Affairs (Austin, Texas) 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 an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Vanadus (talk | contribs) 20:18, 14 November 2011 (UTC)

Vanadus - I see no button for "Click Here to contest the speeedy deletion." This is not at all my first article. While it is about a company, it is actually about the authorship of two publications which provide notability. Austex • Talk 20:28, 14 November 2011 (UTC).

See WP:AUTHOR. Does Don Martin pass those? Vanadus (talk | contribs) 20:38, 14 November 2011 (UTC)

I wouldn't say that being the author of one of Arcadia's books (especially as it is a collection of old postcards), or of a self-published work contributes to real notability. Not every author is notable, I'm afraid. I would also draw attention to an error in the article - if it was founded in 1981, the company would be 30 years old not 20. No notability is shown for the company, which is the ostensible subject. If the books were notable, that would not transfer to the company. Peridon (talk) 20:54, 14 November 2011 (UTC)

---The book was written by myself and not by the company (????) Since then I have also authored an e-book on "Do It Yourself Internet Reputation Repair." You are correct, however, on the inaccuracy on the date of the company. Founded in 1989 the company is 22 years old, not 30. 173.174.98.191 (talk) 19:51, 4 March 2012 (UTC) Oops, had not signed on.

Your submission at Articles for creation: Don Martin Public Affairs (January 17)

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed! Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by Robert McClenon was:

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of organizations and companies). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

 The comment the reviewer left was:

This page has been declined or rejected as an abandoned draft by an inactive editor. If it is not edited further within six months after it has been declined or rejected, it will be deleted as a disused draft. Since the originator of this draft is inactive, any comments may be addressed to the last reviewer.

This draft is written from the viewpoint of the company, focusing on what the company says about itself. Corporate notability is based on what independent reliable sources have written about the company.

Please check the submission for any additional comments left by the reviewer. You are encouraged to edit the submission to address the issues raised and resubmit when they have been resolved.

• If you would like to continue working on the submission, go to Draft:Don Martin Public Affairs and click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window.
• If you now believe the draft cannot meet Wikipedia's standards or do not wish to progress it further, you may request deletion. Please go to Draft:Don Martin Public Affairs, click on the "Edit" tab at the top of the window, add "{{db-self}}" at the top of the draft text and click the blue "publish changes" button to save this edit.
• If you need any assistance, you can ask for help at the Articles for creation help desk or on the reviewer's talk page.
• You can also use Wikipedia's real-time chat help from experienced editors.
