Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Arlington P. Van Dyke

Thank you for your feedback Gadget850(Ed)and Ktr101. . .I regret my lack of "cyber savvy". The following is a discussion of the 3 criteria that I've been "gigged" on.

Even if it is deemed necessary to provide any legislative bills Arlington sponsored or co-sponsored both at a local and county level and as a one term freshman Assemblyman, (e.g. introducing legislation to provide protective vest body armor for police in New York State)does he rise to the necessary Wikipedia level of "importance or significance"? If not, further attempts to edit this article are moot and futile. The significance of Arlington is of course subjective and relative, and the hearts and minds of his community "back in the day" would attest to this.

On the topic of "reliable-verifiable", I understand that thorough research is vital. However, a resource may not appear "blue" and therefore easily cross-referenced by Wiki editors, but this does not mean that it is indeed not reliable or verifiable. I refer to N.Y.S. Senate Resolution #717, an official N.Y.S. legislative document record. The Stamford Mountain Eagle and N.Y.S. Automobile Dealers Association "The News" letter are legitimate media even though they are not highlighted "blue". I understand that a newspaper article is not necessarily factual (i.e. 3rd party info., opinions, etc.) depending on the subject matter.

In general, I find the Wiki rules & regs. are diverse, complex and confusing. (Admittedly, much of this is probably due to my limited time spent on learning the wiki process). Regarding the "guidelines on bibliographies", often I find one section refers to another section which can be explained by another section. At this point I am stymied and not certain whether that section actually defines the issue sufficiently to understand how to solve the issue. Some of us out here in cyber space are caught in an older segment of the sandwich generation that is impatient and reluctant to twist the former "APA format" bibliography guidelines into the convoluted nuances and symbology that Wiki requires. I guess I pine for those simpler times.

Despite my own computer handicap, Wikipedia is an excellent resource for knowledge and I am grateful for all your expertise. I reach out to you for any further assistance on this article. . .OR, is it D.O.A.? Kpvandy 16:22, 24 December 2011 (UTC)

• Are you attempting to have a conversation with User:Gadget850 and User:Ktr101? If so, I recommend that you contact them directly on their talk pages, since they may not be aware of your msg here. As far as your proposed article, I have cleaned up some of the work. That said, it would be beneficial to provide sources that provide enough information to direct readers to the location of the source. I could find no form of reference for The News, New York State Automobile Dealers, Inc. or The Stamford Mountain Eagle. Clearly this subject is one of your family members added in accordance with personal family records. Review the sources you have indicated in this article and provide more information. Topical notability guidelines for politicians can be found here, while you can find the general notability guidelines here. Let me know if you need more help.
