User talk:Mkellerandco

A tag has been placed on Keller & Barre' Associates, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, 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 assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag) and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. You may also find the conflict of interest guidelines to be relevant to this article. -FisherQueen (Talk) 00:09, 11 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

deletion of wikipedia entry

I understand your policies on writing articles that cannot be about people, companies, etc. I found it very unjust that you were so swift to delete my page when thousands of others like it exist in your database, but again I don't blame you.

First, I will give you some examples, warming up with some architects (kind of like the ones I was writing about):

Art Gensler Norman Foster I.M. Pei Cesar Pelli (and the list goes on)

Are they noteworthy? Of course! Are some of those people still around? designing buildings? overseeing architectural firms? Of Course! I lead you to yet more examples:

Coca-Cola Pepsi Goldman Sachs TBWA Omnicom BACARDI!!!!

These, as you have probably noticed are companies. Pepsi's wikiarticle talks in a very explicit manner about their marketing! Plus, maybe if I know a little bit more about pepsi's history, maybe it will make me more inclined to buy their product rather than coke!

I think you are catching my drift.... what is marketing and what isn't is quite rather subjective. Me, I view it all to be a form of marketing.... thats sort of what news is, letting a greater majority of people know about the merits of people, things, history, etc.

Before i go on, I shall apologize for not writing the article beforehand, and thinking it was a good idea to do it in pieces. That was bad wikimanners.

Again, I understand your swift actions and such, but I hope you will see the importance of the article I will write in its entirety, next time, and post.

I want you to know that when I write the article next time it is about a firm who had/has a vision of architecture that is often overlooked in todays architectural circles. It is news, it is wikiworthy.

Yes, there is an article about Pepsi on Wikipedia. It is easy to verify information about Pepsi by reading articles that do not come from the company- multiple, verifiable, nontrivial, independent sources, which is what is required by the notability criteria. If there are multiple, nontrivial, independent sources writing about this company, and if it meets the notability criteria in some way, you can appeal the deletion at Deletion Review. Make sure you can clearly explain what part of the criteria the company meets and can provide the sources to prove it. -FisherQueen (Talk) 02:57, 12 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
