Speedy deletion nomination of Last Days of the Coliseum
[edit]You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles. See the Article Wizard.
A tag has been placed on Last Days of the Coliseum, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be unambiguous advertising that only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item G11, as well as the guidelines on spam.
If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add {{hangon}}
on the top of Last Days of the Coliseum 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 help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from independent reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Hairhorn (talk) 21:42, 13 March 2011 (UTC)
The article Last Days of the Coliseum has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- No evidence of notability, conflict of interest
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles 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 article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}}
will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Hairhorn (talk) 15:20, 14 March 2011 (UTC)

Improvements to Last Days of the Coliseum
[edit]I read you massage on the article's talk page only after I went through the article myself to bring it into libe with Wikipedia policies and guidelines. I appreciate that in your now understanding Wikipedia's concerns with conflict of interest, you have not edited the article since receiving the above notice. I also appreciate your having previously performed edits that addressed any sense of advert or promotion. What I encourage now is that you look yourself at the changes I made to the article in order to understand that it is not enough that a film exists, or that the film aired... but what is required under WP:Notability (films) is that the content of an article be cited with references to reliable sources and that it receive significant coverage (IE: critical commentary and review) IN those reliable sources. In six edits over a 90 minute period [1] I was able to expand and improve the article through regular editing to more closely meet Wikipedia requirements. Now while it may still be deleted through a deletion discussion, I have given it a far better chance at survival. If you have access to additional press coverage of the film, or to DVD reviews of the expanded version, please send me the links and I will see if they might be suitable for inclusion in the article.
