The Board of Trustees of the Wikimedia Foundation has appointed a committee to lead the search for the foundation’s next Executive Director. One of our first tasks is to write the job description of the executive director position, and we are asking for input from the Wikimedia community. Please take a few minutes and complete this survey to help us better understand community and staff expectations for the Wikimedia Foundation Executive Director.

@ DGG: Hello!
Thanks for your consideration. Lynda Roy ( talk) 02:45, 2 June 2016 (UTC)
I am still working on this--I normally work on fixing an article over several days.
1. We refer to everybody except popular entertainers by their last name. Using a first name alone is not appropriate to formal writing and, especially for a woman, gives me a feeling of disrespect and condescension. I agree that in this particular case, where the name is that of her second husband, using it in the earlier parts of her biography can seem confusing. I know I need to find a better solution. I'm thinking of using just "she" more often, with a few uses of her full name. This is similar to what we usually do when there are several people of the same last name to be discussed in an article.
2. This is an encyclopedia , and we write as compactly as possible. Saying things once is sufficient & appropriate. The article as presented said many things three tines over: the initial biography sketch, the sections on the various periods of her life, and the timeline. I don't have the right balance yet between the first two, but the timeline is absolutely inappropriate. I cannot easily think of a biography of any individual, no matter how famous or complicated, where it would be appropriate. It is sometimes useful as a summary of complicate historical events. We use it very occasionally for the history of organizations, where there are complicated mergers and other changes--but even here, usually an attempt to include it is an attempt to say things twice, which is a technique of promotional writing, or of advocacy. When we do need to use that style for organizations, we remove most of the descriptive paragraphs sayibg the same thing.
3.In your comment at the AfD, you said "Keep. A Milestone for Women ". This seems to indicate a promotional intent, which is out of place in an encyclopedia
4. The accomplishments of family may be in some sense germane, but saying so is original research, and not appropriate here, unless there are references providing substantial coverage from third-party independent reliable sources, not press releases or mere announcements independent sources, normally sources as responsible and objective as formal academic biographies, that do discuss them. We do mention the probably notable relations to provide links, but we just mention them.
5. We don't write an article in footnotes. We only use them as a way to provide references, and excerpts showing the exact wording, and absolutely necessary information about the reliability of a source or other account. Most of the existing footnotes that are more than references need to be removed or integrated. I was saving that for tomorrow.
6. If you think that any of her relations are independently notable, start articles on them in draft space (not article space). You'll have at least six months to work on them. You can copy over what text you need from the versions in the article history, but indicate in the edit summary from where you moved. For an explanation, see WP:NOY INHERITED
7. Had you written a briefer more focused article, it would probably not have been challenged at all. Lack of notability is not the only reason for deletion. Borderline notability combined with clear promotionalism or overexpansive writing is an equally good reason. For an explanation of why this is important, see WP:EINSTEIN.
8. In summary, please remember that an encyclopedia article article is not intended for those who know the subject. It is intended to provide the information someone in the general public might look for who has come across the name. If you wish to write a full-scale biography , or use her as an example to discuss the general nature of the influences of women of her era, it should be published elsewhere. Lack of notability is not the only reason for deletion. Promotion or advocacy is an even better reason. DGG ( talk ) 03:35, 2 June 2016 (UTC)

Given the seriousness of this Rfc at User talk:The Wordsmith/GMORFC the ongoing threats to sanction participating editors seem to ring hollow in light of supervising admin The Wordsmith's astonishing comments regarding ArbCom members. The comment, which by any definition "casts aspersions," raises a number of questions that call for immediate answers, given the self-created deadline for comments.
The questions, which I hereby put directly to The Wordsmith, are as follows:
To all concerned: I will post the above subsection on the Talk pages of current ArbCom members, per The Wordsmith's declaration, despite substantial objections, that they will be locking down the page a few hours from this posting, making further timely discussion on this page impossible.

Hallo David, Pluribus Networks (company) has been created, 2 years after Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Pluribus Networks. The author admits his COI but the article has quite a lot of reliable-looking sources. That editor has made no edits other than about this company, and is producing very well-crafted references etc, impressive for a new editor. I'm not sure what we do in this situation: please have a look. I thought I'd come here rather than throw them to the wolves of ANI. Thanks. Pam D 06:58, 4 June 2016 (UTC)
Nice job creating a tight, well-sourced, and neutral (at least on the face of it) article", which differs from your impression. Pam D 15:07, 4 June 2016 (UTC)
"(at least on the face of it)"applies to all three aspects or only its neutrality. But as I said, people will differ on what they consider adequate sources to establish notability. I don't think routine funding, staffing, and "partnership" announcements, + a PR-planted interview with the company's CFO qualify. The only in-depth source of the 10 references which have been added for a 76 word article is this one, and it's not about the company. It's about one of their products which may or may not prove a success. That kind of over-citation to essentially trivial sources is typical of these sorts of articles for start-ups which have yet to make a real mark. There are numerous tech sites which exist simply to recycle startup publicity. All those "references" show is that the company has an active PR department, and this WP article is, of course, part of that PR strategy. Voceditenore ( talk) 15:41, 4 June 2016 (UTC)
Hi, David - if I may please tap into your library experiences...not sure if my question falls within your area of expertise, but thought I'd give it a shot anyway. Re: historical collections of notable families - images, documents, etc. - and what such a collection would be worth to a library, if anything. I see where several "collections" have been sold to various libraries but how is that value procured? Atsme 📞 📧 23:26, 5 June 2016 (UTC)

Hello There ! Hope my note finds you in good time. I was contributing the aforementioned article and provided the sufficient references to support the subject. I am interested to know what needs to be done now to get it to main space. FYI, I created this draft after consulting an admin User:JimFBleake. And yes, it meets the WP:BASIC criteria and another admin says that criteria is lenient. I am confused by this as the definition of WP:BASIC says the subject becomes notable on Wikipedia if the particular criteria is met. Request your guidance on publishing and improving the article.

Hi, DGG I posted this on my own talk page, thought it best to post here to to check with you directly, as I'm not sure if you'd see the other post:
Thanks for the suggestions for moving the article towards a NPOV. I had planned to add further neutral/factual sources, remove the ‘aims’ section and rephrase to a more neutral tone this evening. However, I can’t now find the text of the page to edit/re-upload in a form that meets the NPOV guidelines. Are you able to suggest where I could find this? Thanks. --08:39, 14 June 2016 (UTC)

OK. Thank you for the guidance. I see now that I fell for an ad posing as an article and used a template I shouldn't have. The Couch article was created by a user that no longer exists and most of the references are referenced to the company's own website.

The process continues to be confusing from notability standpoint. For example the Couch Guitar Straps entry was quickly edited after is was flagged by DGG as an advert.

Hallo David, I see you A-7'd Mikayil Alakbarov. Looking carefully he is asserted to be a Hero of the Soviet Union, which is described as "the highest distinction in the Soviet Union". I wonder whether that constitutes notability?
This is just one of a mass of unsourced stubs created today by a new editor. They have two major problems (not including any notability question - they all seem to be Heroes of the Soviet Union, which may or may not be enough):
Could you have a look? I've asked the editor to stop disruptively creating so many unsourced stubs, and given a formal level 1 warning. Pam D 17:26, 16 June 2016 (UTC)
Hi David, I wanted to speak to you regarding deletion of neuvoo page. First there were issues ot citing sources and I made sure to provide as much citing and sources to provide concrete reference to the information. I spoke to several other admins to ask for advice and asked to proof read and check to ensure criterias are met. Today I saw that it was flagged as crosswiki spam and was deleted. Can you please help me understand why it was deleted and what I can do to bring it back?

Hi DGG, you accepted this draft and I was wondering your reasoning for it. Every single reference there was written, or co-written, by the topic (who also happens to be the author of the article). Not a single independent source that talks about the person at all. I came across this after the author tried to add their name to the list of notable forensic anthropologists on forensic anthropology with a nonindependent reference. Just wondering what you saw in that draft to accept it. I tried looking for additional sources that are independent and I'm not finding much.

I understand and respect the rules and guidelines put forth by Wikipedia as they apply to business listings. I do feel, however, that the rules are not being enforced equitably. If Wikipedia is concerned about fairness, the rules and guidelines need to be applied to each and every business listing on the site. There should be no “grandfathering in” of pages created prior to Ace Relocation Systems’ that do not adhere to those rules. If there is no active/functioning link to an article about each of the businesses in a legitimate news source – which seems to be the main reason for deleting the Ace Relocation listing – then those should be deleted, as well. Keep in mind that the "Ace Relocations" article did have links to reputable news sources such as the San Diego Business Journal, the San Jose/ Silicon Valley Business Journal and the Phoenix Business Journal.
Below are some examples of businesses that are no more legitimate or qualified than the "Ace Relocations" article. This is but a very small sample of those. There are, I'm sure, many more since this was an audit conducted over the course of approximately two hours.
An examination of these articles' references will reveal that they are no more, most likely even less, qualified than the recently deleted Ace Relocation article.
A note about news sources writing articles about companies in the moving and storage business: generally they do not spend a lot of time writing about them unless they are the subject of criminal investigation or an outpouring of consumer complaints. “No news is good news” is the rule in the relocation industry. }} Ogbrewer ( talk) 22:01, 20 June 2016 (UTC)

Please take a look at this and let me know if this would be substantial enough. Either way, thank you for your consideration. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ogbrewer ( talk • contribs) 19:32, 27 June 2016 (UTC)
Hi
I'd like to ask for you to reconsider the deletion of the Polar Electro page. The company is a pioneer in its field (infact the inventor) and the science behind its products is well established and used by professional sports scientists as well as multiple universities etc.. globally. Therefore company and information about the company and its research is of interest to many people, not only users of their products and for example fairly sought after in the search engines. Making this information available has been a challenge and I am hoping you could help me with this by both restoring the page but also letting me know what would be the best way to move forward..
I'd like to undertake efforts to improve the page - and specifically by listing highlighting more of how the company is involved and referenced in the scientific sports research (doing its own research, devices used by people doing the research, research the company is involved in or supports) area by citing some of the references to the company and its work in the scientific sports community (for the lack of a better word :-)) that are largely unknown at the moment. T o avoid doing that in a fashion that would out of bounds of the guidelines of Wikipedia I would be very interested in hearing about how to add those references and citations properly.
My personal aim is to help make the company's involvement in the scientific research in the sports / human exercise capacity field (and the use of its devices in that research) more easily found / available (as the parties that create the research develop them in a manner that does NOT make them easily available /easily consumed ) to all that seek information in that area, so that the people who have an interest in improving their physical performance are aware of the differences between approaches and equipment available. For this I think Wikipedia is the best and most impartial source via citations. I feel the scientific research and due diligence the company
In other words people with interest in the subject will be able to understand the science and philosophy that set this company apart - the external refwerences will help inform people of the accuracy (and therefore the availability) of devices suitable for body measurements and how those merasurements may help them achieve their goals (be it in regards to their personal health or for example professional / national sports organizations and their needs or more new research).
This in turn should allow them to make their own decisions if they are in a position described above that would then in turn allow the company benefit from the due diligence and effort they have placed in their operations. As I read the G11 description I understand the point of view of your approach in your activity, however I am hoping you would be able to reconsider your decision (or subject this request to a reconsideration by a wider panel if appropriate), considering the information I have given and the understanding of how this organization sits in the intersection of commerce (yes its a business) and scientific research.
Some examples of external reference materials that are the type I would like to include as citations - if I could understand how to do it appropriately are: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]
While I understand that its possible that not all my examples above may qualify /or arent the greatest examples (something i would hope to get support on) please keep in mind that those are but a small reference list to help clarify my point. (Here are infact some more references from the companys website [8] - just from a single category of research - the point I am trying to make is that the company is notable in multiple ways, ex: it operates globally, it is a pioneer and inventor, it is actively involved and referenced in science and so on something that sets it apart and something that would make sense to be able to verify via Wikipedia - A related question:pending hopefully a decision to re-instate the page of course - would you consider that the best way maybe to share information on those references would be to cite refences by for example devices used in research? )
All the best (and please excuse me if this ends up on the top of the page - **Please add new sections at the bottom, not the top ** - if that is the case its not by design)
EDIT & Note - I just looked up the deleted page from wayback machine, it had a note at the top from 2003 saying citations needed in certain places - I could definitely find and add those + have a look at other companies pages to make sure the information is more like on those, allthough Its not easy to figure out exactly what kind of a page is 100% appropriate. All this would be much easier if the original page was restored.
And is it perhaps this type of citations that are needed more: a story on Polar on Forbes [9] I would certainly appreciate all advice on making sure the page is up & up to standards, looking back at the old version I think its more an issue of not updating & not understaiing what all the information that should go into a wikipedia copmpany page is rather than this being a case of the company not being notable.

Hi DGG. Thanks & thats great. I need to look at it this weekend and review what you are saying to get it right. I think realistically I might get the improvements (depending on how many are required) on piece by piece over the next 2-3 weeks, as not all of this I am so familiar with. it shouldn't be a problem to get external references and product reviews etc. as I know there are plenty about. just need to get them right. Much appreciated. thanks. Sambkk ( talk) 05:51, 30 June 2016 (UTC)
I am an active member of the European Mentoring and Coaching Council (EMCC) and it has just been brought to my attention that a Wiki page for the body is being created.
I am surprised such a detailed draft article filled with legitimate references is being rejected.
We already have a small page on the Swedish version of Wiki:
https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Mentoring_and_Coaching_Council
The EMCC is one of the world's leading accrediting professional bodies for certifying coaches and mentors. It is recognised as such by the European Union - all referenced in the draft.
The EMCC does not seek media publicity and therefore might be lacking more readily available citations, but would you not agree that amomg the 60 or so references, there are enough which demonstrate sufficient notability of the EMCC?

I came across Brunswick Square (East Brunswick, New Jersey) during pages patrol. Looking for sources, there are trivial local news stories about a fire, needing an artist, and so on [2]. There is nothing notable there.
The article references do not appear to be related to the article. The first ref is broken anyway, but is supposed to be connected to "The International Council of Shopping Centers: New Brunswick". And one ref is supposed to be the list of stores at the mall, but it goes here: [3] (its a mix of page 404 and a link to a store). That ref would be really trivial anyway if it worked.
However, my biggest concern is the large template at the bottom of the page entitled: "Shopping malls in the New York metropolitan area". I believe the template is entitled: "New York City Malls", and yes here it is [4]. I count 89 malls - I might be off by a couple, but there it is. What can be done about this? The thing is, this shows that a number of people have no idea what Wikipedia is supposed to be. Steve Quinn ( talk) 05:49, 24 June 2016 (UTC)

Dear DGG, It appears you have deleted the Sherrill Manufacturing page due to copyright violation. However, the article was edited after the original user flagged it for that violation. The violation seems to have been due to a quote from the website of the subject of the article which was not cited properly. A quick check of the copyvios report (which as of a Earlier today reflected no such violation) prior to deletion would be super helpful! Is it possible for you to undelete the page? — Preceding unsigned comment added by CodenameAckles ( talk • contribs) 02:53, 26 June 2016 (UTC)

@ DGG: Hello!
Thanks for your consideration. Lynda Roy ( talk) 02:45, 2 June 2016 (UTC)
I am still working on this--I normally work on fixing an article over several days.
1. We refer to everybody except popular entertainers by their last name. Using a first name alone is not appropriate to formal writing and, especially for a woman, gives me a feeling of disrespect and condescension. I agree that in this particular case, where the name is that of her second husband, using it in the earlier parts of her biography can seem confusing. I know I need to find a better solution. I'm thinking of using just "she" more often, with a few uses of her full name. This is similar to what we usually do when there are several people of the same last name to be discussed in an article.
2. This is an encyclopedia , and we write as compactly as possible. Saying things once is sufficient & appropriate. The article as presented said many things three tines over: the initial biography sketch, the sections on the various periods of her life, and the timeline. I don't have the right balance yet between the first two, but the timeline is absolutely inappropriate. I cannot easily think of a biography of any individual, no matter how famous or complicated, where it would be appropriate. It is sometimes useful as a summary of complicate historical events. We use it very occasionally for the history of organizations, where there are complicated mergers and other changes--but even here, usually an attempt to include it is an attempt to say things twice, which is a technique of promotional writing, or of advocacy. When we do need to use that style for organizations, we remove most of the descriptive paragraphs sayibg the same thing.
3.In your comment at the AfD, you said "Keep. A Milestone for Women ". This seems to indicate a promotional intent, which is out of place in an encyclopedia
4. The accomplishments of family may be in some sense germane, but saying so is original research, and not appropriate here, unless there are references providing substantial coverage from third-party independent reliable sources, not press releases or mere announcements independent sources, normally sources as responsible and objective as formal academic biographies, that do discuss them. We do mention the probably notable relations to provide links, but we just mention them.
5. We don't write an article in footnotes. We only use them as a way to provide references, and excerpts showing the exact wording, and absolutely necessary information about the reliability of a source or other account. Most of the existing footnotes that are more than references need to be removed or integrated. I was saving that for tomorrow.
6. If you think that any of her relations are independently notable, start articles on them in draft space (not article space). You'll have at least six months to work on them. You can copy over what text you need from the versions in the article history, but indicate in the edit summary from where you moved. For an explanation, see WP:NOY INHERITED
7. Had you written a briefer more focused article, it would probably not have been challenged at all. Lack of notability is not the only reason for deletion. Borderline notability combined with clear promotionalism or overexpansive writing is an equally good reason. For an explanation of why this is important, see WP:EINSTEIN.
8. In summary, please remember that an encyclopedia article article is not intended for those who know the subject. It is intended to provide the information someone in the general public might look for who has come across the name. If you wish to write a full-scale biography , or use her as an example to discuss the general nature of the influences of women of her era, it should be published elsewhere. Lack of notability is not the only reason for deletion. Promotion or advocacy is an even better reason. DGG ( talk ) 03:35, 2 June 2016 (UTC)

Given the seriousness of this Rfc at User talk:The Wordsmith/GMORFC the ongoing threats to sanction participating editors seem to ring hollow in light of supervising admin The Wordsmith's astonishing comments regarding ArbCom members. The comment, which by any definition "casts aspersions," raises a number of questions that call for immediate answers, given the self-created deadline for comments.
The questions, which I hereby put directly to The Wordsmith, are as follows:
To all concerned: I will post the above subsection on the Talk pages of current ArbCom members, per The Wordsmith's declaration, despite substantial objections, that they will be locking down the page a few hours from this posting, making further timely discussion on this page impossible.

Hallo David, Pluribus Networks (company) has been created, 2 years after Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Pluribus Networks. The author admits his COI but the article has quite a lot of reliable-looking sources. That editor has made no edits other than about this company, and is producing very well-crafted references etc, impressive for a new editor. I'm not sure what we do in this situation: please have a look. I thought I'd come here rather than throw them to the wolves of ANI. Thanks. Pam D 06:58, 4 June 2016 (UTC)
Nice job creating a tight, well-sourced, and neutral (at least on the face of it) article", which differs from your impression. Pam D 15:07, 4 June 2016 (UTC)
"(at least on the face of it)"applies to all three aspects or only its neutrality. But as I said, people will differ on what they consider adequate sources to establish notability. I don't think routine funding, staffing, and "partnership" announcements, + a PR-planted interview with the company's CFO qualify. The only in-depth source of the 10 references which have been added for a 76 word article is this one, and it's not about the company. It's about one of their products which may or may not prove a success. That kind of over-citation to essentially trivial sources is typical of these sorts of articles for start-ups which have yet to make a real mark. There are numerous tech sites which exist simply to recycle startup publicity. All those "references" show is that the company has an active PR department, and this WP article is, of course, part of that PR strategy. Voceditenore ( talk) 15:41, 4 June 2016 (UTC)

OK. Thank you for the guidance. I see now that I fell for an ad posing as an article and used a template I shouldn't have.

The process continues to be confusing from notability standpoint. For example the Couch Guitar Straps entry was quickly edited after is was flagged by DGG as an advert.

I wondered if you could review these articles I've found randomly: Anil Kumar Bhalla, J. Randall Price (is 1,663 holdings enough?), Jon McKenzie, H Abdul Raqeeb, Ola Orekunrin, Alice Beck Kehoe, Shi Hu (artist), Paul Leverkühn and Takashi Yamaguchi. SwisterTwister talk 04:21, 16 June 2016 (UTC)
Hallo David, I see you A-7'd Mikayil Alakbarov. Looking carefully he is asserted to be a Hero of the Soviet Union, which is described as "the highest distinction in the Soviet Union". I wonder whether that constitutes notability?
This is just one of a mass of unsourced stubs created today by a new editor. They have two major problems (not including any notability question - they all seem to be Heroes of the Soviet Union, which may or may not be enough):
Could you have a look? I've asked the editor to stop disruptively creating so many unsourced stubs, and given a formal level 1 warning. Pam D 17:26, 16 June 2016 (UTC)
Hi David, I wanted to speak to you regarding deletion of neuvoo page. First there were issues ot citing sources and I made sure to provide as much citing and sources to provide concrete reference to the information. I spoke to several other admins to ask for advice and asked to proof read and check to ensure criterias are met. Today I saw that it was flagged as crosswiki spam and was deleted. Can you please help me understand why it was deleted and what I can do to bring it back? I even checked out other competition companies' wikipedia page and one of them is VERY similar to our page that we had. (Indeed) Thank you Rainbowsherbet5 ( talk) 18:29, 16 June 2016 (UTC)
Hello, after you proposed a merger I was unable to find the reason. So I looked through your contributions and found this page. I'm guessing the article you would really want is this one? Cheers! Corkythe hornetfan 20:46, 16 June 2016 (UTC)
Take a look at Jessie Chung. I did some quick tagging in the lede and slightly de-promo'ed some phrases, but the entire article is littered with highly promotional language. According to a recent AfD, she is notable for being openly transgender and something to do with her marriage, which got a large amount of media attention in South East Asian countries.

You added a tag for speedy deletion of the Poligon page, but I think I addressed it and explained why it is significant in the context of Slovenia. Mitar ( talk) 10:19, 18 June 2016 (UTC)
Hi DGG, you accepted this draft and I was wondering your reasoning for it. Every single reference there was written, or co-written, by the topic (who also happens to be the author of the article). Not a single independent source that talks about the person at all. I came across this after the author tried to add their name to the list of notable forensic anthropologists on forensic anthropology with a nonindependent reference. Just wondering what you saw in that draft to accept it. I tried looking for additional sources that are independent and I'm not finding much. Thanks for you time. -- Majora ( talk) 17:02, 18 June 2016 (UTC)
Today I declined a G10 speedy deletion on Agroinvestbank. I do not feel it meets the criterion, but the editor that tagged it has questioned my decline. I see you have previously looked at it and Prodd'd it. Can you look at it and give me your opinion whether you think it is eligible under G10. -- GB fan 15:31, 20 June 2016 (UTC)

I understand and respect the rules and guidelines put forth by Wikipedia as they apply to business listings. I do feel, however, that the rules are not being enforced equitably. If Wikipedia is concerned about fairness, the rules and guidelines need to be applied to each and every business listing on the site. There should be no “grandfathering in” of pages created prior to Ace Relocation Systems’ that do not adhere to those rules. If there is no active/functioning link to an article about each of the businesses in a legitimate news source – which seems to be the main reason for deleting the Ace Relocation listing – then those should be deleted, as well. Keep in mind that the "Ace Relocations" article did have links to reputable news sources such as the San Diego Business Journal, the San Jose/ Silicon Valley Business Journal and the Phoenix Business Journal.
Below are some examples of businesses that are no more legitimate or qualified than the "Ace Relocations" article. This is but a very small sample of those. There are, I'm sure, many more since this was an audit conducted over the course of approximately two hours.
An examination of these articles' references will reveal that they are no more, most likely even less, qualified than the recently deleted Ace Relocation article.
A note about news sources writing articles about companies in the moving and storage business: generally they do not spend a lot of time writing about them unless they are the subject of criminal investigation or an outpouring of consumer complaints. “No news is good news” is the rule in the relocation industry. }} Ogbrewer ( talk) 22:01, 20 June 2016 (UTC)
I have found an additional reference in the Orlando Sentinel. Here is a link to a brief overview of the article from the sentinel's archives. I am currently attempting to provide a link to the entire article, but it is difficult to find one online. I will add a link if I find one. Please take a look at this and let me know if this would be substantial enough. Either way, thank you for your consideration. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ogbrewer ( talk • contribs) 19:32, 27 June 2016 (UTC)
Hi
I'd like to ask for you to reconsider the deletion of the Polar Electro page. The company is a pioneer in its field (infact the inventor) and the science behind its products is well established and used by professional sports scientists as well as multiple universities etc.. globally. Therefore company and information about the company and its research is of interest to many people, not only users of their products and for example fairly sought after in the search engines. Making this information available has been a challenge and I am hoping you could help me with this by both restoring the page but also letting me know what would be the best way to move forward..
I'd like to undertake efforts to improve the page - and specifically by listing highlighting more of how the company is involved and referenced in the scientific sports research (doing its own research, devices used by people doing the research, research the company is involved in or supports) area by citing some of the references to the company and its work in the scientific sports community (for the lack of a better word :-)) that are largely unknown at the moment. T o avoid doing that in a fashion that would out of bounds of the guidelines of Wikipedia I would be very interested in hearing about how to add those references and citations properly.
My personal aim is to help make the company's involvement in the scientific research in the sports / human exercise capacity field (and the use of its devices in that research) more easily found / available (as the parties that create the research develop them in a manner that does NOT make them easily available /easily consumed ) to all that seek information in that area, so that the people who have an interest in improving their physical performance are aware of the differences between approaches and equipment available. For this I think Wikipedia is the best and most impartial source via citations. I feel the scientific research and due diligence the company
In other words people with interest in the subject will be able to understand the science and philosophy that set this company apart - the external refwerences will help inform people of the accuracy (and therefore the availability) of devices suitable for body measurements and how those merasurements may help them achieve their goals (be it in regards to their personal health or for example professional / national sports organizations and their needs or more new research).
This in turn should allow them to make their own decisions if they are in a position described above that would then in turn allow the company benefit from the due diligence and effort they have placed in their operations. As I read the G11 description I understand the point of view of your approach in your activity, however I am hoping you would be able to reconsider your decision (or subject this request to a reconsideration by a wider panel if appropriate), considering the information I have given and the understanding of how this organization sits in the intersection of commerce (yes its a business) and scientific research.
Some examples of external reference materials that are the type I would like to include as citations - if I could understand how to do it appropriately are: [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]
While I understand that its possible that not all my examples above may qualify /or arent the greatest examples (something i would hope to get support on) please keep in mind that those are but a small reference list to help clarify my point. (Here are infact some more references from the companys website [8] - just from a single category of research - the point I am trying to make is that the company is notable in multiple ways, ex: it operates globally, it is a pioneer and inventor, it is actively involved and referenced in science and so on something that sets it apart and something that would make sense to be able to verify via Wikipedia - A related question:pending hopefully a decision to re-instate the page of course - would you consider that the best way maybe to share information on those references would be to cite refences by for example devices used in research? )
All the best (and please excuse me if this ends up on the top of the page - **Please add new sections at the bottom, not the top ** - if that is the case its not by design)
EDIT & Note - I just looked up the deleted page from wayback machine, it had a note at the top from 2003 saying citations needed in certain places - I could definitely find and add those + have a look at other companies pages to make sure the information is more like on those, allthough Its not easy to figure out exactly what kind of a page is 100% appropriate. All this would be much easier if the original page was restored.
And is it perhaps this type of citations that are needed more: a story on Polar on Forbes [9] I would certainly appreciate all advice on making sure the page is up & up to standards, looking back at the old version I think its more an issue of not updating & not understaiing what all the information that should go into a wikipedia copmpany page is rather than this being a case of the company not being notable. All the best Sambkk ( talk) 06:12, 23 June 2016 (UTC)
Hi DGG thanks for the reply. If you find theres a more appropriate way the page should be constructed please let me know, would be happy to work on it. Sambkk ( talk) 08:30, 24 June 2016 (UTC) Hi DGG, I am wondering if theres any updates regarding the Polar Electro page - have you had a chance to review? I understand the page itself may need work. Sambkk ( talk) 05:45, 29 June 2016 (UTC)
References
Hi DGG. Thanks & thats great. I need to look at it this weekend and review what you are saying to get it right. I think realistically I might get the improvements (depending on how many are required) on piece by piece over the next 2-3 weeks, as not all of this I am so familiar with. it shouldn't be a problem to get external references and product reviews etc. as I know there are plenty about. just need to get them right. Much appreciated. thanks. Sambkk ( talk) 05:51, 30 June 2016 (UTC)
I am an active member of the European Mentoring and Coaching Council (EMCC) and it has just been brought to my attention that a Wiki page for the body is being created.
I am surprised such a detailed draft article filled with legitimate references is being rejected.
We already have a small page on the Swedish version of Wiki:
https://sv.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Mentoring_and_Coaching_Council
The EMCC is one of the world's leading accrediting professional bodies for certifying coaches and mentors. It is recognised as such by the European Union - all referenced in the draft.
The EMCC does not seek media publicity and therefore might be lacking more readily available citations, but would you not agree that amomg the 60 or so references, there are enough which demonstrate sufficient notability of the EMCC?

Hi DGG.
I refer to your comment [1].
While I did think on balance Gregory Levey was worth keeping, just, the point about an argument for deleting the other articles was exactly the point I was making. I suspect we are in furious agreement ?

I came across Brunswick Square (East Brunswick, New Jersey) during pages patrol. Looking for sources, there are trivial local news stories about a fire, needing an artist, and so on [2]. There is nothing notable there.
The article references do not appear to be related to the article. The first ref is broken anyway, but is supposed to be connected to "The International Council of Shopping Centers: New Brunswick". And one ref is supposed to be the list of stores at the mall, but it goes here: [3] (its a mix of page 404 and a link to a store). That ref would be really trivial anyway if it worked.
However, my biggest concern is the large template at the bottom of the page entitled: "Shopping malls in the New York metropolitan area". I believe the template is entitled: "New York City Malls", and yes here it is [4]. I count 89 malls - I might be off by a couple, but there it is. What can be done about this? The thing is, this shows that a number of people have no idea what Wikipedia is supposed to be. Steve Quinn ( talk) 05:49, 24 June 2016 (UTC)

Dear DGG, It appears you have deleted the Sherrill Manufacturing page due to copyright violation. However, the article was edited after the original user flagged it for that violation. The violation seems to have been due to a quote from the website of the subject of the article which was not cited properly. A quick check of the copyvios report (which as of a Earlier today reflected no such violation) prior to deletion would be super helpful! Is it possible for you to undelete the page? — Preceding unsigned comment added by CodenameAckles ( talk • contribs) 02:53, 26 June 2016 (UTC)
