[edit] Concordian International School
I was reading through all of the rules about writing an article and I understand the COI part, but I have modeled the specs about CIS very similarly to International School of Bangkok, New International School of Bangkok and Shanghai American School. I have taken out any adjectives and adverbs that may have been giving and bias and now it is just points.
Is this okay, or are there other changes that need to occur? As I mentioned, I will be finding more history and present facts, should this be enough to keep it within Wikipedia?

[edit] Lunarstudio
Excuse me, but under what grounds are you deleting this article on Lunarstudio? I am a certified member of the American Society of Architectural Illustrators. I have also done a lot of artwork for many famous publications. I don't see how my body of work is not notable. Do you have any experience or knowledge concerning the field of architectural rendering? I don't think so, therefore I do not think you (or anyone else lacking knowledge within this field) should be editing this.
Update: Kurt, I received your latest message about 'conflict of interest.' Just because something is 'discouraged' by Wikipedia, doesn't mean that this is (nor is required to be) enforced. It was written from an neutral standpoint without any grandiose proclamations attached to it.
[edit] Navini Networks
Hi - I am trying to learn more and become more of a contributor. I document WiMAX technology as it is my interest. There is a WiMAX article with a list of WiMAX operators. The operators also list the manufacturer of their equipment - each implying a different technological spin. In any case, most of the other manufacturers have pages as well as almost all of the operators...yet when I try to write a Navini Networks page - it gets nominated for speedy deletion.
I have made it very unbiased as I in no way represent Navini. I have went for factual and the last notice said there was nothing significant. However, I disagree, Navini recently sold to Cisco Systems and this was a major event to the WiMAX industry and the article on Navini represents a large piece of the WiMAX technological spectrum as their technology is different than other manufacturers.
I am fairly new to this and would like some advice on recommendations to make this article more acceptable.

[edit] Nashville Homeless Power Project
Can you please explain to me why this page was deleted? It wasn't complete, but it did have plenty of references.

[edit] Need Your Assistance To Repost Reid Supply Company With Corrections To Make It Compliant With Wikipedia
Kurt,
I am brand new with Wikipedia and was speedily deleted before I understood how to use it. I corrected the problem with the Reid Supply Company submission and am ready to resubmit. How do I re-submit the information?
I tagged the submission with the "hangon" tag, but must have accidentally overwrote the new submission.
Is there a place on Wikipedia where I can follow the step by step procedure to get the Reid Supply Company information posted.
Thank you.

Let me know.
Thank you.

[edit] Xoom Corporation
Hi, I'm not sure whether there should be an article on the Xoom Corporation, but I do know that the content shouldn't have replaced that at XOOM which is what had happened. I was just trying to fix the situation without losing any of the work done by other editors. I think that Xoom Corporation probably isn't notable enough and would be deleted as a result of an AfD, but I do think it should go through that process rather than being speedied, given the strange way in which the article came about. If you have a different view on this, I'd be interested in reading your opinion. --Sapphic (talk) 02:13, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] FYI
Please note this page where an editor has opened up a Deletion Review of an AfD debate you were involved in. Whilst such a request is clearly within their rights that editor has only contacted one or two of those who took part during the AfD process. It would in my view be more appropriate to include a notice to all persons (including yourself) that were interested in the first Article for Deletion debate, and I provide such a notice and link here. Best wishes --VS talk 22:15, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Please revisit Jeffrey A. Klein, MD
Could you please take another look at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Jeffrey A. Klein, MD? The article has been improved through the addition of references and reviews. --Eastmain (talk) 05:30, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] GroundWork Open Source
Hi Kurt, would you consider taking this article to AfD instead? I think the article has NPOV problems, but not sure if it is "blatant" advertising. Marasmusine (talk) 08:42, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Using speedy deletion templates
I notice that you've been tagging articles for speedy deletion as "pure vandalism". It's customary to use templates such as "db-bio" to get rid of articles written about non-notable people. The "pure vandalism" template should be reserved for more serious problems. See WP:BITE. And sometimes, you have to just use "prod", even though it's slower. Thanks. --John Nagle (talk) 05:19, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] [edit] Speedy deletion of Dock jumping
Why????
And who are you??
I have been trying to get this Dog sport "on the map" but.. different people keep popping up????
But I guess "welcome to the world of Wikipedia"
Anything I can change to make it better??? Gd8man (talk) 20:38, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
Thanks
The tone or style of this article or section may not be appropriate for Wikipedia. Specific concerns may be found on the talk page. See Wikipedia's guide to writing better articles for suggestions.(May 2008)
For the forth (4) time why have you tagged the article with NO explaination? gd8man 06:21, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Humanbeings.scribblewiki
It clearly says under construction on the page if you take time to read the actual page rather than slapping it with a delete tag!! Dancerman2008 (talk) 20:33, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

Oops, my mistake. I thought I was editing the Portuguese Wikipedia. It's 1:40 in the morning... I should be sleeping and not wikiing! Albmont (talk) 04:44, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Speedy Delete of Netjak
Kurt, I re-created the article in the belief that the previous AfD discussion was closed without enough discussion on the matter (see the AfD here), and apparently the article in question did not use any sources per WP:RS, WP:WEB or WP:N. At the time when you placed the Speedy Delete tag on the article, there weren't any references because of a glitch in my formatting at the time -- they have since been replaced onto the article. -- Nomader (Talk) 20:56, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Marish Puri
I changed the speedy tag to a prod. "Very famous actor" is an assertion of notability. ~~ N (t/c) 00:17, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
