Speedy deletion declined: Hilton Kelly

Hello Breawycker. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Hilton Kelly, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: A dedication of a performance hall is a sufficient claim of notability to cast doubt on CSD A7. Thank you. Fæ (talk) 22:10, 27 September 2011 (UTC)

Your comments at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Sanjaydasgupta54

Thank you very much.

I am new to the article creation/editing side of Wikipedia, and am eager to learn the ropes, so thank you for the feedback. I'm somewhat unclear about the issues noted (though I have followed and read all the hyperlinked material), so allow me to ask a few questions:

  • If my username seems to imply that I am the same person that created the free, open-source software (VisualLangLab) that is the subject of the article requested to be moved, that is correct. However, the article's language merely abbreviates claims already on the website, and shouldn't be construed as advertising -- not any more than Wikepedia articles like JavaCC and ANTLR (which also feature other free, open-source software tools in the same category).
  • However, I do understand the violation of the COI policy, and would like to ask what my options are. I can state my affiliation with the VisualLangLab website on my User page as suggested, but would that be adequate (I do understand that the eventual content of the article will be determined by consensus among a group of editors)? Or do I just allow this page to be deleted, and then request someone else to create an article with the same name?

Thank you very much for your help with this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Sanjaydasgupta54 (talk • contribs) 02:00, 4 October 2011 (UTC)

Hey there. Although I'm not related to the message Breawycker put on your talk, I can help you with it. The statement of your COI on your userpage, and possibly at any reviews the article undergoes later in its life (see WP:GAN for example) is a good idea. When writing your article, which looks ok at a first, quick glance, try to pause after every few paragraphs and read it over. If it sounds like a sales pitch (Only one tap of a button! Free microwave oven if you buy now!), then you should consider rewriting it to remove the ad-like atmosphere. Try basing it off of Java CC, for example. Remember to add a variety of reliable sources. If you need any more help, ping me on my talk page. Buggie111 (talk) 02:26, 4 October 2011 (UTC)
