Claim of importance or significance?

Hi, I'm a relatively new editor, and I had a question for you. I noticed that you marked the page Painkiller already for speedy deletion under A7. I had been considering doing the same thing myself, but I was held back by the "claims of importance or significance." I can't really find anything on what exactly it means by "importance or significance," other than that it's a lesser requirement than notability. I wasn't sure if, in the article in question, the claims of an interview with someone at least notable enough for their own Wikipedia article constituted a claim of importance in itself. Do you know if there are any pages that give information about this, or, since you seem to have been around here a long time, do you have any advice of your own? Thanks, Writ Keeper (talk) 17:52, 14 October 2011 (UTC)

You can find information regarding notability here. The guidelines pertinent to the article you're referencing are here. You'll notice that Painkiller already does not meet any of the criteria stated in that article. Xenocide^Talk^|^Contributions 17:58, 14 October 2011 (UTC)

MOTDs (This space for rent)

You may have noticed over the past few days that the MOTD that you link to on your user page has simply displayed a red link. This is due to the fact that not enough people are reviewing pending MOTDs here. Please help us keep the MOTD template alive and simply go and review a few of the MOTDs in the list. That way we can have a real MOTD in the future rather than re-using (This space for rent). Any help would be appreciated! –pjoef (talk • contribs) 14:05, 7 March 2012 (UTC)

Edits on Fredrik Neij

I was just reviewing the reverts you made on Fredrik Neij from user User:95.34.110.132 I was just looking through it. I do not see how what he put, with citation, could be constituted as vandalism... could you shed some light onto this revert? Thanks! Jab843 (talk) 22:00, 9 February 2013 (UTC)

Citation? There is no citation. He simply linked to the movie's article, which makes no mention of such a thing. Looks like nothing more than an attempt to disparage this person's reputation. Xenocide^Talk^|^Contributions 22:08, 9 February 2013 (UTC)

Sounds good! Thanks was just getting another view. Jab843 (talk) 22:10, 9 February 2013 (UTC)

Chris Brown (American entertainer) article

Hello, TheXenocide. Here and here, I pondered what you meant by your removal, other than the source not covering the exact wording you removed. Do you mind clarifying in what way you think that the domestic violence case didn't negatively affect Brown's career? I ask because, like I addressed in that second edit summary, it definitely negatively affected his public image. If you are separating his public image from his career, I understand your point.

Also, you don't have to leave me a talk-back notice if you reply here on your talk page; I'll watch your talk page for a little while for a response. Flyer22 (talk) 04:03, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

Well, you seem to have done a lot of work on the article so I'll bow to your judgement if you wish to undo my edit. That sentence caught my attention as I was reading through the introduction after hearing one of his songs on the radio. It seemed extremely vague and, in my mind at least, difficult to support. While his image was certainly affected, I don't think this factors into his 'career'. Perhaps if some link was drawn to changes in his music and how it was received critically or, more importantly, commercially it would make more sense. I don't know much about his sales and other factors of the discussion, but I'm of the opinion that introductions should be both concise and straightforward. I think that this line violated the latter rule.Xenocide^Talk^|^Contributions 23:22, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

Per what I and you stated above, I don't contest your edit. Also, I've mainly edited the Domestic violence case section of that article. Most of the rest of the article is the way it is because of others. Thanks for explaining what you meant by the domestic violence case not seeming to have negatively affected his career. There is even a line in the Domestic violence case section from a critic who feels that it didn't negatively affect his career; there may be one or more other critics who feel differently, but their opinions obviously aren't currently in the article. Flyer22 (talk) 23:31, 17 March 2013 (UTC)

I just looked at the comment from the critic; he stated: "A fairly substantial backlash resulted in Brown’s songs being pulled from rotation on several radio stations. Ultimately, however, it had little bearing on the progress of his music and acting careers."

That text reminds me that the domestic violence case did negatively affect Brown in a significant way directly related to his music career, which is also addressed in the first paragraph of the Domestic violence case section. Either way, your edit was still obviously valid. In the future, I or someone else may add something to the article's lead about how the domestic violence case negatively affected Brown's public image and/or career, per WP:LEAD, but I'm in no rush to do so.
