NO! You just deleted it without providing that information you just wrote. I think you just troll around looking for things to delete rather than doing some research to help the article you and your fanboys just delete stuff without helping.. People like you should be stripped of there privvilages.--[[User:Ronjohn|Ron John]] ([[User talk:Ronjohn|talk]]) 18:10, 28 February 2012 (UTC) |

UserTalk: Laura Markowitz for In the Family Wikipedia entry
Many thanks for taking the time to look at my new (and first!) Wikipedia entry. If I understand you correctly, there is some confusion regarding In the Family Magazine receiving awards because they were given to me (in my name) rather than in the name of the magazine. Or were you having trouble verifying the awards? The links to the awards are: American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy and the American Family Therapy Academy awards are listed on a PDF accessed at the bottom of this page: AFTA.
As for reliable sources to verify my entry, I would be grateful for any tips. The magazine has been out of print for seven years, and even when we were publishing, we had a very low-key web presence. A few of our authors reprinted their In the Family Magazine articles in other publications, which appear online (two of which I included under References). There are quite a few more, including In the Family Magazine's S/M Issue discussion and verification of our Contributing Editors' involvement with the magazine, such as Suzanne Iasenza. Please let me know if these are acceptable as verifiable sources, and if you recommend that I add more to the entry.
All ten volumes of the magazine are indexed and available on pay-for-use sites such as ProQuest and EBSCO. To find it listed on ProQuest, you can click here ProQuest and download the spreadsheet file of SIRS Issue Researcher list. To find it on EBSCO, click on EBSCO and you will find it under LGBT Life (it's another spreadsheet file). Do you recommend that I add these links to the Wikipedia entry?
I would be very grateful for any other ideas you might have for how I can strengthen my entry.
My thanks,

- Several topics here, so I'll have a go at each of them:
- The awards are in the name of Laura Markowitz, someone I assume to be you. They confer some notability on LM, not on the magazine. so that is a challenge. A citation to associate LM's winning the award with the magazine's winning the award is vital here.
- The links to verify the awards are good links, albeit primary sources. The probem is that they verify LM's winning them
- The references you quote above are borderline. You need read to and absorb WP:RS
- Never assume that the only citations have to be to web based media. Print media is fine, but it needs to be a full citaton to date, volume, page number, etc. Broadcast media is fine, too.
- A slight side issue, but please become familiar with the button which appears when the edit window is open. Citations are your friend.
- Another side issue: HTML markup such as <br /> is almost entirely unnecessary here
- I'm ambivalent about adding the links to the article except as citations to any reference in the article to the fact that they are indexed. One must always beware being seen to be promotional
- Even of the article should fail to stay here this time round, promise me you will not get discouraged. You might find this essay useful when you recreate it. If it is deleted I hope you or someone spends time recreating it. However you do need to be aware that your contributions to an article on a magazine you founded are seen as a conflict of interest.

Thank you for your help and encouragement. I am going to see if I can find someone who has more experience using Wikipedia's tools to help me do this correctly. It's complicated, but I believe I can provide the appropriate references and citations to make this a reliable resource for readers. I'm glad to know print citations are acceptable. I've got lots of those for In the Family Magazine. Best wishes,

Speedy deletion converted to PROD: OCFHollaines
Hello Timtrent. I am just letting you know that I have converted the speedy deletion tag that you placed on OCFHollaines to a proposed deletion tag, because I do not believe CSD applies to the page in question. Thank you. Danger High voltage! 15:05, 25 February 2012 (UTC)
- Thanks for the notification. I will watch this with interest. Fiddle Faddle (talk) 15:06, 25 February 2012 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of Jimmy Henchman
Before you go nominating stuff for speedy deletion you should use this thing called Google and do a wiki search. You will see Jimmey Henchman mentioned in dozens of wikipedia pages, administrators like you make people not want to contribute....--Ron John (talk) 23:04, 25 February 2012 (UTC)
- Please try to remain civil and read the criteria for inclusion of an article. Fiddle Faddle (talk) 23:05, 25 February 2012 (UTC)
Before deleting you should maybe help out rather than take the easy route and delete... I do want I want...--Ron John (talk) 11:52, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
- At the time I nominated it for deletion it was an article saying it was about Henchman and was in reality about his company. Henchman just featured in the opening line. So I suggested it be deleted. Others suggested not. That is what consensus is about. Consensus prevailed. Good. I care, but not that much. Fiddle Faddle (talk) 15:26, 26 February 2012 (UTC)

I don't usually delete things with as much detail under 'context'. This time I did, and am still wondering what it was about. If that was an explanation on the talk page, it didn't help... 8-] Peridon (talk) 18:29, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
- It was either that or waste a lot of time as a non notable neologism and an AfD. I think I also flagged it as advertising, which was also true. It advertised the neologism, and was by the neologist. The talk page descended into 'something'! Fiddle Faddle (talk) 18:31, 26 February 2012 (UTC)
