Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Behind Tinted Glasses
Non-notable, crystal ball, vanity piece. Prod removed by author -- Merope 15:38, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
- Comment Hello Merope, I understand you're meaning to delete this page on Behind Tinted Glasses, but please hear me out. I have read your Wikipedia page and I see that you monitor new pages like these. Behind Tinted Glasses is a movie that we used our whole summer doing and used all the resources we could come up with. We renovated out school and covered every inch of ground in out county and more. This page was not to boost our egos at all but to tell the few people that know about this movie what it is truely about. As you can see on the page we spent a lot of time making the page and it wasn't for a mere boost of ego, you have my word. This might not have had a chance to get in in movie search engines or even independent movie search engines, well that's because it is only in post production. As you see in the article, we set our own budgets, which was a lot of money that could have been used elsewhere in this Summer. We are extremely dedicated independent film directors and do way more than just home movies. We make films and we are debating holding a community gathering for the film later this year. This film might not be large yet, but it is only a beginning to our filming company, Plastic Swords Production. We are trying to get that legalized at the moment. So I really plea to you that you allow this article to stay. It is not close to being finished and will be worked hard on for the next few days. We were meaning to put a whole lot more content on there, but it was just made last night. We are 15 and 16 year old dedicated film makers. *CommentYours Truely, Nathan Couch
- Comment. Hi, Nathan. Unfortunately, Wikipedia is not a free web-hosting site. I understand and appreciate that a great deal of time, effort, and financial resources went into making this film; however, Wikipedia is not the appropriate place to advertise your movie. -- Merope 15:56, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

- Comment How long before this is deleted? We would still work as hard as possible around the clock to make it a suitable and professional looking article and correct grammar mistakes and everything that goes along with a wikipedia article. Wouldn't it be suitable if we made an article about our filming company? We are not advertising at all. I've been on wiki for 3 years now and have seen indie films and companies. I am not here to argue at all, please don't get me wrong. I would so appreciate it if it would be allowed a bit more time to be polished. Yours Truely, Nathan Couch
- Comment. Unfortunately, it is not the quality of the article that is at stake--if it were a case of that, I would help. The problem is that the subject of the article fails WP's policies concerning vanity articles, advertising, and, sadly, notability. Once your film is finished and you do send it to Sundance (and it receives recognition), then perhaps the article can be recreated. As it stands, there isn't anything (in my opinion) that you could add to it to change the outcome of the vote. -- Merope 16:05, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
- For starter's review the criteria at WP:V and WP:OR for some idea of the kind of changes needed if the article were to be kept (and I'm not sure it'd be possible) WilyD 16:06, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
- Delete Per WilyD's comments and Merope's as well...dang you! You beat me to the punch in stating those! *chuckle* I think this also may fail the school day policy. I also added 'comment' tags to Nathen's statements --Bschott 16:09, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
- CommentThanks for all of your help, really. I understand all of your decisions to make this article deleted. But if this had one public appearence and was recognized (not on the web but in the city) could it have a shot on wikipedia? So how long until this long piece of work gets trashed? I read the articles briefly... so there's not a shot of keeping it? So I should just quit adding?
