Proposed deletion of Global Risk Management

The article Global Risk Management has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non-notable company, Google news search finds no relevant coverage fails WP:COMPANY

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the Proposed Deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The Speedy Deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and Articles for Deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. RP459 (talk) 16:28, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

• Reply: Hello RP459. I've removed the notice, having (in my opinion) improved the article by adding more notes and sources to underline the notability of the company. I'm still working on the page, and adding more sources as time allows.

I can understand why the notability question arose, having conducted a Google News search myself. It did throw up a lot of results for this company, but almost all of the content was hidden on subscription-based industry websites, such as Bunkerworld. A general Google web search is somewhat more revealing, although the generic nature of the company's name requires a lot of sifting.

On reflection, I ought to have collected a larger number of English language sources before composing the page, rather than the other way around (as I later learned in the "Create a page" guidelines). There are many more Danish language sources I have at hand, but I think to have added more of them would have been counterproductive, from a usability point of view. Better left for a Danish language version.

Well, I'm a beginner at this. Next time I'll know. I'd really appreciate any further observations, tips and/or feedback on this page if you have any. Thanks. Dkeditor (talk) 19:22, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

................

To quote wikipedia itself, "neutrality trumps popularity." As mentioned previously, the Google News search fails to reveal a lot of trade media sources that are subscription-based (particularly common in the maritime business). A regular Google web search reveals a number of these in regards to the company in question. Google News search also omits non-English language news items about this company -- which is, after all, based in Denmark.

"Raw "hit" (search result) count is a very crude measure of importance. Some unimportant subjects have many "hits", some notable ones have few or none..." from [the Search Engline Test page]

In order to establish notability. I've therefore continued to add more "Notes" to the page, which now include verifiable sources such as Denmark's national news agency, several national newspapers, and non-subscription trade media websites in English and Danish. I've chosen a spread of dates, from 2006 to today (Bunker Index is one of several daily online bunker sites that carry Global Risk Management oil price assessments. Unfortunately, the others are subscription based).

A word about the Danish sources: A number of the sources I've included are articles by national newspapers using Global Risk Management for quotes and analysis on shifts in the oil price. I think that adds even more weight to the notability of the company. If in doubt, perhaps it might be useful to call in a Scandinavian editor to verify the notability of the Danish sources.

I'm a newcomer to this, so could somebody give me feedback to this reply i.e. is it posted in the right place, and in the right manner.

Thanks. Dkeditor (talk) 10:59, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

WP:CONFLICT#Financial

I noticed this edit [2] and thought that I should point out WP:CONFLICT#Financial, while there is no express policy against paid editing, there are certain things to watch out for if you are indeed paid editing... RP459 (talk) 17:12, 13 September 2009 (UTC)

Reply: Thanks RP459 for the heads up on that. I am aware of Wikipedia's policy on conflict of interest -- including the financial aspect of it. Any editing I do on Wikipedia is completely voluntary and, I hope my peers will agree, written from a neutral point of view. If subjectivity has crept into an edit of mine, please let's discuss. Thanks.Dkeditor (talk) 12:24, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

Nothing to discuss, I just noticed the edit and wanted to point it out... Thanks for the reply. RP459 (talk) 13:31, 14 September 2009 (UTC)

Nobel Prize

Hey! I saw you as a member on the Guild of Copy-Editors and am wondering if you could help me out with an article I am working on, the Nobel Prize. A quite important article since, many link to it etc. I think the content is starting to get good but it really needs some copy-editing which I apparently isn't suited for. Do you have any chance to help out?--Esuzu 18:25, 14 January 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Esuzu (talk • contribs)
