Thank you.
 

The article The Law Offices of Bovino & Associates has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done because the article, which appeared to be about a real person, individual animal, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, did not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the notability of the subject may be deleted at any time. If you can indicate why the subject is really notable, you are free to re-create the article, making sure to cite any verifiable sources.

Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and for specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for musicians, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. NawlinWiki (talk) 22:54, 3 July 2012 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of David Andrew Bovino

edit
 

The article David Andrew Bovino has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Except for refs about his attack, there are no refs that are about him. The refs are about the trials. There needs to be independent, reliable references about Mr. Bovinio per WP:SOURCE.

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 {{proposed deletion/dated}} 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 {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

the lawsuit

edit

I have deleted the page Robyn Frankel v. Palo Alto Medical Foundation Group as pure advertising, under provision G11 of WP:CSD, because that was clearly the intention and the effect.

There have been a number of attempts to write articles on the attorney, and the firm, all of which have been deleted, and protected against re-creation this has been been protected as well, to prevent further use of Wikipedia for advertising. I would be willing to unprotect if an uninvolved editor proposed to write an article.

In case you or anyone should want some further explanation, I note with respect to this particular article:

  1. the unsourced wording "especially significant" , "landmark verdict"
  2. The promotional sentence "the patient turned to [the particular attorney] and his professional counsel at [his particular firm]."
  3. the list breaking down the damages into the multiple various components, with subtotals and totals, to magnify the extent of the article. .
  4. the emphasis, repeated three times, on how it was won even though it had been first dismissed with prejudice.
  5. the emphasis throughout of the special role of the individual attorney for the case.
  6. The failure to mention what was clearly stated in the sources, that the firm was not the only attorney for the claimant in the case. In fact, he was not even the lead counsel; The most detailed of the sources says specifically that "Jeffrey S. Mitchell of the San Francisco firm Emison Hullverson Mitchell LLP came on as co-counsel in 2011 and, as lead counsel, tried the case with [the attorney you have been writing articles about]"
  7. The failure to mention what one of the sources specifically quotes one of her attorneys from this firm as saying "an appeal by the Medical Foundation is expected and is standard in such cases"
  8. the claim on the firm's website http://bovinolaw.com/ that "Wikipedia features [the firm's] case here [link to the now deleted article on Wikipedia]"
  9. the extremely weak claim to notability, that it was "one of the highest awarded in a medical malpractice lawsuit in the history of Santa Clara County, California." -- not claiming to be the highest in California, or even in that one county.
  10. The use of a reference from the promotional site of a malpractice law firm.
  11. The BLP-violating characterization of the defendants. Such statements as were made here would have to be quoted from a definite source, and I notice none of the news sources listed used these terms.

I view of what I have found by a detailed examination of the article and the sources, I revise my previous warning, and am blocking you indefinitely as an entirely promotional editor. The formal notice will follow DGG ( talk ) 07:41, 18 November 2012 (UTC)Reply


 
You have been blocked indefinitely from editing for advertising or promotion. From your contributions, this seems to be your only purpose. If you think there are good reasons why you should be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding below this notice the text {{unblock|reason=Your reason here ~~~~}}, but you should read the guide to appealing blocks first.
