The article James Grant Hay has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No coverage in reliable sources and only referenced information is about his family background or self-published from his own 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 {{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.

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that you've added some links pointing to disambiguation pages. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hello AlphaProxy, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to Frank Stuart has had to be removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.

• You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Wikipedia:Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
• Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Wikipedia:Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
• Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Wikipedia:Copyrights. You may also want to review Wikipedia:Copy-paste.
• If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials.
• In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Wikipedia:Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
• Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you can, but please follow the steps in Wikipedia:Copying within Wikipedia.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa (talk) 18:20, 14 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

A tag has been placed on James Grant Hay requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. — Diannaa (talk) 18:27, 14 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Note that the article has been restored so that you can work on it, in particular, adding additional references. I will probably nominate it for AfD, but I will give you a day or two to work on it first. --MelanieN (talk) 00:26, 19 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you MelanieN, I have found news coverage supporting the subject's career in television, advertising and production below. I have to attend a wedding in New Zealand this weekend and will need more time next week to seek approval of the public documentation I am permitted to release to Wikipedia with the subject's law firm, barristers and court of jurisdiction at law. Please let me know which of these articles best reference the subject and I will add them for you. Thank you AlphaProxy (talk) 12:01, 19 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• ABC Radio Talkback: Product Placement "ABC Radio National Australia," 3 May 2004

Thanks for the above research. Here is my analysis of these new sources:

• Business Insider is acceptable as a Reliable Source, but it confirms that he is NOT the founder and president of CTVMA, but rather of the Asia-Pacific branch of CTVMA. Basically a less-than-notable position in a less-than-notable organization.
• The Sydney Morning Herald is a Reliable Source and confirms that he is connected in some way with the In Shot product placement agency.
• ABC Radio National Australia is a Reliable Source confirms that he is the managing director of the In Shot agency.
• TubeFilter is a minor industry source, but at least it is independent, and it confirms that Hay is the founder of Pixel8, and that the company produced a web series - which however does not appear to be notable.
• AdNews is a minor industry source, but it does confirm (in a passing mention) that Hay is a member of the board of BCMA, a non-notable organization.
• You could add these to the article to confirm the facts mentioned. The remaining references add nothing to the above and are narrowly focused industry sources. Of course, that does not prevent you from adding them to the article anyhow if you want.
• As for "seeking approval of the public documentation I am permitted to release", there are two problems. First, if the information is not freely available to the public - no "seeking approval" necessary - then we can't use it. Wikipedia uses only published, public material as sources. Second, the fact that you intend to ask somebody what material you are "permitted to release" suggests that you are connected in some way with Mr. Hay, or writing this article on his behalf. What is your relationship there? --MelanieN (talk) 17:01, 19 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Chances are that even when confirmed, none of these sources or activities will be considered as providing him with notability. But we can find that out with an AfD nomination. I will hold off on nominating it until next week. --MelanieN (talk) 17:01, 19 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• P.S. A style point: in a Wikipedia article we give the subject's full name in the opening sentence and infobox; then through the rest of the text we refer to him by his last name only. Unless he uses "Grant Hay" as his last name, he should be referred to as "Hay" in the text after the first mention. --MelanieN (talk) 17:07, 19 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks @MelanieN: I am back from New Zealand and have added your recommended Reliable Sources to the article. I am investigating the unsourced legal claim to improve the article, that's all. AlphaProxy (talk) 11:36, 30 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. And can you clarify your relationship with the subject or his firm? I am puzzled by what you said about "seeking approval" and "permitted to release." --MelanieN (talk) 14:43, 30 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
