A tag has been placed on Wikipedia talk:Articles for creation/Matthew Berdyck, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.
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 "Click here to 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, you can place a request here. DGG ( talk ) 18:00, 26 March 2014 (UTC)
As I stated in the other post. This person, Matthew, works with Grammy Nominees, Emmy winning writers, legendary comic book artists, major cable networks, all of which have built in audiences which reach millions of people. These project are outside of his documentary film career in which he had generated 16,000+ fans by traveling the country. Matthew Berdyck does not need Wikipedia for advertizing. The suggestion that he does need it shows your real understanding of what notability is worth in the real world.
I am pointing that this "speedy deletion" is an attempt to bully Mr Berdyck and his associates for speaking our minds. The things expressed, that many artists are Wikipedians who seem to take shots at success, are true, whether you like it or not. As someone who works closely with some of the most successful and talented artists on the planet Matthew and I have both have heard many stories of Wikipedians targeting and taking down artists for personal reasons. A lot of successful artists will share the same story, of having things just like this happen to them. There is definitely personal interest effecting who is published or not. What a sad state of affairs this is.

Please do not add unreferenced or poorly referenced information, especially if controversial, to articles or any other page on Wikipedia about living persons, as you did to Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation/Help desk. If you think someone has been "discredited as a journalist", say so on your blog or Matthew's blog or in youtube videos or to the millions of people that care about what you or Matthew say; don't say so on Wikipedia unless you are prepared to provide a reference to a reliable source supporting the claim. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 21:17, 26 March 2014 (UTC)
Reliable source: Poison in the Grapes, the same piece of film used in the Ohio EPA Scott Nally's removal from office. Just because you have no talent or success does not mean that legitimate sources are not credible. Please refrain from using your personal feelings about an artist to determine notability. Your failure is showing.
