Conflict of interest[edit]
Hello, EMSguru. We welcome your contributions to Wikipedia, but if you are affiliated with some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article GridPoint, you may need to consider our guidance on conflicts of interest.
All editors are required to comply with Wikipedia's neutral point of view content policy. People who are very close to a subject often have a distorted view of it, which may cause them to inadvertently edit in ways that make the article either too flattering or too disparaging. People with a close connection to a subject are not absolutely prohibited from editing about that subject, but they need to be especially careful about ensuring their edits are verified by reliable sources and writing with as little bias as possible.
If you are very close to a subject, here are some ways you can reduce the risk of problems:
- Avoid or exercise great caution when editing or creating articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with.
- Be cautious about deletion discussions. Everyone is welcome to provide information about independent sources in deletion discussions, but avoid advocating for deletion of articles about your competitors.
- Avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Wikipedia:Spam).
- Exercise great caution so that you do not accidentally breach Wikipedia's content policies.
Please familiarize yourself with relevant content policies and guidelines, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, verifiability of information, and autobiographies.
For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have a conflict of interest, please see our frequently asked questions for organizations. Thank you.

Based on other reviewer comments researched and added additional national secondary article and book publication references: Corsell was quoted in the books "The Clean Tech Revolution" (Wikipedia page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Clean_Tech_Revolution - see page referenced in citation) as well as "Smart Energy Technologies in Everyday Life", "Environmental Management: Readings and Cases", and "The Plot to Save the Planet: How Visionary Entrepreneurs and Corporate Titans are Creating Real Solutions to Global Warming". Additional secondary source news citations are from Forbes ("It's the Network"), Inc.com ("Being Al Gore: Entrepreneurs offer advice to the veep-cum-venture capitalist"), Washington Business Journal ("Power Surge"), Forbes ("A New Generation Charges Ahead"), and CNNMoney "Fuel was cheap and pollution was free' That's what the world was like when the current energy system was designed, said GridPoint CEO Peter Corsell". In the smart grid industry Corsell has been consistently covered for almost 10 years and is a well known thought leader (EMSguru (talk) 02:37, 23 November 2013 (UTC)).
Specific reference citations added include: Dumaine, Brian (2008). The Plot to Save the Planet: How Visionary Entrepreneurs and Corporate Titans are Creating Real Solutions to Global Warming.

It appears Corsell was on two Inc. magazine covers - added those to the references as well: http://cometskateboards.com/content/comet-lands-cover-inc-magazine

The article Todd M. Raba has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- Non-notable individual lacking non-trivial support for article. Article references appear to be either trivial, lack independence or are not WP:SECONDARY in nature Appears to be a vanity piece. [
While all constructive 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. reddogsix (talk) 04:02, 21 November 2013 (UTC)
December 2013[edit]
Please do not remove Articles for deletion notices from articles or remove other people's comments in Articles for deletion pages, as you did with Peter L. Corsell. Doing so won't stop the discussion from taking place. You are, however, welcome to comment about the proposed deletion on the appropriate page. Thank you. The AfD was not closed. Please do not remove it again. reddogsix (talk) 01:25, 13 December 2013 (UTC)
My mistake-I thought SarahStierch was an administrator who had made the final determination of *Keep* and that that meant the box should come off (you'll note I intentionally left the part that said administrator use only and did not remove any comments) I didn't realize the discussion was still open. Thanks for letting me know. Could you point me to where I can learn about how a discussion is considered final and/or a determination is made?
Speedy deletion nomination of Peter L. Corsell[edit]
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Peter L. Corsell, 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. Dark Sun (talk) 16:47, 20 December 2013 (UTC)
