Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. It appears to me that your articles Coppola Group and Nathan Coppola need to have their notability explained. I would be interested to hear why you think they meet the policies WP:CORP and WP:BIO, respectively. It would be good if you would modify these articles to reflect these reasons (and copyedit them if you have the time - they are written in rather bad English). Greetings, Sandstein05:09, 15 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Hello. In reply to your reply, the problem is not that the articles are badly written and need more work. The problem is that is not clear whether they are notable. Wikipedia is only for notable, encyclopedic subjects. Please add verifiable information on why these subjects are notable per WP:CORP and WP:BIO. This takes very little work. Unless you do, I will consider nominating these articles for deletion. Greetings, Sandstein21:48, 15 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
You suggest that I, as a Swiss, am not in a position to judge the notability of an American corporation. That is not so. Please take the time to read the Wikipedia policies WP:RS and WP:V, which state that all Wikipedia content must be based on reliable, verifiable sources. All articles must comply with this, irrespective of where their authors are from. If they do, their notability and their truthfulness can be evaluated from the sources, irrespective of the origin of the reader.
Or, in simple words: In Wikipedia, it does not matter where I come from. It does not matter where you come from. All that matters is that articles can be checked by anyone. To check articles, we need reliable sources. Without reliable sources, an article is worthless, no matter how important the subject is or how good it is written. Hope this helps.

Hello again. Since no sources verifying the existence or notability of these subjects have appeared, I have nominated the articles for deletion at WP:AfD. You are welcome to continue the discussion there or to continue to improve the articles. Sandstein04:46, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Please do not remove warnings from your talk page or replace them with offensive content. Blanking your talk page will not remove the warnings from the page history. If you continue to blank your talk page, you will lose your privilege of editing your talk page. Thanks. Sandstein18:50, 30 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
This is your last warning. Removing warnings from your talk page is considered vandalism. You will be blocked from editing Wikipedia and your talk page will be protected from editing if you do it again. Sandstein04:17, 1 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
