advert section template[edit]

I can see why User:Lhoriman added the advert section template, probably too much information about the iBook for this article. The iBook is innovative, likely the first of its kind and has earned praise from the very prolific instructional author Wolf Marshall. I've taken the content and created a stand-alone article for the work. My thinking here is to shorten the description in the MacLennan article and provide a Template:Main to the new article User:009o9/Melodic Expressions (iBook). Without objection, I'll consider the proposal a non-controversial edit. Thanks! 009o9 (talk) 06:26, 9 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Honestly, the entire article reads like a promotion. As does your comment above. 009o9, do you have a WP:CONFLICT for this article? Lhoriman (talk) 22:38, 9 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

My disclosure is directly above this section, other than being commissioned to write this article and the fact that I like MacLennan's work, there is no COI. The Melodic Expressions article is an unpaid voluntary work. About, your comment "...the entire article reads like a promotion." I don't see anything that doesn't conform with WP:BLP and establishing notability. Finally, would you mind indenting your comments so participants can follow who and what you are responding to?

It's been over three weeks now and I'm still trying to identify where any of the following applies to this article:

(from Template:Advert emphasis mine)

When to use
Add this to articles that need help from other editors because they sound like advertisements. For example, they may tell users to buy the company's product, provide price lists, give links to online sellers, or use unencyclopedic or meaningless buzzwords.
The advert tag is for articles that are directly trying to sell a product to our readers. Don't add this tag simply because the material in the article shows a company or a product in an overall positive light or because it provides an encyclopedic summary of a product's features.'

This article simply describes the MacLennan's works, the section contains no links to price lists, online sellers or sales pitch. If there are "buzzwords," let's identify them and see if they are included in the Wikipedia. I'm still willing to break out the Melodic Melodies into its own article (unpaid) to get this resolved. 009o9 (talk) 18:04, 5 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Another month passes by[edit]

Another month has passed and I have exhibited above why the section flag is inappropriate. I presume there is no longer contention with the article and will make the necessary non-controversial edits. 009o9 (talk) 19:37, 11 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Two more months have passed, I see no contention here, removing Template:Advert as per instruction on the page. 009o9 (talk) 22:46, 15 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
