A tag has been placed on SPORTSGIST, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group or service and which would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. If you can indicate why SPORTSGIST is really not blatant advertising, I advise you to edit the article promptly, and also put a note on Talk:SPORTSGIST. An admin should check for such edits before deleting the article. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Please read our criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11 under General criteria. You might also want to read the guidelines on spam. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. To contest the tagging and request that admins should wait a while for you to assert why the article is not blatant advertising, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and then immediately add such an assertion. It is also a very good idea to add citations from reliable sources to ensure that your article will be verifiable. Fan-1967 01:48, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
- There are tens of thousands of social networking sites. This is one of them. Unless you can provide independent, third-party Reliable Sources that indicate this is special in some way, but I see no indication of that. (And don't remove the other tag when you add the {{hangon}} tag). Fan-1967 01:56, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
