Welcome!

Hello, Sampack, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as PFF Entertainment, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may soon be deleted.

Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on this page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

A tag has been placed on PFF Entertainment requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Acroterion (talk) 13:45, 3 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The article Sexy Slang has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No indication of notability through independent sources

While all 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. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Acroterion (talk) 13:47, 3 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Nomination of Sexy Slang for deletion[edit]

How can I prevent deletion to the Sexy Slang article?[edit]

Added source[s] to notable independent media will prevent deletion? Sampack (talk) 08:53, 6 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

If you can add reliable sources to the article, it will demonstrate that the article passes the general notability guideline, and as such it will not be deleted. Reaper Eternal (talk) 10:46, 6 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you Reaper Eternal! I believe I have done that. Please let me know if the sources added are reliable (I see the list of reliable sources that you have provided, I just feel as though these are a bit harder to categorize considering one is an interviews on news sites). Sampack (talk) 15:43, 6 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry to step in here: Interviews are tricky to assess, for sure, and their weight depends a little on whether you're asking if they count as "verifying" information int the interview vs. whether it demonstrates notability. For what it's worth, I've included a couple more sources in the AfD discussion--you may want to add them to the article if you think they're relevant. I found the passing Ebony magazine references via Google Books, the St. Petersburg Times via a plain web search. It's my personal take that taken altogether that's "enough" and "reliable enough", and I've indicated my opinion on the deletion discussion there as a result, but the deletion discussion will go on a few more days before we get a final decision by consensus. --joe deckertalk to me 22:26, 6 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
