Speedy deletion of Forsaken Realm Online
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/15/Ambox_warning_pn.svg/48px-Ambox_warning_pn.svg.png)
A tag has been placed on Forsaken Realm Online, 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 blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}}
to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the article or have a copy emailed to you.

Forsaken Realm Online
[edit]You need to show that Forsaken Realm Online is Notable. The specific criteria for notability of web content are here. The Kingdom of Loathing page establishes notability through the number of users and its ability to self-fund through donations. As for advertising, as I recall the article had phrases like "come and see what's going on" (I forget the exact details) which are not encylopedic, and are aimed at getting more users. The fact that there is no direct cost is not relevant to whether you are promoting something. I recommend that you stick around editing some articles and getting a flavour of wikipedia; read some of the articles and guides linked above; and seek advice before creating your first article. regards, TrulyBlue (talk) 16:13, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
