Speedy deletion of Socialroster

A tag has been placed on Socialroster 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 web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for web content.

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 (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 a copy be emailed to you. Dethme0w (talk) 05:06, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Socialroster

Hi, you flagged my page Socialroster for speedy deletion. I made this page and I own the site www.socialroster.com. It is a legitemate page and new startup social network that is listed on google and yahoo and all of the information I put in there is accurate. Can you please take the flag off. I own the url and feel that I should be able to list an accurate wikipedia entry about it. Thank You. Btomasette

No, you should not be able to "list a wikipedia entry" about it because you have a conflict of interest. This does not address the fact that legit or not, this article clearly fails the notability criteria. Dethme0w (talk) 05:14, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

That policy clearly says that I cannot do that UNLESS it describes and is about the software or method in which the website was made. I have now updated this and another editor has commented to keep the listing. Please remove the tags you placed for speedy deletion. Thank You!

Another editor who says he knows you, which puts him in a conflict of interest as well. You have not addressed the central issue here - this is a brand new website that has not established notability sufficient for inclusion in this encyclopedia. Wikipedia is not a directory and this article is not a listing. You don't get to have an article/advertisement about your company just for showing up. You must show that it is notable, and this you have not done. The tags will not be removed unless an administrator does so. Dethme0w (talk) 06:34, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Your recent edits

Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 05:53, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

You should wait for others to write an article about subjects in which you are personally involved, as you did at Socialroster. This applies to articles about you, your achievements, your band, your business, your publications, your website, your relatives, and any other possible conflict of interest.

Creating an article about yourself is strongly discouraged. If you create such an article, it might be listed on articles for deletion. Deletion is not certain, but many feel strongly that you should not start articles about yourself. This is because independent creation encourages independent validation of both significance and verifiability. All edits to articles must conform to Wikipedia:No original research, Wikipedia:Neutral point of view, and Wikipedia:Verifiability.

If you are not "notable" under Wikipedia guidelines, creating an article about yourself may violate the policy that Wikipedia is not a personal webspace provider and would thus qualify for speedy deletion. If your achievements, etc., are verifiable and genuinely notable, and thus suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later. (See Wikipedia:Wikipedians with articles.) Thank you. Toddst1 (talk) 23:58, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
