AfD nomination of Christopher O'Kennon

An editor has nominated Christopher O'Kennon, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not"). Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Christopher O'Kennon and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~). You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it.

Speedy deletion nomination of Tanelorn New Media

A tag has been placed on Tanelorn New Media 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, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for organizations and companies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

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 - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon 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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Question about Speedy Deletion

I was creating a page about a business I work for, just as a description of the business. I was leaving out any sort of marketing and sales talk. And it was speedy deleted before I had finished reading what speedy deletion was. Is there any situation where a business is listed in wikipedia, without them having ruined an ecosystem or broken a federal law? Just trying to make sure I don't make the same mistake again.

The business page was Tanelorn New Media. Cokennon (talk) 12:44, 12 May 2010 (UTC)

Hmm, seems we are quite the little busy bees today. I tagged the page for CSD under the notability criteria which most times means that the page receives a reasonable amount of time before being removed. But in this case a second admin (User:UtherSRG) followed up with the removal within a minute. The page itself wasn't that bad at all, but it didn't indicate why the company was notable, that is, what makes it important enough for encyclopedic inclusion. The best way to do this is by adding a few reliable sources that discuss the company at length, such as newspapers, major websites an magazines. That way the company will pass the general notability guideline which states that "If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to satisfy the inclusion criteria for a stand-alone article."

I have restored the page to your userspace, where it is now located at user:Cokennon/Tanelorn New Media. The userspace allows a user to work on an article in peace, as it won't be patrolled such as happens in the main space. Once you are ready to publish the article, you can move it to the article space. If you need assistance with creating the article, or if you want to have the article evaluated before posting it you might want to join the wikipedia-en-help chat . Alternatively you can ask for a review at WP:AFC. These help channels are operated by experienced Wikipedians who can provide some valuable advice towards creating and improving the article, which means that you will likely end up with a higher quality article which is less prone to removal. I hope this helps, Excirial ^{(Contact me,Contribs)} 12:58, 12 May 2010 (UTC)
