Deletion of article on "Blogdecs"[edit]

(Copied from User talk:DESiegel):

Mr. Siegel:

It's true. I indulged myself with a fanciful, future look-back on blogdecs in the spirit of Encyclopedia Galactica, Manual of Muad'Dib, or Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Guilty. But I did want to encapulate the concept of blogdecs as the "get-to-the-point", limited expressions I feel blogs should be, and I have promoted that concept on my site, BlogsAreStupid.Com. The 100-word blog essay, (also encouraged by 100words.net), needs a verbal coinage, and "blogdec" is my two cents. If be it must unwhimsical and no-nonsense, then I would be most pleased to generate a more formal and sober entry for your publication.

Thank you for your time and attention of my above blogdec,

Note that although I actually delted the entry, another user tagged it for deletion, and i was following our Speedy deletion criteria. Wikipedia is not the palce for humerous or farciacal fiction. Nor is it the place for personal essays on the way things ought to be. Wikipedia is intended to report already published and notable information on the way things are. Our verifiability and original research policies are relevant to this point. as a result, we normaly do not include even "formal and sober" entries on newly coined terms until there is outside verifiable evidenc that they have at least moderately wide acceptance or usage. If your site BlogsAreStupid.Com is itself notable or influential, than an arricle about it might be appropriate. Note our guidelines for inclusion of web sites. Note also Wikipedia:autobiography which indicates why a person is generally discouraged from writing about himself or herself, or his or her own work. Alternatively, if your views represent a significant point of view, it might be aprpopriate to incorporate a mention of them in our Blog article, with a citation to your site, or to 100words.net. That could be discussed at Talk:Blog. I thank you for your desire to contribute to Wikipedia, and I hope yuou will make other contributions. I hope this message is helpful. I assure you that I am not hostile to your point of view (indeed I am not particularly a fan of blogs myself) -- I am merely upholding wikipedias established policies for what should and should not be included. Of course I am only one of many volunteers who contribute to this site, and my own views, as opposed to policy pages, are in no way official. DES ^(talk) 18:07, 22 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
