Speedy deletion of HotHardware

A tag has been placed on HotHardware 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. —Noah 05:23, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

moved to userspace

Hi, MojoKid HH!

I've moved the page "HotHardware" to your userspace. You can find it at User:MojoKid HH/HotHardware. Moving it to your userspace should give you time to find reliable sources and independent references. Please be sure to read Wikipedia's Notability guideline to find what will make your article safe from deletion. Thanks! -- SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 07:23, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

Hi, MojoKid HH. As it stands, the article would not pass notability muster. As it says in WP:N, notability requires "significant coverage from multiple reliable third-party sources." You may also want to review WP:WEB, which is specifically about the notability of websites.

Finally, I'm not the judge :) If you feel the article is "ready for prime-time", go ahead and move it into mainspace. You do that by clicking the "move" button (probably near the top of the page). Change the name to "HotHardware" and type in a reason. But be ready - when you do that, the article can and will be edited by other people, and there's no way you can control anything. And someone may very well nominate it for deletion.

Just some advice :) -- SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 15:34, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks SatyrnTN... what I do not understand is why you guys are singling my entry out? There are virtually dozens of other sites with very similar entries. What do you classify significant coverage from multiple third-party sources? I've listed 4 Fortune 100 companies and two VERY large web sites that reference our material. I really do not understand what needs to be done to pass "notability". Can you please shed more light? Thanks --MojoKid HH (talk) 20:58, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

Other pages existing is not a valid reason to keep this one. See WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS for more information. -- SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 20:39, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

Again, any clarification on what you feel would be sufficient coverage from third-party sources would be appreciated. I have three major Fortune 1000 companies with quotes/references and two large websites quoting our source content here. Also, I don't see the move option to push it back out to mainspace. Could you assist? Thanks! --MojoKid HH (talk) 21:38, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

Redirect of HotHardware.com

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on HotHardware.com, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because HotHardware.com is a redirect to a non-existent page (CSD R1).

Latest version of HotHardware

Hi, MojoKidHH.

If you read through Wikipedia's guidelines, it will tell you all about what reliable sources are, what "significant coverage from multiple third party reliable sources" means, and what notability is.

For instance, let's look at your references. The first one (from Slashdot) is probably you, since it's also from "MojoKid". That means you're posting original research, which is not allowed.

The second reference, from Engadget, is a brief mention that HotHardware has a review of the HP Blackbird. It has no significant coverage of HotHardware, which is what would constitute a reliable source about you.

Likewise the references at Intel, NVIDIA, and AMD are quotes from HotHardware, and the one at direct2dell is a link to HotHardware. No coverage of you at all.

If you look at one of the other articles, say The Daily WTF, the second reference on there links to Redmond Developer News, where there is an entire news story devoted to The Daily WTF. The rest of the links are horrible, btw, but that one's a good one.

So what you're looking for is:

• "significant coverage" (an article, webpage, or book)
• "from multiple" (at least two, preferably more)
• "third-party" (not quotes from you, but info about you)
• "reliable sources" (The New York Times, for example, not a letter your mom wrote)

Let me know if you still want me to move this into mainspace. -- SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 22:20, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

So I'm curious, MojoKid, are you going to follow SatyrTN's suggestions and remove the references that were called out as not allowed? It only seems fair after he went to all that trouble to help you out. —Noah 05:53, 28 February 2008 (UTC)
