User talk:Moonsunny

I am trying to design a page for the film 'Little Giants' - a social/sports documentary based upon one day in 1987 when the Uefa Cup Final came to Dundee, Scotland. I am new to this and don't really know where to start? This is a trailer of that film -[1]. Any help will be useful!

Response in help desk, copied here[edit]

You are currently working on that article in your user space. If anyone wants to look at it and provide helpful comments, it is here: 'Little_Giants'_(1987) That is exactly the right place to start an article. Short of serious problems like copy violations or libel, no one is going to propose that your article be deleted if it isn't quite ready.

However, it is not generally visible to others. People using the search option won't find it.

When it is ready for the mainspace, it can be moved to the mainsapce. Once it is in the mainspace it can be found seconds after moving if you know the name, and within a couple hours if you use a search. You won't see a move tab for a couple more days, you need ten edits (which you have) and four days(which you don't have.) If you think it is ready and don't want to wait, another editor can move it for you.

I haven't looked at the content myself, so I don't know whether to recommend it be moved at this time, perhaps someone else will comment on that.--SPhilbrick T 13:21, 23 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Article[edit]

I'm sorry I must redact my response to your help page question. After looking more closely, there are a multitude of problems here:

It is a non-objective journalistic essay rather than an encyclopedia entry. Only objective neutral and verifiable encyclopedic information is acceptable.
You can't use wikipedia articles as references.
You can't use YouTube as a ref or even link to it.
There are no wikilinks.
There is a notability issue as Google doesn't have much of anything I could see.

I would recommend further learning about writing articles since this draft as it is would not be acceptable and would be deleted fairly quickly. Mjpresson (talk) 16:35, 24 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Help links[edit]

If I may, here are some links to help you write a Wikipedia style article:

Re: article[edit]

One thing I should have mentioned. Your essay is excellent and you are to be commended for it! It's just that, if you checked some of the links I provided, you saw that this type of essay isn't something WP allows--it's one of the things "Wikipedia Isn't". We want you to stay--your skills would be appreciated here. Also, if just a couple third party sources of backup can be provided, notability could perhaps be established and an objective encyclopedia type article could be written. There are rules but boldness is encouraged here. There are also (I believe) other Wikimedia projects where you could post it as is such as one of the Wikias.

Speedy deletion nomination of User:Moonsunny/'Little Giants' (1987)[edit]

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on User:Moonsunny/'Little Giants' (1987), requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.
It appears to consist of writings, information, discussions, and/or activities not closely related to Wikipedia's goals. Please note that Wikipedia is not a free Web hosting service. (See section U5 of the criteria for speedy deletion.)

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. —Compassionate727 ^(T·C) 23:35, 7 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]
