The article Gyst has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done because the article seemed to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, but it did not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the notability of the subject may be deleted at any time. If you can indicate why the subject is really notable, you are free to re-create the article, making sure to cite any verifiable sources.

Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and for specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for musicians, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. NawlinWiki (talk) 15:26, 5 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • As explained above, an article about an organization must assert that the organization is notable per WP:ORG, and needs to be supported by reliable independent sources per WP:V. A local youth theatre group doesn't meet WP:ORG. Thanks, NawlinWiki (talk) 17:27, 5 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Yes, it is Wikipedia policy. Otherwise, we'd get every school club, garage band, and in fact every person in the world who just wanted to write about themselves. But this is an encyclopedia, not MySpace. See generally Wikipedia:Notability and Wikipedia:Verifiability. NawlinWiki (talk) 17:33, 5 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      • Not really. Nobody is disputing that the organization exists and has had public performances. But the website you cited to me is a commercial site that's trying to promote the group's appearance, not an independent source. Take a look at Wikipedia:Reliable sources.
