The article Fanbox.com 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. FreplySpang 12:12, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
I have rolled back your edits. The Anglo-Saxon derivation is cited / referenced. Your assertion is not. Please provide a reference for your assertion if you wish to re-insert. There are few, if any, linguistics links between Arabic and Anglo-Saxon. Ian Cairns (talk) 13:41, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
although i don't have any documented sources in english, the word have a very strange resemblance to the arabic word Ardh, which was at the very least, used in the fifth century, as opposed to the Anglo-Saxon word which as stated originates in the eighth century.
and the word Ardh is documented in the holy quran, which was written in the sixth century.
and, European languages has borrowed a lot of Arabic words.. for example: Alcohol, Algebra, Sugar which are the most common. Knightofbaghdad (talk) 14:13, 25 April 2010 (UTC)
- Your source says "The German word Erde (earth) is in Arabic ardh or erdh, but it is difficult to say the origin of this word which may nearly be as old as the Earth itself.". This quote does not substantiate a derivation between Arabic and the contemporaneous Early German / Anglo-Saxon. As well as VSmith, I have also reverted your continued additions.

Speedy deletion nomination of ISheep edit
A tag has been placed on ISheep, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to have no meaningful content or history, and the text is unsalvageably incoherent. If the page you created was a test, please use the sandbox for any other experiments you would like to do. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard. Feel free to leave a message on my talk page if you have any questions about this.
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. -- Jack?! 16:07, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
