Speedy deletion nomination of Memefest- International festival of radical communication 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 Memefest- International festival of radical communication 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 an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} 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 hang-on 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. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Peacock (talk) 14:17, 17 November 2010 (UTC)Reply

Status and Advice edit

As reviewing administrator, I deleted the article, both because there were no references showing importance, and , more critically, because it seems so thoroughly promotional that it would require complete rewriting.

You need to show notability with references providing substantial coverage from 3rd party independent published reliable sources, print or online, but not blogs or press releases, or material derived from press releases You also need to write like an encyclopedia article, not a press release--don't praise yourself, say what you do. Don't give extensive background--give a concise encyclopedia description. Do not give contact information, or talk about hopes for future events. And, do not copy from a web site -- even though you gave us permission according to WP:DCM, the tone is almost always not suitable. For further information see our FAQ about business, organizations, and articles like this and also WP:FIRST. I advise you to not restore the article unless you improve it as specified.
