Speedy deletion nomination of Meilin

edit
 

You may also wish to consider using the the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Meilin requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, 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. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (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 article's 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 confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Mestere (talk) 19:10, 25 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

Hello, I am creating the entertainer / singer Meilin from China's wikipedia page. You can verify her career path in Google, on Baidu, etc. Thank you for helping me make this as complete as possible for her life's career and future ahead. Here are links to support it please verify and allow us to create her official wiki pedia page. Thank you!

Here is one of many articles written about her this one from China Daily the largest English Speaking New Paper in China: http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/metro/2010-06/25/content_10018331.htm

Speedy declined, but deletion possible

edit

I declined the Speedy deletion nomination presented for this article, because there is an assertion of notability. However, every notable event (the TV competition win, the "Beauty and the Beast" recording, the state dinner performance) lacks a verifiable, independent reference (none of them are mentioned in the China Daily article linked above). Without them, Meilin does not meet the requirements for notability. I will hold off for a week, giving the article creator time to find references for each of the assertions presented in the article; if they are not added to the article, I will send it to Wikipedia:Articles for Deletion, where the community will discuss the article. Articles without suitable references generally do not survive the AFD process. Horologium (talk) 20:11, 25 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for pointing those out. So I removed the iTunes link, left the Myspace ones as you said it was okay. There are THOUSANDS of sites about Meilin and HUNDREDS of articles all over Google and Baidu, I attached some links bellow for you to see. Can I change my user name by the way? I did not realize the name was a bad choice. I am trying to create this artist page with the best neutral knowledge I have and sources. Can you help me out so this does not get deleted? The purpose is not to promote it's to inform. And I want to link her name to Nicholas Tse's page and to the Beauty and The Beast Movie 1991 page that mentions her name.
