Speedy deletion of Alertle

A tag has been placed on Alertle 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 a person or group of people, but it 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, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

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 (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), 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 would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. скоморохъ 00:34, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Alertle is not "a person or a group of people". It is a web application competing against Google Reader which has been referenced by several notable sources:

• http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/alertle_wants_to_make_rss_main.php
• http://mashable.com/2008/02/07/alertle/

What is your criteria for deleting the page here ?

I've restored the page, and included a {{hang on}} tag. Addhoc (talk) 01:19, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Appreciate the edits instead of just deleting it. Whats the point of the hangon on the page now ? More explanation needed ?

Hi Arkansaws, the problem is notability, so more and better sources are needed. Addhoc (talk) 01:27, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Addhoc: Looking at precedent, this page Google reader is very similar. Doesn't contain any special notable sources and only contains about 6 external sources.

Sure, but if you look for sources there are plenty available. Addhoc (talk) 01:42, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

You make a beautiful point. I give up. Later.

Alertle

Another editor has added the {{prod}} template to the article Alertle, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the {{prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Blanking of your user talk page

Hi, it's general etiquette not to blank your talk page, so I unblanked it. Cheers, Nousernamesleft^{copper, not wood} 23:49, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
