Welcome

edit

Welcome to Wikipedia. Take a look at the welcome page. To stay in Wikipedia, an article has to be about something notable, that is, of general interest. Click on Notability for an explanation of what that means, and on Notability (people) for more detail. Also, it must give independently verifiable sources. Articles that don't meet these requirements are likely to be deleted.

Notability of David Kerr (Scottish broadcaster)

edit
 

A tag has been placed on David Kerr (Scottish broadcaster) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, 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), 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. JohnCD (talk) 14:57, 1 March 2009 (UTC)Reply

  Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! I noticed that you recently added a {{hangon}} template to an article, David Kerr (Scottish broadcaster). In order for an administrator to evaluate whether the article should be speedy deleted or not, we request that you provide reasoning, on the article's talk page, for why it should remain. Thank you. Killiondude (talk) 07:47, 2 March 2009 (UTC)Reply

  • Hi. On the talk page you wrote: "he's becoming a key figure on Reporting Scotland and could be promoted to the main presenting team." This argument is addressed in WP:UPANDCOMING; see also WP:CREATIVE and WP:ENTERTAINER which indicate the notability standards for journalists and presenters.

Proposed deletion of List of song titles that are not in the song

edit
 

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article List of song titles that are not in the song, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

Not sure what this article is getting at...

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

I've deleted the list because of the discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of non-instrumental songs with titles that do not appear in the lyrics (3rd nomination).

  This is the last warning you will receive for your disruptive edits, such as those you made to Målselva. If you vandalize Wikipedia again, you will be blocked from editing.

Your talk page demonstrates a repeated history of vandalism. Hence a final warning is appropriate. However you have made a number of constructive edits which indicate a fair level of sophistication in how to edit properly on Wikipedia. Please consider changing your ways and becoming a consistently constructive editor so Wikipedia does not need to block your edits. Cheers - Williamborg (Bill) 14:59, 11 June 2009 (UTC)Reply

Repost of Jiroemon Kimura

edit

  A tag has been placed on Jiroemon Kimura requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia, because it appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion process. If you can indicate how it is different from the previously posted material, place the template {{hangon}} underneath the other template on the article and put a note on the page's discussion page saying why this article should stay. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. If you believe the original discussion was unjustified, please contact the administrator who deleted the page or use deletion review instead of continuing to recreate the page. Thank you.
