Speedy deletion nomination of Employment Nigeria (www.employmentng.com)

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 Employment Nigeria (www.employmentng.com) 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 web content, 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, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, 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. Acroterion (talk) 17:09, 11 June 2011 (UTC)

Question

Thanks Acroterion for specifying the reason the article was marked for deletion. Well, I just wanted to find out if there are other reasons why it will still be marked for deletion. Also, you could please give me suggestions on how to improve the article. Thanks! Dapofrank (talk) 18:14, 11 June 2011 (UTC)

The key thing that you have to demonstrate is Notability, a requirement to have a Wikipedia article, which is not a matter of opinion but has to be demonstrated by showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." Significant means more than just listing-type mentions; reliable excludes Myspace, Facebook, blogs, places where anyone can post anything; independent excludes the subject's own website, affiliated ones and anything based on press releases. The test is, have people independent of the subject thought it important and significant enough to write substantial comment about? See also WP:Notability (web).

Apart from that, see WP:Your first article and WP:Writing better articles and the WP:FAQ/Organizations for good advice, and take care to avoid "peacock terms" like "unique" - Wikipedia is very resistant to anything that sounds promotional. JohnCD (talk) 19:36, 13 June 2011 (UTC)

Thanks a million! JohnCD
