Speedy deletion of (Writing-PAD)

edit
 

A tag has been placed on (Writing-PAD) 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 club, 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 guidelines for people and for organizations.

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 that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the 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. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. ukexpat (talk) 13:57, 8 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

Notability of (Writing-PAD)

edit
 

A tag has been placed on (Writing-PAD) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, 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. 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. Shovon (talk) 14:03, 9 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

Writing PAD

edit

Thanks for the message on my talk page. You have a few options: 1. Ask for a deletion review by following the process described at Wikipedia:Deletion review; 2. Re-create the article as a sub-page of your user page. This would allow you to work on the article without risk of it being speedily deleted. Then when you think it's ready to be moved to the mainspace, ask a few editors to take a look at, deal with any comments, then it can be moved. Let me know if you need any help creating a sub-page. 3. Ask the admin who deleted the article both times (User:NawlinWiki) to restore it to a sub-page of your user page, then proceed as in 2. Hope this heolps.  – ukexpat (talk) 15:45, 11 July 2008 (UTC)Reply
