Speedy deletion nomination of Broken generation

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 Broken generation requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about something invented/coined/discovered by the article's creator or someone they know personally, and 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.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. -- LuK3 (Talk) 19:47, 16 October 2016 (UTC)

As you can see the article has now been deleted. In answer to your comments ont he talk page I would offer the following:

• An encyclopedia generally only covers subjects that are already notable, and no evidence of notability was presented.
• In fact we actively avoid writing about the next big up and coming thing here.
• Writing about subjects where you have an inherint conflict of interest is discouraged because of situations just like this. It's hard to be subjective when you are so close to the subject.
• All that being said, if you are able to locate multiple reliable sources that discuss the subject in depth the article can always be recreated, although you may want to try drafting it first.

Hope that helps clarify things for you. Beeblebrox (talk) 20:51, 16 October 2016 (UTC)
