Speedy deletion nomination of United Stacker Films

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 United Stacker Films 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 an organization or company, but it does not credibly 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 read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

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.

Notability and writing about oneself

Hi! I got the impression that you're likely the short film's director or someone directly involved, given that there's very little out there about this short or the production company.

Ultimately what happened here is that you created articles on topics that don't pass Wikipedia's notability guidelines at this point in time, meaning that they haven't been the focus of coverage in independent and reliable sources like news articles. Don't take this badly - few people start out in their career without a lot of fanfare or notice and few people gain coverage even after having been out for a few years. It takes an awful long time to get to the point where people can even have small articles on Wikipedia. It's just far too soon for a student production and their company to have an article on Wikipedia.

Now what I do recommend is that you keep plugging away on making your films and putting them out there in places like YouTube. You might want to look into joining up with some of the film groups on the Internet so you can connect with filmmakers from all over the world, as getting a wide world view could help your final productions and growth. I would also recommend that you submit your work to small film festivals. I noticed in your YouTube presentation that you intended to submit the short to FrightFest and I encourage you to do just that. However FF is a fairly big film festival and it's sometimes easy for shorts to get overlooked and difficult to really get a lot of feedback. Smaller film festivals will allow you to have more one on one with others, so I'd recommend that you try to go to smaller ones as well as the bigger ones. (Smaller film festivals might also be able to give you feedback on the short if they decline to screen it, whereas bigger festivals can't really do that since they have so many submissions.)

You should also look into setting up a website and/or a blog via one of the various free places. Blogs might be a little easier at first since you could give running commentaries and connect with your audience, but a website might be nice as well. I know that Wix and Blogger are two places that offer free web hosting and blogging, so I'd start there. Tokyogirl79 (｡◕‿◕｡) 04:28, 14 June 2016 (UTC)
