[edit]

A tag has been placed on Canadian Classifieds requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, 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 assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

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 page (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. Orange Mike | Talk 20:51, 20 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted page

[edit]

Hi BMartin, thanks for contacting me.

Of course I'm well aware of USENET, and I can understand the uniqueness of using USENET with the web to conduct business.

Uniqueness does not make for notability, in the sense of Wikipedia's purpose. The article would need outside verified reliable sources to demonstrate encyclopedic notability. If you can create the article to satisfy our policies and guidelines, then all is well. As the article was when I deleted it, it did not demonstrate these qualities.

Contact me with any other questions, Keegantalk 05:01, 28 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
