User talk:Kevinmik

Welcome!

Hello, Kevinmik, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, like Cied, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for page creation, and may soon be deleted.

You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles. See the Article Wizard. Thank you.

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on this page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

Speedy deletion nomination of Cied

A tag has been placed on Cied 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, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for web content. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

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 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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Please do not remove speedy deletion notices from pages you have created yourself, as you did with Cied. Please use the {{hangon}} template on the page instead if you disagree with the deletion, and make your case on the page's talk page. Thank you. You ask "WHYYYYYYYYY?" (rough paraphrase), and the answer is available if you read the notices posted here. Notability is not automatic just because you posted a website online. Read the notability guidelines linked in the notices. —ShadowRanger ^(talk|stalk) 17:39, 6 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Just to be clear, the problem isn't the lack of content, it's the lack of notability. You need independent coverage of your website, along with the other requirements listed at WP:WEB. A stub article can be notable, but a long article without a claim to, or references supporting notability doesn't make the cut. —ShadowRanger ^(talk|stalk) 17:41, 6 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of CiedWeb

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

A tag has been placed on CiedWeb, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, 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. Swimnteach (talk) 23:55, 23 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

RE: CiedWeb

Well unfortunately the article read like an advertisement and there were no third party sources. Perhaps you might want to try to make it more encyclopedic. Swimnteach (talk) 00:12, 24 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Guidance on notability

Hi Kevinmik,

Wikipedia has its own guidance for notability that may not be the same as your intuitive sense of what is notable. Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia of general knowledge rather than an index of profiles of companies and people. Each article needs several independent reliable sources to show significant impact on the historical record. The guidance for organizations is given at WP:ORG and for biographies WP:BIO applies.

If the articles you are creating have reliable sources to support the criteria defined in that guidance then you may have a reason to keep the articles from being deleted which you are welcome to raise on the article talk page or on any linked deletion discussion. If you are associated with the organization, person or product the article is about then you must follow the conflict of interest guidelines and avoid editing the article yourself but you are free to suggest and discuss changes.

Rather than starting "live" articles, you can create a draft first which allows you to get your article properly sourced before risking speedy deletion - see Userspace draft and Userfication.

If you would like some independent help you can ask one of the noticeboards at WP:Requests or try chatting with other Wikipedians on #wikipedia-en-help ^connect.

Thanks, Fæ (talk) 22:43, 24 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

About sources

The article on CiedWeb was deleted on the basis of not having a case for notability. For Websites and businesses, this would often be in the form of independent sources such as newspapers or well known magazines reporting facts about that business to demonstrate significant impact. For example being the market leader, a producer of ground-breaking innovative products or services or winning well known awards might all be part of the case for notability. Information on what counts as a suitable source can be found at WP:Reliable source. Cheers Fæ (talk) 21:57, 25 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
