Speedy deletion nomination of Xinyi Meditation
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/1/15/Ambox_warning_pn.svg/48px-Ambox_warning_pn.svg.png)

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Xinyi Meditation, 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, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, 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. 22:06, 14 December 2011 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on David chan requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject of the article is important or significant: that is, why an article about it 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 you can assert the importance of the subject, . Clicking that button will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the article's talk page directly to give your reasons, 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. You may freely add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.
See the guidelines for specific types of articles: biographies, websites, bands, or companies. Blanchardb -Me•MyEars•MyMouth- timed 23:32, 14 December 2011 (UTC)
Notability
[edit]Rummyness, thanks for your note. Have you read the guideline on notability? WP:NOTABILITY. There's also a special version tailored for people, WP:BIO. Notability generally depends on coverage in independent sources. If you can find sufficient sources to show notability then there won't be a problem. I have moved the article to User talk:Rummyness/David Chan. I'll take another look in a few weeks and delete it again if we haven't been able to find sources for notability. I'd suggest merging Xinyi Meditation into it - as it's doubtful it'll be notable by itself. Will Beback talk 04:30, 15 December 2011 (UTC)
- You're welcome. I suggest you first spend your effort on finding sources. Once those have established notability the rest is comparatively easy. Will Beback talk 11:14, 15 December 2011 (UTC)
- It's beginning to look abandoned. Let's see how it looks on January 15 - if it still doesn't meet the standards I'll delete it again. Will Beback talk 08:16, 3 January 2012 (UTC)
