Speedy deletion

Thank you for helping to build Wikipedia-- the world's largest free content encyclopedia.

I'm sorry, but this has been deleted as meeting WP:CSD. Generally, articles are speedily deleted when there is no assertion of significance or they fall into things to avoid. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia-- subjects must meet notability guidelines with reliable sources providing verifiable information. Any deficiencies should be remedied before reposting.

For basic information on beginning to write an article see User:Dloh/new.

Sourcing is incredibly important for an encyclopedia. Be sure to list your sources at the bottom of the article.

For more general information about the deletion process, please see User:Dlohcierekim/deletion

If you believe the subject does in fact meet notability guidelines with reliable sources providing verifiable information, please contact me on my talk page.

reply carried over over continuity

Hi Dlohcierekim,

Greetings,

I just notice that you give "speedy delete" for Kanvaso.com. I am a newbie here and this is actually the first time I create an article. I was wondering about the reason. It says that the reason is : A7: No explanation of the subject's significance (real person, animal, organization, or web content)), although I don't understand that part clearly. Because i thought that in the article I already mention that it was about a website that can improves the usability of Twitter, and give more advantages to the users of Twitter.

Can you please help me about this, give me guidance so that I can understand it and contribute a better article in the future?

Thank you in advance, Cheers! :) ChelseaJN (talk) 18:43, 20 August 2010 (UTC)

Sorry, Chelsea, for the tardy response. Could not edit from work last night. IT has editing blocked. Not awake yet. Basically, good job describing product benefits. Bad part is in leans toward reading like an advert. More info is needed on what the impact is-- how is it notable in the Wikipedia sense. What do reliable, 3rd party sources, independent of the subject, with a reputation for fact checking say about the subject. You compare the product to Twitter. Twitter is unquestionably notable-- household name. Media, reviewers and critics speak incessantly about it. What do they say about Kanvaso. Who says it? The question of a particular subject's notability arose last month because the sourcing was all from obituaries. There was a number of thorough bio-obits from media with national reach, so notability was clear. It was pretty clear in the discussion that a full bio obit from the New York Times is the essence of notability. An obit in the St. Petersburg Times is not. How thorough is the coverage? A few sentences in a blogs is not sufficient. A number of articles dedicated to the subject that go into all of its finer qualities is better. Remember, all info in the article needs to be sourced from verifiable info from reliable, 3rd party sources. Become familiar with the notability and sourcing guidelines. They are the keys to success. I see it's already restored to your userspace. Hope this helps. Dlohcierekim 13:50, 21 August 2010 (UTC)
