A tag has been placed on Dendura, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising that 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 general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.
If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add {{hangon}} on the top of Dendura and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from independent reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. -- Shadowlynk (Talk) 07:32, 20 August 2008 (UTC)
I have restored the article as per your request. You must act fast and assert notability, before another editor questions and tags for deletion. Good luck. -- Alexf42 01:18, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
Thanks again Alex, I really appreciate it. When time permits could you take a look at it. Since I of course don't have permission to remove any tags. Cobra Blade (talk) 04:48, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
- Honest, but not a mistake. However, I've restored to allow more work As Dendura continues to grow in popularity, fans eagerly await the release of their debut album is pure spam, if that stays, it will still struggle jimfbleak (talk) 07:52, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
Thank you for you're understanding, I have rewritten the offending paragraph, and hope you will be able to take a look at it soon. I would also really appreciate the removal of any tags that you may feel no longer apply, like hopefully speedy deletion (fingers crossed). Cobra Blade (talk) 08:07, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
- I've removed some of the tags (although it still needs copyediting). The notability seems largely to rely on association with notable people/companies rather than own merit, but I'm a Brit, so I don't know how significant being big in Grand Rapids is. The article shouldn't be speedied for notability, since it does have independent references. Ask Alex to take another look jimfbleak (talk) 09:56, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
I will get back to Alex on that, and thanks for helping me out. Cobra Blade (talk) 11:48, 2 September 2008 (UTC)
The article Cutie Suzuki has been proposed for deletion because, under Wikipedia policy, all newly created biographies of living persons must have at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article. The nominator also raised the following concern:
- All biographies of living people created after March 18, 2010, must have references.
If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. De728631 (talk) 13:46, 8 October 2011 (UTC)
