Speedy deletion of The Cult of Herodotus

edit
 

A tag has been placed on The Cult of Herodotus 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 about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.) or 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

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. — This, that, and the other 10:30, 12 April 2009 (UTC)Reply

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page The Cult of Herodotus has been reverted.

Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove unwanted links and spam from Wikipedia. The external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. The external links I reverted were matching the following regex rule(s): [a-z][0-9]+\.photobucket\.com/albums/.*\.(?:jpg|jpeg|gif|png|svg) (links: http://i362.photobucket.com/albums/oo62/jameseliottaylor/photo5.jpg). If the external link you inserted or changed was to a media file (e.g. an image file) on an external server, then note that linking to such files may be subject to Wikipedia's copyright policy and therefore probably should not be linked to. Please consider using our upload facility to upload a suitable media file.

If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 10:33, 12 April 2009 (UTC)Reply

You'll need to find some reliable sources first, before that article can stay in Wikipedia. Please let me know if you have any questions. henriktalk 10:52, 12 April 2009 (UTC)Reply

Please read Wikipedia:Wikipedia is not for things made up one day. henriktalk 11:06, 12 April 2009 (UTC)Reply
It is at its core very simple: Basically someone else needs to write about it first before there can be a Wikipedia article: a scholarly journal, a newspaper, a magazine or some other reliable source. Wikipedia only publishes things that other people have written about, we're terribly unoriginal. :)
Perhaps paranormal.wikia.com could be a better site? henriktalk 15:05, 12 April 2009 (UTC)Reply
