Speedy deletion nomination of Gigacity

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

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Gigacity requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about something invented/coined/discovered by the article's creator or someone they know personally, and 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.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. Whispering 20:34, 5 May 2014 (UTC)

This time I didn't invent the term. It appears to be notable. Look it up. Nerd in Texas (talk) 12:23, 6 May 2014 (UTC)

You tagged Agent 355 as a hoax, but this site, unless it is itself a hoax, suggests otherwise.S Philbrick(Talk) 17:07, 7 May 2014 (UTC)

Why do you think it was vandalism? Nerd in Texas (talk) 12:10, 9 May 2014 (UTC)

Please be careful

Hi,

I noticed that you are new to Wikipedia and have been participating in AfDs and tagging articles for deletion of failing GNG. Your tags for the most part have been improper and have been reverted. Please take some time to review notability guidelines this can helpful for any new editor. I recommend for the next weeks to contact an experienced editor before tagging. Please be advised.

What's this?

Just out of curiosity, why are you creating a sandbox containing a mock article about a place that doesn't exist. Sandboxes are supposed to be for developing material that will be useful in the encyclopedia, not for hosting gags. Deor (talk) 13:05, 16 May 2014 (UTC)
