Speedy deletion of AIDA Cruises

A tag has been placed on AIDA Cruises 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 a company or corporation, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject 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, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for companies and corporations.

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 (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, 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, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

AfD nomination of Princess Kaguya (ship)

I have nominated Princess Kaguya (ship), an article you created, for deletion. I do not feel that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Princess Kaguya (ship). Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice?  Ravenswing  03:15, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

Referencing

Hello. I have been reviewing some of your contributions to various cruise ship articles. While your contributions are generally of a good quality, there are notable problems with your usage of references. While using references is commendable, the way you have used Template:cite web in articles such as AIDA Cruises and MS Azura has been misleading and and otherwise problematic. Therefore please, when using cite web copy the template code from Template:cite web, not from other articles that use the template. Fill out as much of the template code as possible based on the information available in the website you are using as a source. Therefore for instance the name of the reference to Fincantieri's website on MS Azura should be the same as on the site itself, aka "Cruise Ships > 6166", not "M/S Azura (2010)". In addition to simply tha page name and access date you should also include other details in the cite web code so that people can easily ascertain the reliability of the reference without nescessarily visiting the website itself. Staying with the reference to Fincantieri's website and Azura, this means including Fincantieri in the "publisher" field of the cite template. Finally in the Azura article you had used the same ref name (FoF) for two references, which resulted in the second not displaying. I am also a bit mystified why you used FoF as the ref name to start with, as none of the references were to the Fakta om Fartyg website (that FoF is used as an abbreviation of); ref name should be made as clear and intuitive as possible so that any subsequent editors of a given article can easily use them. In this case the most intuitive name is obviously "Fincantieri".

As said, apart from the problems with the citation templates your work in improving articles on cruise ships has been commendable. Despite the lenghty criticism above, do not take this as a criticism of your contributions as a whole. — Kjet (talk · contribs) 14:26, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
