CSD nomination of Rick the Stick

A tag has been placed on Rick the Stick requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, 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. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (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 confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.  Blanchardb -^{Me•MyEars•MyMouth}- timed 15:01, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

• Hi, TC. Unfortunately, given the sheer number of webcomics and such, the notability has to be extremely high with a lot of verifiable third-party references. Otherwise, we'd be overrun with articles of this type. Since this is a tertiary source of information, that is, a reference work on subjects with pre-established, general notability, articles on minor and relatively unknown subjects such as this would be a waste of server space and would be of little value to researchers. If the comic does meet the criteria set forth at WP:WEB, then yes, it can have an article. I sincerely hope this helps. PMDrive1061 (talk) 22:10, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

• Hi. To answer your question about what makes a webcomic notable, it is pretty simple: basically, you have to show, through reliable sources (click here to see what I mean by that), that enough people unrelated to the creator are paying attention. Now the difference between individual episodes of TV series and webcomics is that they have a parent article (that on the series itself) and each series has a limited number of episodes. For less notable series, however, my personal position is that the description of each individual episode should be part of the parent article, or part of an article on one particular season of the series. Of course, this can't be done with a webcomic, as there is only one parent article and literally thousands of webcomics around. You say webcomics are a huge trend, a fact that should be mentioned in the parent article, Webcomic, if that isn't done already. But at the same time, if that trend is as huge as you say, this means that only the more successful ones can be mentioned in separate Wikipedia articles, most likely the ones that are now published outside the Web, such as Dilbert or Pearls Before Swine. Otherwise, as stated above, we'd be overrun by articles on comics that don't have much of a following, and many of these articles would be written on a tone that intends to promote these comics, something that is diametrically opposed to the purpose of Wikipedia. -- Blanchardb -^{Me•MyEars•MyMouth}- timed 22:39, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Flushtered

A tag has been placed on Flushtered, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which 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 guidelines on spam as well as Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

Welcome/You might want to try working in user space

• Welcome!

Hello, Tcmcelmurry, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• Tutorial
• How to edit a page and How to develop articles
• How to create your first article (using the Article Wizard if you wish)
• Manual of Style

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on discussion pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place {{helpme}} before the question. Again, welcome!

I would suggest that you try working on new articles as user subpages until they are ready to "go live." You can do this by creating a page with this format: "User:Tcmcelmurry/Flushtered." This will give you an opportunity to work on the article while minimizing the chances that it will be deleted, although it still could be if it sits for too long without improvement. I would also suggest that before you attempt another article you make yourself familiar with Wikipedia policies on verification and reliable sources. A beginners guide to proper referencing is here. Thanks. Beeblebrox (talk) 18:56, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
