Speedy deletion nomination of Transolar Galactica
edit
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 Transolar Galactica 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 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 the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but 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 yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Daemonic Kangaroo (talk) 05:17, 25 May 2012 (UTC)
- Answering your question on my talk page: yes, it's a good idea to start an article in a sandbox or user sub-page, that way there is less risk of it being deleted prematurely and you can take your time over developing it. A good way is to go to Help:Userspace draft and fill in the name of your intended article: that will set up a draft page for you, with a link to useful advice, and a "Submit" button to send it to WP:Articles for creation if you would ike someone to check it before making it live.
- I can restore what you wrote into a userspace draft if you like, but first I would like you to consider whether it can really meet Wikipedia's WP:Notability requirement, which is not a matter of opinion but has to be demonstrated by showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." Significant means more than just listing-type mentions; reliable excludes Myspace, Facebook, blogs, places where anyone can post anything; independent excludes the subject's own website, affiliated ones and anything based on press releases. The test is, have people independent of the subject thought it significant enough to write substantial comment about? See also WP:42 and WP:Notability (web).
- I say this because I have seen people waste an awful lot of time writing elaborate articles which in the end were deleted because the subjects simply were not, or not yet, notable. This happens so often that an essay on the subject has been written: Wikipedia:No amount of editing can overcome a lack of notability.
- If, having read that, you would like me to restore what you wrote into a draft page, leave a message below here and I will do it. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 11:09, 30 May 2012 (UTC)
