Speedy deletion nomination of Encyc[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 Encyc 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 read more about what is generally accepted as notable.
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. —Largo Plazo (talk) 00:55, 27 June 2014 (UTC)
June 2014[edit]
Hello, I'm Mlpearc. I wanted to let you know that I undid one or more of your recent contributions to List of wikis because it appeared to be promotional. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.

- Thanks for the note. It's no big deal. If you don't like my edits, revert them. That's the good thing about wikis, how easy they are to change. Duck of Luke (talk) 17:01, 2 July 2014 (UTC)
Proposed deletion of Encyc[edit]
The article Encyc has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- Non-notable internet encyclopedia; fails WP:WEB. Seems to have been mentioned in a footnote of a book once, but otherwise can't find any reliable sources that discuss this website. Almost all of the statements on the article are unverified/unverifiable. Seems to be written by someone closely affiliated with the site.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. gobonobo + c 19:58, 12 July 2015 (UTC)
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Encyc is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Encyc until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 13:04, 14 November 2015 (UTC)
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Encyc, and it appears to include material copied directly from http://www.conservapedia.com/Encyc.
