Speedy deletion

I am amused that you can tag an article stub for deletion when it is just 1 minute old. Do you not think you need to be a tad more discerning and realistic?--Huaiwei (talk) 14:36, 16 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Let's see, an article with a red-linked label, and all google hits are youtube or facebook. Whatever. I'm able to post a new article with a couple references showing importance on the first draft, can't you do the same? — Timneu22 · talk 14:40, 16 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
A red linked label means it is non-notable, when it is the label owned by Ken Lim, one of the main judges in Singapore Idol, and where SI winners automatically win contracts with them? No that certainly cannot be a valid way to judge notability, especially when articles are related to smaller countries where the editing community is much smaller.--Huaiwei (talk) 14:57, 16 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
You have added enough to prove the article is valid, but I still contend that I saw all google hits are youtube or facebook, which was my main reason for speedy. Also, you did not answer my question. — Timneu22 · talk 14:58, 16 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Well then you obviously need to search more carefully, because your default search obviously do not include Singaporean sources.
Each of the above represents some of Singapore's biggest media outlets (The Straits Times, The New Paper, MediaCorp Channel NewsAsia, Today, etc, all easily found in the first 20 search results.
Finally, in all my years of contributions in this website, I have never come across any policy, guideline, or anyone else demanding that it is a necessity to create an encyclopaedic article within the first edit. I would be most grateful if you may point out the necessary policy for my reference.--Huaiwei (talk) 15:07, 16 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, but no such policy exists. I stand by my reasons for speedy (I did a google search), and I see that I was wrong. Satisfied? However, if you've been editing "all [these] years", you should know that references are the primary validation for articles; I know this, and I took the time to put them in the first draft. Sorry you can't. — Timneu22 · talk 15:10, 16 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
