Notability of Nouveau nous
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/f/f7/Nuvola_apps_important.svg/48px-Nuvola_apps_important.svg.png)
A tag has been placed on Nouveau nous requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, 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. 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 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 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. Dlohcierekim 16:03, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
Signature
[edit]Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --Orange Mike | Talk 17:20, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
Don't be afraid!
[edit]Just so you know, answers to your question are posted right underneath it (here: Wikipedia:Help_desk#Why_was_my_article_deleted.3F). I fear that a lot of new people post questions and then never find their way back to the replies. Hopefully this whole deletion experience wont put you off Wikipedia.
You'll pick up the bits of code along the way. The two most used are probably:
a) [[square brackets]] which enable use to make links --> square brackets to other articles; and
b) ==equals signs== which enable us to make subheadings like the one you see above this message ("Don't be afraid!")
Wikipedia is a very daunting place for a newbie. It was complicated when I started a couple of years ago and grows ever more so as time continues. I hope you find your niche and do feel free to ask any more questions that come to mind. ----Seans Potato Business 17:47, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
