User talk:Meech83
A tag has been placed on Dsrnr requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, 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 assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
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. Accounting4Taste 19:43, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks for your note, and I'll help you however I can. You might want to look up the policies at WP:CORP, which are what an administrator will use to decide whether or not to delete the page. Essentially, though, you need to provide impartial third-party verification that your company is notable. This would include, in a general sense, quotations from articles in magazines, newspapers, and certain types of websites (but not blogs or self-published material) that assert that the company is notable, according to the definition of notable. I hope this helps you figure out what you need to add -- if I can help further, get in touch on my talk page. Accounting4Taste 19:51, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
- First of all -- most important and fairly urgent -- go to the Dsrnr page and, following the directions there, add the ((hangon)) tag. (You have to do this -- I can't.) That will prevent the page from being deleted for a length of time that should let you add your references.
- Next -- add the citations right into the article, like you would footnotes. You might want to look at a page that has the citations in order to figure out how to do this -- you can see how the footnotes are added if you use the "Edit this page" button on the left. You might even copy and paste a correct footnote to your own page, then edit it to say what you need to say. If you get into trouble with this, again, get back to me and I'll help you. And again, the references have to be third-party, and verifiable. Adding a reference to, say, the Dsrnr web page, doesn't help at all. I'll look forward to seeing your citations.
