User talk:Randver1
A tag has been placed on Gogoyoko, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}}
to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the 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 would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Dengero (talk) 10:47, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
Gokoyoko
[edit]Hi, and firstly welcome to wikipedia! I'm sorry that your first article was deleted but I hope you don't give up! First of all, if you want to put anything on wikipedia, they must be notable. Does your artist have an Icelandic page (I don't know if there is an Icelandic-language wikipedia)? Does it have any articles, books, or other related media exposure? If you have remember to add relevant bits in and reference them. Hopefully this will get you started! Happy Editing and feel free to ask anymore questions =) Dengero (talk) 12:37, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks for your message to me too. Dengero puts it very well. The page read as an advert to me (& another admin I see). Bear in mind this is an encyclopaedia and then your contributions should be welcome.
- There is an Icelandic wiki so that may well be somewhere to look to contribute too & to seek advice on appropriate content. Thanks --Herby talk thyme 12:44, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
How to procede
[edit]I suggest making a subpage to your account and write a draft of your article there first. After that get someone to read it, then if it's acceptable, post it officially. Dengero (talk) 02:14, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
Review of Gokoyoko
[edit]Hi Randver, I had a brief scan of your article, and it looks good, but you are still not meeting the WP:NN criteria. Do you have other sources than the official website about the company that can be used? (ie, newspaper, magazines etc etc) Dengero (talk) 13:56, 19 November 2008 (UTC)
- You can try putting it up on wikipedia. It may pass the Notability criteria, if not just. Dengero (talk) 00:50, 20 November 2008 (UTC)
- I have notified the user that protected the page here, and did some copy editing on your article. Dengero (talk) 00:39, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
Secret's Comment
[edit]He has looked at your article, and cited the same problem as I did as there is no external sources. I guess that article can't be published until such a problem is solved. Sorry mate =/ Dengero (talk) 23:00, 24 November 2008 (UTC)
- I am fine with your article. It's just that you need to convince Secret to unfreeze the page. Best of luck. Dengero (talk) 02:25, 4 December 2008 (UTC)
