Welcome!

Some cookies to welcome you!

Welcome to Wikipedia, Andy ameed! I am Calaka and have been editing Wikipedia for quite some time. I just wanted to say hi and welcome you to Wikipedia! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page or by typing {{helpme}} at the bottom of this page. I love to help new users, so don't be afraid to leave a message! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful:

• Introduction
• The five pillars of Wikipedia
• How to edit a page
• Help pages
• How to write a great article
• Manual of Style

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Oh yeah, I almost forgot, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there. Again, welcome!

Maldive Digest

You may wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles. See the Article Wizard.

Thank you.

The article Maldive Digest has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done because the article, which appeared to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, did not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the notability of the subject may be deleted at any time. If you can indicate why the subject is really notable, you are free to re-create the article, making sure to cite any verifiable sources.

Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and for specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for musicians, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 06:49, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

Re your message: The reason why the article was deleted was because, as I noted previously, you did not establish why the website is notable enough for inclusion on Wikipedia per the appropriate guidelines listed at WP:WEB and WP:CORP. You may recreate the article if you have provide the necessary citations to establish the site's notability. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 06:12, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

Re your message: The references you provided do not establish the website/company's notability only it's existence. Existing does not infer notability. An Alexa rank does not infer notability either. What you need to provide is links to articles about the company, not just links to pages that link to the website. I did not understand your last comment about paying for posting, but you might want to read the business' FAQ. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 18:09, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

Re your message: The burden of establishing notability is upon you, not me. It is not my task to research your notability. The existence of other articles on Wikipedia does not establish your website's notability either. There was no vandalism on the article when it was deleted by User:Neens_80 or any other article. Since it appears that you either work for the website or own it, it is strongly recommended that you not edit or create the article as you have a conflict of interest. As I noted to you before, please see our Business' FAQ on what you should and shouldn't do on Wikipedia related to your website. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 18:47, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

Re your message: The issue of spamming links to the website is entirely separate from why your article was deleted. While the spamming did lead me to seeing and thus deleting the article, the spamming was not the reason for the article deletion. The article was deleted because of a lack of notability, not because of spamming. Your internal company issues are not relevant to the deletion of the article or the spamming of website links. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 18:51, 12 November 2009 (UTC)

Hello. 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.
