Speedy deletion nomination of Memeburn edit
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Memeburn requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. MikeWazowski (talk) 21:48, 16 January 2012 (UTC)
I've contested the speedy deletion on a talk page that I created for the article.

On speedy deletions and content of articles edit
I feel compelled to come out and give you some words on what to do with articles, especially because you've created two articles that quickly went up for speedy deletion evaluation.
First, in spite of this, I want to encourage article creation and edits as per our policies and guidelines here on Wikipedia. But there's the rub - policies and guidelines.
Policies are pretty simple - no spam, no personal attacks, no attack pages, no vandalism, no hoaxes, and such like that. In short, don't do stupid stuff. =)
The guidelines, however, are extremely important.
The basic guidelines are simple - it has to be notable, and we have to be able to verify this through any [[WP:RS|reliable sources] as present within the article. Most important - it is best assumed that notability is neither foregone nor self-evident.
What I see is this - in the case of Memeburn, the only thing I see that could be considered reliable is the interview page. The about page is one to be rejected, and the other three are just links to the front page of other popular websites. Details for this, in the way of notability specifics, can be found at WP:WEB.
For African Legal Information Institute, this one has an issue in that it seems to contain mostly web links from the site itself. For this, not only would WP:WEB apply, but more importantly is going to be WP:CORP.
Don't get me wrong, I want to see this successful, but we also want to avoid setting a precedent that says that anybody can have a blurb on Wikipedia - and, well, to be frank, not just anybody can. =/
A good pointer, as well, for what things to come up is going to be arguments to avoid during deletion discussion. While it doesn't really apply here so much, it's a good "other perspective" as far as things to consider when creating articles - or rather, in this case, trying to get them not deleted.

On Unequal Treatment of African Content edit
The deletion of African Legal Information Institute. The article has now been deleted by Guerillero who didn't bother to engage in any dialogue with me.
Dennis state that most of the content came form the site itself. If that is the standard then it is being applied very inconsistently. The Australasian Legal Information Institute and the CanLII pages also rely almost entirely on their own websites.
Why is African content being treated differently? According to The Guardian "remarkably, there are more Wikipedia articles written about Antarctica than all but one of the 53 countries in Africa see 'Wikipedia's known unknowns' http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2009/dec/02/wikipedia-known-unknowns-geotagging-knowledge, and 'on Wikipedia, there is more written about Germany than South America and Africa combined' see In a networked world, why is the geography of knowledge still uneven? http://www.guardian.co.uk/global-development/poverty-matters/2012/jan/09/networked-world-geography-of-information-uneven. See also: http://www.oii.ox.ac.uk/vis/?id=4e3c02dd.
Concerns have been raised that the editorial culture of Wikipedia inhibits contributions about Africa, see discussion in Ford, H ‘The Missing Wikipedians’ in Geert Lovink and Nathaniel Tkacz (eds), Critical Point of View: A Wikpedia Reader, Amsterdam: Institute of Network Cultures, 2011.

Angrynative, if User:Guerillero deleted your articles, then warn him by messaging him on his talk page. Or you may use one of our templates, which will be seen at Wikipedia:Vandalism and post it on his talk page. Thank you!

Thank you. I have messaged Guerillo on his talk page.
Oh, Angrynative, you shall use a higher level of warning for User:Guerillero. Like what I've told you below, you may report him to Wikipedia:Administrator intervention against vandalism. Thank you again!
