Speedy deletion of Oneword.com

A tag has been placed on Oneword.com 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, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for web content.

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 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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

April 2009

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from Oneword.com, a page you have created yourself. If you do not believe the page should be deleted, you can place a {{hangon}} tag on the page, under the existing speedy deletion tag (please do not remove the speedy deletion tag), and make your case on the page's talk page. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you. Ironholds (talk) 00:57, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

Please refrain from making unconstructive edits to Wikipedia, as you did with this edit to the page Oneword. Such edits constitute vandalism and are reverted. Please do not continue to make unconstructive edits to pages; use the sandbox for testing. Thank you. J.delanoy^gabs_adds 01:16, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

Some things to think about

There are a few policies that one should consider when it comes to writing about something that you are associated with. In particular, it would appear that you are affiliated with http://www.oneword.com. Wikipedia editors should be familiar with maintaining a neutral point of view and conflicts of interest, which can be difficult to overcome when you have a vested interest. Wikipedia also has notability guidelines. A single mention 5 years ago on Yahoo!'s picks of the day does not establish notability. Notability requirements include reliable third-party sources, in particular web notability and overall verifiability. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of random information, more details can be found at Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not. I hope this helps you understand the "why's" a little better! Best regards. --Chasingsol^(talk) 01:40, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Non-free content, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use, and add a rationale justifying the image's use on the article or articles where it is included.

Proposed deletion of Guru Singh

The article Guru Singh has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Doesn't pass WP:BIO. The name throws up a lot of search hits because of a Gurudwara, and lots of Sikh Gurus have both Guru and Singh in their name. However, one source is a Yoga magazine listing, one source is a weekend calendar entry stating that the author is visiting for a yoga class and the third says he was one of the attendees of a funeral (Albuquerque Journal). Nothing else in terms of RS out there about this particular individual.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. —SpacemanSpiff 19:57, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
