Speedy deletion of Telecomax edit

 

A tag has been placed on Telecomax 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 a company or corporation, 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 companies and corporations.

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 they userfy the article or have a copy emailed to you.

Links edit

  Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to Direct Inward Dialing. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Since Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by some search engines, including Google. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. --Bonadea (talk) 11:16, 22 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion of "Vehicle registration plates of Kazakhstan" edit

 

A page you created, Vehicle registration plates of Kazakhstan, has been tagged for deletion, as it meets one or more of the criteria for speedy deletion; specifically, it has no content, other than external links, categories, "see also" sections, rephrasing of the title, and/or chat-like comments.

You are welcome to contribute content which complies with our content policies and any applicable inclusion guidelines. However, please do not simply re-create the page with the same content. You may also wish to read our introduction to editing and guide to writing your first article.

Thank you. --Avant-garde a clue-hexaChord2 12:25, 23 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

Your edits to List of social networking websites edit

Thank you for your edits to List of social networking websites. Unfortunately they had to be reverted, because the websites you added to the list do not have Wikipedia articles. Please write the articles first, or post to Wikipedia:Requested articles requesting that they be created. Please make sure that the articles follow Wikipedia guidelines, especially as concerns verifiability and reliable sources. If a website is not notable according to the Wikipedia definition, it shouldn't have an article and neither should it be in the list. Thank you! --bonadea contributions talk 16:08, 12 October 2009 (UTC)Reply

Sandbox edit

Hi. I've seen what you're testing in the sandbox and wanted to let you know that trying to make an article about that subject with that or similar content and no references, the article will be quickly deleted as it violates a large number of Wikipedia policies. If you would like further information, just ask. DKqwerty (talk) 18:41, 12 October 2009 (UTC)Reply

Articles for creation rejected edit

I've rejected your recent request for the article to be created. Please read the following message on your AfC request: I'm sorry, but your article appears to read more like an advertisement than an entry in an encyclopedia. If you still feel that this subject is appropriate for Wikipedia, please rewrite your proposed article in the form of an encyclopedia entry. Encyclopedia entries should be written from a neutral point of view, and should refer to a range of published, verifiable sources, not just to materials produced by the creator of the item being discussed.

Orphaned non-free image (File:Pikaba logo.png) edit

 

Thanks for uploading File:Pikaba logo.png. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of "file" pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that any non-free images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Skier Dude (talk) 02:34, 21 October 2009 (UTC)Reply

Creating article edit

You asked for advice on creating articles.

Firstly, a question: are you connected to the subjects in some way, in business, or whatever? If not, skip this part. If so, then you have a conflict of interest, and thus it is very difficult to write a neutral, acceptable article. If this is the case, then we strongly recommend that you do not create the article. There are options available to create an appropriately sourced article in your user area, and then request that it is created. Please read this essay on best practice, and the business FAQ

Next - notability. In order to have an article on Wikipedia, the subject must meet the notability guidelines. The simplest, most important one is the general notability guideline, which says a subject needs significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. That carefully-worded phrase explains quite a lot;

Significant coverage - such as, a number of news articles about the article topic - not passing mentions

Reliable sources - well, this is defined in some detail in WP:RS, but the essence of it is - something that is generally trusted - such as the BBC, CNN, The New York Times. Books are good, too. Blog-sites are rarely reliable.

Independent - we don't use primary sources, such as the persons own website, or their publishers/labels website, or anything like that. We avoid press-releases. We want secondary coverage - other people independently writing about the subject.

There is another important point to note here though, and that is, you can work on articles in your own user space. You can easily make a page with Wikipedia:USERSPACEDRAFT. They can stay there forever; it is not in the live area. You can edit it, improve it, ask for help with it, etc. If, eventually, you are able to add suitable references (as I have described), then it could be copied back to the 'live' area.

I suggest that you consider working on some other existing articles - perhaps something of interest.

I hope that you will continue to work on WIkipedia, and I assure you that I will help in any way I can. For more help, you can either;

  • Leave a message on my own talk page; OR
  • Use a {{helpme}} - please create a new section at the end of your own talk page, put {{helpme}}, and ask your question - remember to 'sign' your name by putting ~~~~ at the end; OR
  • Talk to us live, with this or this.

Pikaba.com ‎ edit

You have already received a lot of advice about Wikipedia guidelines and have not yet responded to it. You just added a lot of content to Pikaba.com which does not meet policies at WP:V.
