Speedy deletion nomination of Cassone: The International Online Magazine of Art and Art Books


A tag has been placed on Cassone: The International Online Magazine of Art and Art Books 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," which appears inside of the speedy deletion tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). 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 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. Nat Gertler (talk) 22:25, 1 June 2011 (UTC)

Why I requested deletion
Wikipedia's policies and guideline require a website (and most other items that might get an article) not only to exist to have an article, but to be notable - of particular import or significance for some reason. After all, there are millions of websites out there. Articles that don't even make a claim of notability are subject to the Speedy Deletion policy. The article you put up made no such claim... and that should come as no surprise, as it's a brand-new web feature. If the website is to have a page in the future that will stay up, it will need to have some proof of notability - which is shown by having references to significant third party sources talking about the website. As time passes, the website is more likely to be eligible for an article, as it's more likely that such sources will have talked about it. You can look over a fuller discussion of what's expected of an article about a website here.

Let me also note that if you happen to be associated with this website (and I don't know if you are, but it's common to find articles about new things to have been written by people associated with them), Wikipedia's policy on conflicts of interest strongly discourages you from starting such an article.

But I'm glad that you want to contribute to Wikipedia. There are many good articles yet to be written, and many articles that I'm sure could use the addition of you knowledge and efforts! --Nat Gertler (talk) 13:42, 2 June 2011 (UTC)
