Notability of DrawingNow
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on DrawingNow, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because DrawingNow is an article about a certain website, blog, forum, or other web content that does not assert the importance or significance of that web location. Please read our criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 7 under Articles, as well as notability guidelines for websites. Please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources which verify their content. To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting DrawingNow, please affix the template to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that '''this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Deletion of DrawingNow
Hi, Bartman, and welcome to Wikipedia. It seems you are off to a bit of a rocky start. On the talkpage of the deleted article you indicated that you don't understand why pages like google, yahoo, or, indeed, wikipedia itself have an article on wikipedia, while DrawingNow was (speedily) deleted. This lies with our criteria for inclusion. Wikipedia is an online encyclopedia. Therefore, we only include articles that have merit as encyclopedic articles. The other websites you have mentioned, all have notability (see our guideline WP:N) that is demonstrated by independent reliable sources on the subjects. DrawingNow seems to be lacking those sources, which makes it impossible to write a verified (see policy WP:V), encyclopedic article on the subject. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask me, and I'll do my best to explain. Martijn Hoekstra (talk) 00:30, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
