Welcome!

Hello, Baxterous4364, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as The Nexus (FFRP), may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may soon be deleted.

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type helpme on this page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions.

Speedy deletion nomination of The Nexus (FFRP)


Please refrain from introducing inappropriate pages, such as The Nexus (FFRP), to Wikipedia. Doing so is not in accordance with our policies. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), 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.

Re: Your question
While that is permissible, it is unlikely that this FFRP meets Wikipedia's notability inclusion criteria. Please see WP:WEB for the criteria a website must meet to be considered notable by Wikipedia's standards. If this site does meet these standards, and you can provide sources to substantiate this, then by all means re-create it. - Vianello (Talk) 01:15, 2 November 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of The Nexus (FFRP)


A tag has been placed on The Nexus (FFRP) 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.

The Nexus (FFRP)
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of The Nexus (FFRP), and it appears to be a substantial copy of http://www.rpgconsortium.com/rpgforums/discussions.cfm?forumid=22&amp;topicid=299474.

It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.

If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material. You may use such publications as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details. (If you own the copyright to the previously published content and wish to donate it, see Donating copyrighted materials for the procedure.) CorenSearchBot (talk) 04:48, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

Status and Advice
I copy below the material from the (now deleted) talk page:

1.The website that hosts the Nexus ALSO hosts the Order of the Stick, an enormously published webcomic.

2.	The Order of the Stick was published for a period of time in Dragon Magazine. Order of the Stick collections and shirts are sold at ookodook.com There’s a page on Wikipedia for The Order of the Stick

3. The Order of the Stick has won numerous awards.

5.	It’s been published in various collections, and in Dragon magazine


 * Re: The order of the stick, etc: notability isn't inherited by existing on the same server. By major publications, we're talking about national newspapers and magazines outside a strictly specialized genre. I don't see notability.   Acroterion  (talk)  01:39, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

Please don't deleate this. This is my first article —Preceding unsigned comment added by Baxterous4364 (talk • contribs) 01:54, 7 November 2010 (UTC)


 * We understand that, that's why we're explaining what's needed to sustain notability. However, I don't see anything indicating that this subject is notable according to WP:WEB. The Order of the Stick isn't what's at issue here, it's the Nexus.  Acroterion  (talk)  02:41, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

The Nexus has had a wikia in the past, though it hasn't been updated since May. The Nexus is a very notable feature on gianitp.com, with many of the fourms 40,000 users having posted on it at one time or another. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Baxterous4364 (talk • contribs) 03:04, 7 November 2010 (UTC)


 * As reviewing administrator, I've deleted it again. Please do not add it back unless you have references providing substantial coverage from  3rd party independent published reliable sources, print or online, but not blogs or press releases, or material derived from press releases.   I' ve read the discussion above. I agree with Acroterion that the material you provide is not nearly sufficient. That it may have had a Wikia is not evidence of notability --wikia does not require notability nor need sourcing -- those are some of the key ways it's different from Wikipedia. We're an encyclopedia, but they are not.

I appreciate your good will and desire to contribute--see our page about all the useful and interesting things to do here. As for new articles, start by making ones on subjects that are unquestionably notable and with very good references so you can learn our standards.  DGG ( talk ) 04:55, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
