Speedy deletion nomination of This reminds me of Scotland
Hello Beertastic,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged This reminds me of Scotland for deletion, because it's too short to identify the subject of the article.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Nicky mathew (talk) 13:47, 13 March 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of This reminds me of Scotland


Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on This reminds me of Scotland requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia.

 * You've got it backwards, a bit. When your project meets our notability criteria (linked above), then you (or someone) will create the article. You do not need a wikipedia article to coordinate with supporters or whomever - and if you do, there are better sites for it. Best, UltraExactZZ Said~ Did 15:21, 13 March 2015 (UTC)


 * I'm a bit confused. There are about 7 people around the world that will contribute to this page with reference and content. I just sent them the link. If you delete it, then it will, well, not exist. As each contributor doesn't have enough content to make a full page, how does one set up a page for others to add to, making it complete? Once they've all added their bit, the page is done. If you delete it before they can do that, then there's nowhere for them to add content. I think I'm explaining that correctly.


 * Additional: I just looked up A1 deletion. But we had links to our blog, YT channel and G+ pages.. making us searchable. So what aprt of the criteria was not met, other than lack of content, which, as I've said, is coming soon and needs to be added to the page.. that you just deleted. Sorry if I'm being stupid.. I'm just really confused as to what I did wrong.


 * Peridon sums things up well, below. It's not just linking to and from your pages, but rather it's coverage in reliable sources. Have a look at those policies, and please ask questions before posting the article again. Thank you. UltraExactZZ Said~ Did 18:02, 13 March 2015 (UTC)


 * So what is 'coverage in reliable sources' The page was about a pair of travellers with online cataloguing of tips, reviews and travel experiences. if you need to know that the people involved are real.. I can provide birth certificates? Or do you mean that it must be referenced in a national news paper or s'thing? We're new and just trying to find our way.. I appreciate your taking time to help me understand.

Your question
First, please see WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. The existence of one (or more than one) article doesn't give reason for another to exist. There's no policy of 'A has an article, so B should too'. I can't say that I find any of the three particularly notable, but then I don't consider anything that I've heard of on YouTube as filling me with any desire to watch YouTube. Two at least are tagged as having problems. They all do make a claim of sorts to significance (which passes the speedy deletion test), and appear to be referenced to outside sources. It's not just a matter of your site being searchable. We require notability to be shown - see WP:WEB - and proved with reliable independent sources WP:RS. There are thousands of blogs and thousands of things on YouTube. Very few of them achieve any coverage that passes RS. Peridon (talk) 16:54, 13 March 2015 (UTC)
