Welcome!
Hello, CHRISLUMB, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay.

Proposed deletion of Tuck Bushman and the Legend of Piddledown Dale


The article Tuck Bushman and the Legend of Piddledown Dale has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * non-notable film. No independent sources; no indication that it meets the notability standard of WP:Notability (films).

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

Wikipedia is not for self-promotion
I apologise that we do not make this clearer to new users, but Wikipedia is not a place like Facebook or LinkedIn for people to write about themselves and their own projects. That is strongly discouraged, for reasons explained at WP:Conflict of interest, see also the Plain and simple conflict of interest guide.

Another difference from sites like Facebook and Myspace is that, as an encyclopedia, Wikipedia is quite selective about subjects for articles. The general criterion is called Notability and is not a matter of opinion but has to be demonstrated by showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." For films, the criteria are explained at WP:Notability (films).

The links in the Welcome message above will tell you more about Wikipedia. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 23:10, 31 January 2014 (UTC)

February 2014
Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Tuck Bushman and the Legend of Piddledown Dale has been reverted. Your edit here to Tuck Bushman and the Legend of Piddledown Dale was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (http://mjsimpson-films.blogspot.co.uk/2013/01/tuck-bushman-and-legend-of-piddledown.html) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a blog, forum, free web hosting service, fansite, or similar site (see 'Links to avoid', #11), then please check the information on the external site thoroughly. Note that such sites should probably not be linked to if they contain information that is in violation of the creator's copyright (see Linking to copyrighted works), or they are not written by a recognised, reliable source. Linking to sites that you are involved with is also strongly discouraged (see conflict of interest). If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page.
