Speedy deletion nomination of THE LIFE OF THE TWENTY SOMETHING MUM


A tag has been placed on THE LIFE OF THE TWENTY SOMETHING MUM requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject of the article is important or significant: that is, why an article about it should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you can assert the importance of the subject,. Clicking that button 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 article's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. You may freely add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

See the guidelines for specific types of articles: biographies, websites, bands, or companies. Bagheera (talk) 20:17, 11 October 2011 (UTC)


 * As noted above, the article would need to meet the standards described in WP:WEB. The Gurgle award isn't enough. while that website is slightly noteworthy, its awards are not.    Will Beback    talk    21:20, 11 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Have you actually read the guideline I linked to above? Wikipedia has nothing against bloggers. It has simple rules which are enforced across the board.   Will Beback    talk    07:53, 12 October 2011 (UTC)


 * I understand that you're personally involved with this topic. It's really best if folks who are directly involved avoid creating or editing where they have a conflict of interest.
 * As for the article, it needs to assert notability, and support it with verifiable citations. It should say something like, "X is the leading blog on motherhood issues in the UK.[1] It has received the Y Award, and been featured in Z and A magazines.[2]" A good way to succeed is to read other articles on blogs, and model the article on those. See Category:Blogs.
 * More generally, you may perceive Wikipedia as being snobby, but it is deluged with people trying to promote their projects. We probably delete more than a dozen new articles on "up and coming" bands everyday, along with a hundred other articles on non-notable businesses, people, and other topics.
 * Regardless of whether there's a Wikipedia article on your blog, I personally wish you the best of luck with it.   Will Beback    talk    10:29, 12 October 2011 (UTC)
