A question
Hi there - just a quick question. Are you the same user as Gajahgallery? GBT/C 10:48, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

No: I am not.

Well, that's a coincidence - about an hour or so ago they were creating pages on Gajah Gallery, a gallery in Singapore. And now you're creating pages about the same subject and mentioning the same gallery. Anyway, can I suggest you have a read of this page about notability, and this guideline about notability of companies. For a company (such as Trutok, below) to be included in Wikipedia it has to satisfy certain criteria. I'm not sure that Trutok does. GBT/C 10:58, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

That certainly is a coincidence. I have gotten Trutok ranked by HubSpot. Alexa is an online service that measures traffic for millions of sites on the Internet in a similar way to Nielsen television show ratings. Trutok has an Alexa rank of 4,441,450 which is in the top 14.94 % of all websites. Why would this not be notable? Again, all of this is in the context of the art scene in Singapore and Asia. One needs to start somewhere....Agree?


 * That, in itself, does not make it notable. There are specific guidelines on notability for websites which can be found here. Does the site you're talking about satisfy any of those? GBT/C 11:06, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

Here is my view: The criteria should include reliable published works in all forms, such as newspaper and magazine articles, books, television documentaries, websites, and published reports by consumer watchdog organizations.

Go to and you make an assessment if the content there is reliable or not. Remember in a small country which has little about it on Wiki 10,000 hits a month is a big deal. It is a start. A reliable, clean cut portal that gets that sort of interest cannot be considered trivial. I am no expert in all this so I will defer it to your judgment.

The content is distributed via a medium which is both respected and independent of the creators, either through an online newspaper or magazine, an online publisher, or an online broadcaster;

The gallery is listed in Sagg and other places. www.sagg.com.sg. Again, I am a novice at all this. If Wiki thinks this is not worthy of mention at this stage we can delete the listing. I found the following to be of a similar profile: BigArtSpace: UGallery Jen Bekman Raw Art ; Artnet ; GFX ;

Notability of Trutok
A tag has been placed on Trutok requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject 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 this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, 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, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. GBT/C 10:53, 17 May 2008 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Singapore art
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Singapore art, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Somno (talk) 05:00, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
