Welcome!

Hello, Carltorstensson, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Fjordfiesta, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may soon be deleted.

Speedy deletion nomination of Fjordfiesta


A tag has been placed on Fjordfiesta 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 an organization or company, 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.

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. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 10:27, 4 November 2010 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia. However, please do not add promotional material to articles or other Wikipedia pages, as you did to Fjordfiesta ‎. Advertising and using Wikipedia as a "soapbox" are against Wikipedia policy and not permitted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.

For future references, how did the article differ from say the article about kartell or fritz hansen? The subjective handling of articles makes me a bit sad. I had a few more entries in mind, but now I feel it's a waste of time. maybe if there was an explanation more relevant than "spam"... (Carltorstensson (talk) 13:37, 4 November 2010 (UTC))
 * Wikipedia is a collection of people, and as such, decisions will be made in a subject manner, but the decisions are based on fairly well established guidelines. The particular guideline in question with your article was notability, especially as it applies to companies.  The Fritz Hansen article includes references that indicate that this company is notable; i.e. it has received significant attention from independent sources. Your article made no such claims, nor could any significant coverage be found, which is why it was deleted.  Admittedly, the Kartell article is problematic, as it also makes no indication of why that company is notable.  However, that is a separate issue; the presence of other bad articles is not a reason to keep this bad article.

I hope you don't decide that Wikipedia is just a waste of time. Rather, take some time to read through the guidelines pointed out above, and if you can add to the project (with properly sourced information), please do so. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 14:10, 4 November 2010 (UTC)
