Welcome
Welcome to Wikipedia. Take a look at the welcome page. To stay in Wikipedia, an article has to be about something notable, that is, of general interest. Click on Notability for an explanation of what that means, and on Notability (web) for more detail. Also, it must give independently verifiable sources. Articles that don't meet these requirements are likely to be deleted. JohnCD (talk) 11:14, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
 * For advice about creating articles, read the Introduction and the Guide to creating your first article.
 * You should not write articles about yourself, your band, your website, your client, or your best friend - that's a conflict of interest.
 * Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not an advertising service or business listing directory. Before writing about your own organization, read FAQ/Organizations.
 * For experiments, please use the sandbox.

Rapidshare search
A tag has been placed on Rapidshare search, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising that only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add  on the top of Rapidshare search and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from independent reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. JohnCD (talk) 11:14, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
