Speedy deletion nomination of Homebrew Improv


A tag has been placed on Homebrew Improv 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 a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.) or web content, 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 the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent 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. Bagheera (talk) 18:15, 15 June 2012 (UTC)

The Article
I assume you were the IP that protested on the talk page. I think one problem is that you have not understood Wikipedia. Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia, and requires things to be 'notable' before they can have articles. People hear the 'Wikipedia is free to edit' line, and don't look into the workings. Free to edit, yes. Doesn't cost you a penny - unless you're on dial-up... Not free to add just anything. For the general principles of Wikipedia notability, have a look at WP:GNG and for details of what are considered reliable independent sources, look at WP:RS. If you think you can meet the requirements, contact me or almost any other admin or regular editor (look at their talk page - if it's full of warning notices, find another one quickly...). They'll give you an opinion as to whether they think it's worth going ahead. Try two, even. If they agree, it's not because they're mates. We have a policy at WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS - because A has an article doesn't mean that B should too. Sometimes we just haven't caught up with A yet. With very nearly four million articles, one or two (of fifteen) may slip through the net. If you ask us nicely to explain things, we'll (mostly) be friendly and helpful. Some disappointed article writers start shouting and telling us the rules. Doesn't usually get them anywhere. Peridon (talk) 20:43, 15 June 2012 (UTC)
