Speedy deletion nomination of Curvism


A tag has been placed on Curvism requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about something invented/coined/discovered by the article's creator or someone they know personally, and 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.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, 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 from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Notability
As reviewing administrator, I have declined this speedy-deletion nomination, because there is no indication that this term was invented by you or someone you know; but it is still not suitable in its present state, so I have proposed it for deletion by a more deliberate route - formal notice below.

Wikipedia has an inclusion criterion called Notability which is not a matter of opinion but has to be demonstrated by references showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." Significant means more than just listing-type mentions; reliable excludes Youtube, Facebook, blogs, places where anyone can post anything; independent excludes the subject's own website, affiliated ones and anything based on press releases. The test is, have people not connected with the subject thought it significant enough to write substantial comment about? See also Notability (summary).

This term seems to be associated primarily with the name Steve Firkins. Unless it has also been taken up and discussed independently of him, it will not be suitable for an article. Other relevant policies are No original research which includes: "If no reliable third-party sources can be found on a topic, Wikipedia should not have an article about it. If you discover something new, Wikipedia is not the place to announce such a discovery" and WP:NEO.

You will see from the PROD notice below that you are permitted to remove the Proposed Deletion template. If you do, unless the article has been provided with references to show notability in Wikipedia's sense, it is likely to be nominated at WP:Articles for deletion, which would start a discussion lasting, normally, seven days, to which you would be welcome to contribute.

Proposed deletion of Curvism


The article Curvism has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * no references, no indication that this new style has achieved Notability.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on |the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
