Gary's Icecream
A tag has been placed on Gary's Icecream, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable (see the guidelines for notability here). If you can indicate why the subject of this article is notable, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please affix the template  to the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself.

Please read the criteria for speedy deletion (specifically, article #7) and our general biography criteria. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. See also WP:SPAM. NawlinWiki 17:24, 2 November 2006 (UTC)

The spam note was because the article seemed to be advertising this store's products. The main objection, though, is that this article did not assert the notability of this ice cream shop. (It didn't even identify where the shop is located.) That is a big difference between this article and Nintendo.

If you see spamminess in other articles, feel free to edit it out. Thanks, NawlinWiki 17:38, 2 November 2006 (UTC)


 * I also recommend you read up on notability guidelines on Wikipedia. There are a few locations like this that may have become notable enough to merit their own articles, but rest assured, they were relentlessly scrutinized by deletionists and other adherants to the notability guidelines. Don't feel too bad about the article getting deleted.  It happens to the best of us; just don't take it personally.  Happy editing! - CobaltBlueTony 17:43, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
