Speedy deletion nomination of Zapjunk


A tag has been placed on Zapjunk, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be unambiguous 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 Zapjunk 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. Half Shadow  04:20, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Zapjunk


A tag has been placed on Zapjunk requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. blue 520  07:12, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

Your article on Zapjunk
Hi Drw1970 - Thank you for creating an article here at Wikipedia. Unfortunately, your article on Zapjunk has been deleted as it does not meet some of our policies, for example: our policy on thenotability of companies. Specifically, the article did not say why Zapjunk was important or significant, and I could not find any coverage of the company in newspapers or other general media. Although Wikipedia has a large number of articles on companies and organisations, it is an encyclopedia, and as such only companies which are notable should be included. If you are part of the company, there are other venues which specialise in wiki-type articles about companies (see WP:ALT for a list). I have added some links below which might be useful to you. Please let me know if there's anything I can help you with. -- Kateshortforbob talk  10:54, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
