Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you.--Logical Fuzz (talk) 18:48, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Popdose


A tag has been placed on Popdose 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. NtheP (talk) 19:00, 13 February 2010 (UTC)

Popdose.com
Regarding your messages on my talk page. I am not the one who nominated your article for deletion, I was the one who removed your spam links from various articles. The editor who nominated the article Popdose had every right to do so, under a variety of reasons. For starters, I would suggest you read up on Wikipedia guidelines regarding notability: WP:N, advertising/spam: WP:SPAM and conflict of interest: WP:COI before continuing your article. Your user name makes it clear there is a conflict of interest with the article Popdose as you are a contributor to the website. --Logical Fuzz (talk) 19:31, 13 February 2010 (UTC)
 * I have deleted the page. The problem is notability. All entries should meet the notability requirements. Making a Wikipedia article before the web site has become notable is putting the cart before the horse. It should be the other way around. Let me know if you have further questions.
