The article Present, The (2009 film) has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done because the article seemed to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, but it did not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the notability of the subject may be deleted at any time. If you can indicate why the subject is really notable, you are free to re-create the article, making sure to cite any verifiable sources.

Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and for specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for musicians, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. NawlinWiki (talk) 04:39, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on The Present (2009 film) 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 or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia.

Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the 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 would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Chris (talk) 06:33, 8 August 2008 (UTC)


 * The article supplied no reliable independent sources to verify any of its content -- just the director's own website, which isn't independent. See WP:V.  Also, because this film isn't even in production yet, there's a WP:CRYSTAL problem.  Right now, it just looks like those involved with making the film are trying to use Wikipedia to publicize it, which isn't allowed (WP:SPAM).  NawlinWiki (talk) 00:06, 9 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Sorry, the argument you made would completely wipe out WP:V and allow anyone to just cite the subject's own website as the basis for an article.  If you want to pursue this further, go to Deletion review. NawlinWiki (talk) 00:50, 9 August 2008 (UTC)
