Speedy deletion nomination of Bigfoot Exploration


A tag has been placed on Bigfoot Exploration 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 an organization or company, but it does not credibly 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. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

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. Lourdes 18:26, 28 January 2017 (UTC)

Your article
You said, "I'm filming a documentary and would like to get on the web do not understand why you can have TV show's listed but not a group.". I don't think you understand that Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia, and not social media or a TV guide. We have articles on TV shows because they have been screened AND have been shown to be notable. Your film is not yet complete, and there was no indication of notability. Please see WP:GNG about general notability, and WP:RS about the reliable independent sources needed to prove the notability. This sort of hassle you don't get at Facebook, which is social media. If you want to get a web presence, get on IMDb, Facebook, Myspace and whatever else is in at the moment. None of those would help you get on here, as they are not reliable independent sources, but they may help you get in front of the public. If and when your film is a success, it will probably have an article here. But not until it is notable (by our standard in the policies...). Good luck - but if you do really find Bigfoot, make sure the film is clear and obviously not faked up as so many have been. It's not worth producing something blurred and distant (and looking like a gorilla suit too). Otherwise, try to be neutral - you'll show to the converted and the unbelievers that way.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Because we have a policy against usernames which give the impression that the account represents a group, organization or website, I have blocked this account; please take a moment to create a new account with a username that represents only yourself as an individual and which complies with our username policy or request a change of username. You should also read our conflict of interest guideline and be aware that promotional editing is not acceptable regardless of the username you choose. If your username does not represent a group, organization or website, you may appeal this username block by adding the text at the bottom of your talk page. You may simply create a new account, but you may prefer to change your username to one that complies with our username policy, so that your past contributions are associated with your new username. If you would prefer to change your username, you may appeal this username block by adding the text at the bottom of your talk page. Thank you. Peridon (talk) 22:12, 28 January 2017 (UTC)
