User talk:Extramarket

Welcome
Welcome to Wikipedia. Take a look at the welcome page. To stay in Wikipedia, an article has to be about something notable, that is, of general interest. Click on Notability for an explanation of what that means, and on Notability (web) and Notability (organizations and companies) for more detail. Also, it must give be verifiable from reliable sources that are independent of the subject. Articles that don't meet these requirements are likely to be deleted.

 * For advice about creating articles, read the Introduction and the Guide to creating your first article.
 * You should not write articles about yourself, your band, your group, your client, your website or your best friend - that's a conflict of interest.
 * Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not an advertising service or business directory. Please read FAQ/Organizations before you write about your own product or organization.
 * For experiments, please use the sandbox.

Speedy deletion nomination of Extramarket


A tag has been placed on Extramarket 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. JohnCD (talk) 10:41, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

Reply to your note
You can put (two curly brackets each side) at the top of the article, and give your reasons on the article talk page: an administrator will read them before deciding what to do. But:
 * Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a notice-board or business listing directory. I see no evidence that your web-site is notable enough for an article, which would require "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject"
 * In writing about your own site, you have a Conflict of Interest - read that guideline, and also the FAQ/Organizations, in particular the sections headed:
 * Why doesn't Wikipedia have an article on my organization?
 * I think my organization deserves an article on Wikipedia but none exists. What can I do?
