Notability of Floxtar
A tag has been placed on Floxtar requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, 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. 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 page (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. Bonadea (talk) 15:47, 26 March 2008 (UTC)


 * In the note above, please re-read the second sentence:
 * "This has been done because the article appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, 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."
 * If you click the red Floxtar link above, you'll see the deletion log for the article, including the reason for deleting it, and the person who did so. --Bonadea (talk) 07:09, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi Floranf. The reason the Floxtar article was tagged for deletion (and subsequently deleted by an admin) had nothing to do with any band or person having registered the name. As the note above says, the reason was that the article did not indicate why the web site is notable. Please read read the guide to writing your first article which is really very helpful and covers a lot of different issues, including the conflict of issue one. Thank you. --Bonadea (talk) 13:01, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
