User talk:Gapstudentsonline/archives

A tag has been placed on Gap Students Online, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, 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 Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you feel that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion. To do this, add  on the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag) and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. 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. -`FisherQueen (Talk) 11:46, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Recreated article
You have recently recreated or reposted material which previously was deleted in accordance with Wikipedia's deletion policies. Please do not recreate this article without prior approval from an administrator or you may be blocked from editing. We ask that you respect what Wikipedia is not.

I have edited the Gap Students Online page to comply
I believe I have sufficiently edited the page to comply with Wikipedia's rules.--Gapstudentsonline 13:04, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
 * No, there is still no evidence that this web page meets Wikipedia's standard of notability. -FisherQueen (Talk) 13:05, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

It isn't our custom to blank our talk pages; instead, we archive our old discussions. Being new here, you probably didn't know that, so I've fixed the blanking for you. -FisherQueen (Talk) 13:07, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

ok then - what do i need to do then?
Could you give me some header ideas as to why this does not comply?
 * Have you read WP:WEB yet? In what ways does this web site meet that standard? -FisherQueen (Talk) 13:08, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Third recreation of deleted material
Please stop. If you continue to ignore our policies by introducing inappropriate pages to Wikipedia, you will be blocked. -FisherQueen (Talk)

I'm only trying to update the page so it meets your strict criteria
surely to do that I need to update the page!
 * No. If you can gather evidence that this web site meets WP:WEB, then you can take it to Deletion Review and ask that it be undeleted.  But I sincerely doubt this web site meets the standard, and you haven't offered any reason that it meets the standard- in fact, you haven't even shown any evidence of having read the guideline.  So stop recreating the article, and gather your sources to show some way that the article meets WP:WEB, then take your evidence to Deletion Review.

This is your last warning. The next time you create an inappropriate page, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. -FisherQueen (Talk) 13:47, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Why your article keeps getting deleted
1. You don't assert that the group is notable -- in other words, that it is the subject of attention from reliable independent sources (such as news media). See WP:ATTRIBUTION.

2. Given your username, it's pretty clear that you're writing about your own group. You shouldn't do that. See Conflict of interest.

3. The article is written in a promotional tone ("you can get a free e-mail address!", etc.). Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a billboard. See WP:SPAM.

Given all of these, I (and the other administrators who have deleted the article) can't see how you could post an acceptable article on this group. NawlinWiki 13:48, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
