Speedy deletion
Hmm, I noticed that you blanked the criteria for speedy deletion yesterday. You can't delete established policies from wikipedia; generally doing so (as you have seen) has no effect. However, it's highly frowned upon, and might change the way people view your other actions in a very unfavourable manner. Plus, if you keep doing it, you'll eventually be blocked.

I was actually one of the people who favoured speedy deletion for the VIBE FM article. The reason for this is that, while I don't think it was strictly promotional material myself, it did a wide array of things that shouldn't be done here. Specifically, it's contents were really just a broadcast schedule and information on events targetted at those attending them, many unrelated stations go by the same name elsewhere, and the station itself isn't particularly notable (see WP:NOTE). Things like that radio station usually do get entries in lists, though; there is probably a list of radio stations in the area you could add it to.

When you are writing a wikipedia article, try to be very careful with your tone, because if it sounds like you are promoting something, people will get pretty fired up about it. We have a long-standing policy of writing from a neutral point of view; see WP:NPOV for more on that.

Thank you for your contributions and I hope for more! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a note on my talk page. --Falcon Darkstar Kirtaran (talk) 09:41, 5 August 2008 (UTC)
