24/7 Film Festival
Hello. Thanks for adding the above link to the disambig page. However, a disambig page is a page that is to point TO an article. So how about you writing an article about the film festival? Doesn't have to be long, as long as you get the main points across, and provide some references (such as links or newspaper articles). Cheers, and ask me on my talk if you'd like any help.

A tag has been placed on 24/7 film festival, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add  on the top of the page 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 help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. AllynJ 11:49, 10 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Sigh. Your article got deleted. I cannot, now that it is gone, see if you really made major mistakes in producing your new article (cheers for having done that), but you seem to also have gotten a relatively harsh admin to quickly delete the lacking article (but please don't consider him/her too harshly either - there IS much advertisement or simply lacking stuff coming onto Wikipedia, and someone has to take care of it).


 * So that you don't feel to bad about it, I have rewritten the article in a format which is 95% likely to stand (99% if it hadn't been deleted before, which makes some people a bit more sceptical, but I think we can assume that it won't get deleted again). Have a look at what is there now, and how it differs from what you wrote (as I said, I don't know what you put in, it was already gone). I hope this little setback doesn't put you off Wikipedia, and that you can learn how to write an article that will withstand review by an admin. Cheers Ingolfson 06:09, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
