ProChrist
A tag has been placed on ProChrist, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because it is an article about a certain web site, blog, forum, or other community of web users that does not assert the importance or significance of that web location. Please read our criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 7 under Articles, as well as notability guidelines for websites. Please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources which verify their content.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material, please affix the template  to the page, and put a note on Talk:ProChrist. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. --stephenw32768&lt;talk&gt; 22:34, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Re: your message to me
Hi there.

Point of information, first: my name is Stephen, not Ryan :-)

To answer your question: asserting the existence of your community is not what Wikipedia is about. Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia like any other: a compilation of articles about notable people, places, groups and things. At the moment, your community isn't notable enough to warrant an article. Think of it like this: if there were a written, published reference work about Christian communities, would yours merit an article in it? If you cannot honestly answer "yes", you have your answer regarding whether or not you merit a Wikipedia article at the moment.

Things can change, of course! In a few months, it is quite possible that your community will have grown and become better known on the web; in which case, do submit another article.

You can also write about your community on your Wikipedia user page. User pages aren't subject to the same guidelines as the rest of Wikipedia; you can use your user page to write about yourself and your community.

I hope that I have answered your question to your satisfaction. Feel free to ask further questions if you wish to. Have fun reading and contributing to Wikipedia.

Speedy deletion nomination of CrossLeft


A tag has been placed on CrossLeft 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 of the article is important or significant: 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 you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding  at the top of the article, immediately below the speedy deletion  tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate), and providing your reasons for contesting on the article's talk page, 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. You may freely add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

You may want to read the guidelines for specific types of articles: biographies, websites, bands, or companies. Baffle gab1978 (talk) 17:51, 17 September 2010 (UTC)
