User talk:Hitherescotty

Welcome!

Hello, Hitherescotty, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Schooner Exact Brewing Company, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may soon be deleted.

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type helpme on this page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian!

Speedy deletion nomination of Schooner Exact Brewing Company
A tag has been placed on Schooner Exact Brewing Company requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for organizations and companies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 01:53, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

Schooner EXACT Brewing Company
You made a comment at Talk:Schooner EXACT Brewing Company, and a couple of other people responded to your comment. Just in case you didn't see their responses before the page was deleted I thought I would help by copying the conversation to this page. JamesBWatson (talk) 09:57, 22 September 2010 (UTC)


 * Is a historical brewery in Seattle, WA. Still working on the page, please wait a while until review for deletion. Plenty of refs for why it's a valid article. Also need to fill in all beer types. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hitherescotty (talk • contribs) 02:12, 21 September 2010


 * "Valid article" is one thing. "Notable company" is another. This appears to be a local business that does not meet these standards. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 02:33, 21 September 2010 (UTC)


 * Let me add a word of friendly advice: Without a working knowledge of Wikipedia policy it can be very frustrating to try to write an article that won't be deleted. I've tried several times to write a better introduction to editing than can be found at the Article Wizard and Your First Article and I can't. Don't be tempted to skip past sections of either one, they're full of solid gold information. Also, if you've not done so already, you need to read the Notability, Verifiability, No original research, What Wikipedia is not, and Conflict of interest policies from beginning to end. Good luck with your editing,  T RANSPORTER M AN  ( TALK ) 14:02, 21 September 2010 (UTC)
