User talk:Hoffbug

The article Flat earth brewing has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done because the article seemed to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it did 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 notability may be deleted at any time. If you can indicate why the subject is really notable, you are free to re-create the article, making sure to cite any verifiable sources.

Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and for 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. NawlinWiki 19:35, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

It should be obvious that Miller Brewing Company is notable per WP:CORP. Summit appears to be notable as well as one of the 50 largest breweries in the US. Surly did not appear to be notable per WP:CORP, and I've deleted that one as well. By the way, it would be inaccurate to think that each Wikipedia editor knows the content of all 1.6 million articles, and has compared yours to each one of those before deletion. See Inclusion is not an indicator of notability. NawlinWiki 19:56, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

You asked <> The answer is that there's no such thing as "approval for insertion." Anyone can post anything. Editors who patrol new pages catch most of the nonnotable stuff -- but not all of it. Sometimes it takes days or weeks for someone to notice an inappropriate article. NawlinWiki 20:15, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
