Welcome!

Hello, Htkirk, 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 Netatown, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may soon be deleted.

Speedy deletion nomination of Netatown
A tag has been placed on Netatown 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 web content, 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 web content. 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.

Speedy deletion nomination of Netatown
A tag has been placed on Netatown requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, a rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content. You may wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

 * Hi Htkirk, I saw your note about the speedy deletion. I'm afraid the page was already deleted two days ago.  If you want more information, you can ask the deleting admin, .  You can also check the guidelines for including articles on companies and web content, which describe some of the reasons why it might have been deleted.  Hope this helps and let me know if you have any questions or concerns, --TeaDrinker (talk) 20:18, 3 September 2010 (UTC)


 * Regarding your note on the article talk page, Wikipedia is not a just a collection of information, we report what others have already written about. For companies, that is decided based on whether they pass our generic notability guideline or our more specialized corporate notability guidelines. Hope this helps. Happy editing. cheers. &mdash; Spaceman  Spiff  20:33, 3 September 2010 (UTC)

 * Roger that. I have now read the wikimedia policy of how value is established. When third-parties cite the entity as valuable in their eyes, I will re-post. My understanding is that an admin cannot decide if their conclusions are valid, but whether indeed those third-parties exist and therefore allows the article to be a valid one about a company/org. Thanks.
