Speedy deletion nomination of SOBERBOOK


A tag has been placed on SOBERBOOK 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 read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. Logical Fuzz (talk) 18:44, 2 September 2013 (UTC)

September 2013
Welcome to Wikipedia. Please do not remove Articles for deletion notices from articles, or remove other people's comments in Articles for deletion debates, as you did with SOBERBOOK. Otherwise, it may be difficult to create consensus. If you oppose the deletion of an article, please comment at the respective page instead. Thank you. EricSerge (talk) 20:08, 2 September 2013 (UTC)

Mistake?
I think you are confusing Wikipedia with social media. Facebook has absolutely no notability requirements, and I was unaware that they 'approved' pages (I don't have a page there and only visit to check on copyright violations). On the other hand, Wikipedia ia an encyclopaedia and it does require notability. Please read WP:WEB about web based notability, and WP:RS about the reliable independent sources needed to prove it. If you can pass the notability, with the necessary references, you stand a chance (I don't give guarantees). If not, you're wasting time. If you do try put it at User:ICARUS2517/DRAFT, and when you think it's OK, ask for advice and opinion. If you ask me, I can give an opinion and possibly find a rescuer to help you.

Jennifer Gimenez
Hi. Welcome to Wikipedia, and thanks for working to improve the site with your edit to Jennifer Gimenez, as we really appreciate your participation. However, the edit had to be reverted, because Wikipedia cannot accept unsourced material or original research. This includes material lacking cited sources, material obtained through personal knowledge, or which constitutes the an analysis or interpretation by the editor that is not found in cited sources. Wikipedia requires that the material in its articles be accompanied by reliable, verifiable (usually secondary) sources explicitly cited in the article text in the form of an inline citation, which you can learn to make here.

Also, please understand that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and should be written with care taken in adhering to basic principles of writing. This means, among other things:
 * Sentences end in punctuation, usually a period.
 * As an encyclopedia, material in Wikipedia must be written in a formal tone. Referring to a quantity as "whopping" is not formal, nor are statements like "This isn't a 12-step program, it's an anonymous, unedited, raw testament of success".
 * Generally, the biographical subjects should be referred to by their surname, and not by their given name or diminutives or nicknames like "Jenn", unless that is how they are primarily known, as indicated by WP:SURNAME.
 * Unlike in periodicals like newspapers, time and date references should be explicitly given, and not explained with dated wording, since this is not clear to readers. Saying "in September 2013" is clear. Saying "this month" or "in the next six months to a year" is not, since the reader has no way of knowing when that passage was written. See WP:DATED for more on this.
 * Material should be included in the section that is most relevant to it. Launching a website and magazine would be a career endeavor, and not a part of one's "personal life".

If you ever have any other questions about editing, or need help regarding the site's policies, just let me know by leaving a message for me in a new section at the bottom of my talk page. Thanks. :-) Nightscream (talk) 15:59, 3 September 2013 (UTC)

Promotion
It is looking to me as though you are here with one purpose only - to promote Soberbook. Please note that Wikipedia is not for promotion, no matter how good the cause - please see WP:NOBLE. Peridon (talk) 20:28, 3 September 2013 (UTC)
