Welcome!

Hello, Irvirv, 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 BizziBiz, 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 BizziBiz


A tag has been placed on BizziBiz 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.

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 hang-on 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. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. -- Boing! said Zebedee (talk) 17:12, 21 January 2011 (UTC)


 * Re your message: The article was not deleted because the company is "new", the article being promotional, nor is the company being "blackballed". The article was deleted because you did not establish why it is notable enough for inclusion on Wikipedia.  You may recreate the article if you can provide the necessary citations from reliable sources establishing its notability.  Please also see the Business' FAQ for answers to common questions about company articles. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 05:09, 24 January 2011 (UTC)


 * The issue is not that your franchise does not exist as I have no doubt that it does. The issue is all about notability.  As I stated earlier, all articles about companies need to meet the notability guidelines.  If you look at List of franchises, you will see that all of the listings have a link to an article about the company, therefore all of the articles should meet the notability guidelines.  Some "List of..." articles will have a note to only include notable individuals, companies, locations, etc., but not all do.  You should not re-add your franchise to List of franchises until you have an article about it that is acceptable because another editor is likely to remove the entry without an article.


 * As for your question about the Franchising article, you are welcome to make changes to it though you will want to keep in mind Wikipedia's "Five Pillars" and your potential conflict of interest when editing related articles. If you are proposing a major rewrite of the article, you might want to discuss the issue on the article's talk page at Talk:Franchising before you do so. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 16:34, 24 January 2011 (UTC)
