I'm speechless

You shouldn't be... There are notability rules here - Wikipedia may be free, but it ain't anything goes. Being real and accurate isn't the be all and end all of it. Not all groups of people are notable (including one or two groups I've played in...). Supply good references (WP:RS), and you stand a chance. Especially if you read WP:GNG as well....

So basically what you just said is it is up to you to decide if something is notable and if you don't like it it gets the kibosh. I'm all for getting rid of spammers and vandals but when a page that hasn't even been completed yet gets deleted less than an hour after it was created I feel insulted. I am now discouraged from editing anything else on Wikipedia because I know it will be gone within an hour. Don't get me wrong I see your end of the story trying to keep Wikipedia relevant but do you actually have a list of what is and isn't notable? Does your decision go through many different opinions before a page actually gets deleted or is it your gut reasoning alone?-Andrew
 * Please sign with ~ . Can I suggest creating articles on a subpage in your userspace before launching them into mainspace? And may I point out out that if you saw the amount of utter crap that gets posted here, you would be less surprised if we seem trigger happy? If you read the policies, you will get a better idea of what we work to. Apart from that, the people that tag the articles they think should be deleted are ordinary editors. The actual deleters are the admins. We look at what is tagged and based on our experience here (in my case 16,000 odd edits - some more odd than others...) we decide. Sometimes we disagree. Sometimes we think it should go but not for the reason tagged - in which case most of us retag the article and let someone else decide. The categories for speedy deletion are fairly narrow - you can tag a company as non-notable but not a product, for example. How do we get to be admins? Through a process known as Requests for Adminship. Otherwise known as running the gantlet, or the hell week. If an article is regarded as being borderline, it can be proposed for deletion, which lasts a week, or taken to Articles for Deletion, which is an open discussion finally closed by an admin who hasn't taken part in it. Articles can be undeleted - nothing on Wikipedia is ever totally deleted (or very rarely, anyway). Things just get buried at various depths depending on context. I do seriously advise that if you do re-create the article you should do it in userspace and ask advice before launching it. Peridon (talk) 21:17, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
