Speedy deletion nomination of Flightpathtv


A tag has been placed on Flightpathtv 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 a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.) or 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.

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. —Tom Morris (talk) 16:19, 25 January 2011 (UTC)

Help with article
````kiwimrsmac````

not sure where I have gone wrong with this article. Is the format incorrect or the content. Can someone please advise? Thanks


 * Vector toolbar with signature button.png you leave messages, please remember to "sign" your name, by putting ~ (four tilde signs) at the end. This will add your name, and the date and time. You can also do this by clicking the 'sign' button, pictured to the right.


 * I assume you are asking about the article FlightPathTV ?


 * The main problem I see with that is, it has links to other websites within the body text. That is not permitted; the links can only appear either as a) footnoted references, or b) in a special section at the end for == External links == - but, in the latter case, only subject to certain conditions; see WP:EL.


 * So. the links to http://www.malcolmclement.com/malcolmclement.com/Home.html http://www.fletchermckenzie.com/Fletcher%20McKenzie/Fletcher%20McKenzie.html etc. should be removed.


 * Other links - which are reliable sources - should be used as references, instead. For example, regarding the "Aviation Entrepreneur of the Year" it should be like this;

 Lynn Tilton was awarded the Aviation Entrepreneur of the Year award in January 2011.

You might also want to use a citation template, which I will explain below.  Chzz  ► 09:59, 30 January 2011 (UTC)

Tips on referencing
There are lots of ways to do this, some are simple, some more complex.

Personally, I like using citation templates, and fill in as much as I possibly can; maybe a bit more work, but I think it looks better. You have a. An example usage is;

For all the possible things to include, see Template:Citation

Of course, you don't have to put everything in, just whatever you can. The above example is a book, but I've included a 'convenience link' to a website that displays it.

Then, at the end of the document (but before any 'category' tags), you need a references section. You just put,
