Speedy deletion nomination of Battlecam.com


A tag has been placed on Battlecam.com 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.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, 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. Bazj (talk) 16:35, 9 January 2012 (UTC)

Status and Advice
As reviewing administrator, I decided not to delete it, because there is some indication of importance. However, a Wikipedia article needs to show notability with references providing substantial coverage from 3rd party independent published reliable sources, print or online, but not blogs or press releases, or material derived from press releases. . The references given are not usable to show notability : they are all press releases. There was a reference in an earlier version now on eNotes to an article in New York magazine for 12 October, so I added it, but I didn't add the context--try to do so briefly. If it was substantial, it might be enough--but since I can't see it in the table of contents, I suspect that it was a mere mention. I suggest you do some rewriting, omitting all references to PR sites and copies of the deleted Wikipedia versions, but include the NY magazine reference in context, giving a quotation as part of the footnote, and indicating by page number range or something how substantial it was. Alexa rank is relevant contents, but we do not consider it to show notability. Given the ownership of the site, I would expect to find rather extensive news references to it if it were notable. If you have such references, the article might hold.

Expect the article to be very soon taken to AfD, probably today, where you will need to defend it. (first add the material I suggested above) The community will then judge, and a different admin than I will decide what the consensus is.

As a general rule, a suitable page will be best written by someone without Conflict of Interest; it's not impossible to do it properly with a conflict of interest or as a paid press agent, but it's relatively more difficult: you are automatically thinking in terms of what the subject wishes to communicate to the public, but an uninvolved person will think in terms of what the public might wish to know.

If you think you can do it right according to our guidelines, do so, but expect the article to be carefully checked for objectivity. DGG ( talk ) 19:32, 9 January 2012 (UTC)
