Welcome!

Hello, Louise Cairns, 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 Rate or Hate Your Landlord, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may soon be deleted.

Speedy deletion nomination of Rate or Hate Your Landlord
A tag has been placed on Rate or Hate Your Landlord 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, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for web content. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

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 hangon 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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

This is the first on line rental review site for the UK.

I have never posted on wiki so some advice would be greatly appreciated where i am going wrong with this article.

How do I add images of the site?

Best regards

 * Hi Louise!!!! It is unlikely that any article this website will be accepted on Wikipedia unless it meets the criteria outlined in the notability requirements for websites. IMO, the most important of these guidelines is that any articles about websites must demonstrate that the website has been written about or received significant coverage in a notable publications such as a "newspaper and magazine articles, books, television documentaries, websites, and published reports by consumer watchdog organizations."  If you provide a links to where the website was mentioned by notable publications, this will go a long way toward ensuring your article is not deleted.


 * If you are able to demonstrate notability, we can then deal with question of whether uploading screenshots of the website would be useful or appropriate.


 * If you cannot show that the website meets these notability requirements, the article will be deleted again. Please keep in mind that the purpose of Wikipedia is not to promote websites or any other type of products.  Please let us know if you have additional questions. --Bad edits r dumb (talk) 18:07, 27 September 2010 (UTC)
 * BTW, there are other wikis where promoting websites is allowed and they don't have strict notability requirements like Wikipedia does.--Bad edits r dumb (talk) 18:23, 27 September 2010 (UTC)
