Speedy deletion nomination of Relax my dog


Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice that Relax my dog, a page that you created, has been tagged for deletion. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
 * It is unambiguous vandalism or an obvious hoax. (See section G3 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please do not add inappropriate pages to Wikipedia; doing so is not in accordance with our policies. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox.
 * It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, 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. (See section A7 of 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 the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can 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 a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.  →TSU tp* 15:39, 19 June 2012 (UTC)

In response to your post at Talk:Relax my dog...
Hey, Mjhill, I saw your post on the talk page of the article you created, and I just wanted to reply to you here, in case the page gets deleted. The thing is that your page is up for deletion because it makes no assertions of notability or even importance. Notability is the standard for inclusion of new articles into Wikipedia; at its most basic, it is expressed in the general notability gudieline, which says that the subject of a Wikipedia article must have significant coverage in multiple reliable sources that are independent of the subject (so, the subject's website wouldn't count). There's also more explicit information about notability for companies here.

The reason that we have this guideline is that, at Wikipedia, we require all our information to be verifiable through references to supporting reliable sources. Our information is *only* as good as the sources that back it up; verifiability is the only way we can even hope to claim some kind of credibility in our articles. Subjects that are non-notable just don't have the coverage for us to be able to write verifiably about them, and if we can't write anything about them, we can't really have an article.

It's no big deal, though; lots of people have their first article deleted, and nobody will hold it against you! It's just that Wikipedia is not the place for "spreading the word" about something. If you have any questions, I'd be happy to answer them at my talk page, or you can ask the Teahouse, which is a place for new users to get friendly answers to their questions about Wikipedia. Thanks!
