Speedy deletion nomination of Oddities Giftware Ltd
A tag has been placed on Oddities Giftware Ltd 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 an organization or company, 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 organizations and companies. 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), 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.

 * Per the following comment on Talk:Oddities Giftware Ltd
 * Can you just get rid of the article in a way that will let me come back to it
 * I am going to delete the article under speedy criterion G7: deletion requested by author with no other editors contributing to page.
 * As for requesting an article, yes, see WP:Requested articles, since you don't have source for the article. —C.Fred (talk) 06:37, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

thanx i see you have indeed done that for me... how come when i type oddities giftware does it redirect to a software article- can this redirect be removed as i am not happy with my company being associated with software lol plus i would rather request an article under oddities giftware than oddities giftware ltd given the choice- thanks


 * The Oddities giftware article was created in February 2009 by, who is likely also connected with the cmpany, about the same Oddities Giftware company you wrote about. The article was redirected instead of speedy deleted. I'm not sure why it was redirected there, as it's an unlikely target. —C.Fred (talk) 07:00, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

hmm not sure about that then as i have only just open an account with Wiki- maybe the mrs-- but i dont know without checking- in any event can it be removed? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mr Oddities (talk • contribs)


 * I've already put in a request for redirect deletion. Discussion runs about seven days. —C.Fred (talk) 07:09, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

You should wait for others to write an article about subjects in which you are personally involved. This applies to articles about you, your achievements, your band, your business, your publications, your website, your relatives, and any other possible conflict of interest.

Creating an article about yourself is strongly discouraged. If you create such an article, it might be listed on articles for deletion. Deletion is not certain, but many feel strongly that you should not start articles about yourself. This is because independent creation encourages independent validation of both significance and verifiability. All edits to articles must conform to No original research, Neutral point of view, and Verifiability.

If you are not "notable" under Wikipedia guidelines, creating an article about yourself may violate the policy that Wikipedia is not a personal webspace provider and would thus qualify for speedy deletion. If your achievements, etc., are verifiable and genuinely notable, and thus suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later. (See Wikipedians with articles.) Thank you. Terrillja talk  05:39, 8 January 2010 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Oddities Giftware Ltd has been reverted. Your edit here was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline from Wikipedia. The external link you added or changed is on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. I removed the following link(s): http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=56606945947 (matching the regex rule \bfacebook\.com). If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 06:16, 8 January 2010 (UTC)
