Speedy deletion nomination of TotalBiscuit


A tag has been placed on TotalBiscuit 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 or group of people, 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 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. 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. Writ Keeper &#9863;&#9812; 19:04, 26 June 2012 (UTC)

About your article
Hey, Mystrangy, I saw your comment on the talk page of TotalBiscuit, and I wanted to reply here just in case the article gets deleted before we have a chance to talk about it. The thing is that Wikipedia has criteria that subjects must meet for an article to be written about them: this is called notability. You can get more specific information about notability for people here, but in a nutshell, notability requires that a subject have significant coverage in multiple reliable sources that are independent of the subject.

The reason for this criteria is that, on Wikipedia, we need all our information to be verifiable through references and citations to reliable sources. Wikipedia's articles can only be as good as the sources that back them up; such is the only way we can even hope to maintain some validity. Subjects that aren't notable just don't have enough reliable sources for us to be able to write anything verifiable about them, and when we can't write anything about them, we just can't have an article.

Now, I wouldn't worry about it too much if your page does get deleted; it happens all the time! Nobody will hold it against you. It can be pretty tough to get the hang of Wikipedia, but it's pretty fun when you have! If you have any questions, feel free to ask me on my talk page, or you can ask questions at the Teahouse, which is a place designed for new editors to get help in a relazed, friendly atmosphere.
