Speedy deletion nomination of Taxpayers Media Council


A tag has been placed on Taxpayers Media Council 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.

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 hang-on 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. 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. Carl Sixsmith (talk) 20:09, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

Removing Speedy at Taxpayers Media Council
Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from Taxpayers Media Council, a page you have created yourself. If you do not believe the page should be deleted, you can place a tag on the page, under the existing speedy deletion tag (please do not remove the speedy deletion tag), and make your case on the page's talk page. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you. - SDPatrolBot (talk) 20:16, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

Please refrain from introducing inappropriate pages, such as Taxpayers Media Council, to Wikipedia, as doing so is not in accordance with our policies. For more information about creating articles, you may want to read Your first article; you might also consider using the Article Wizard. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you.

''As a general rule, any "newly created group" is not a notable organization. As a general rule, any group that has received significant coverage in reliable sources is notable. I'd suggest, if you think the TMC warrants an article, finding newspaper and magazine stories that devote significant coverage (at least three or four paragraphs) to them. —C.Fred (talk) 20:34, 20 February 2011 (UTC)
