Speedy deletion nomination of Villagegazette.co.uk


A tag has been placed on Villagegazette.co.uk 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 credibly 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 read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, 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 from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Your article
Hi. I'm sorry to have deleted your article, and would like to explain why. Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia, not a directory (or social media), and there is an insistence on the notability of subjects covered. In this case, the page to look at is at WP:WEB, and for any subject WP:RS is essential. RS is about reliable independent sources which must be provided to establish notability. The subject's own site cannot prove notability. In case you think that this limits things to the big and the rich, there is an article on Wikipedia about a bus shelter on a Scottish island. There is one about a narrow passageway in a town (can't remember where) that has achieved notability. There isn't one about a big American company whose products are on the tables of millions of people every day. They make own brand stuff for chain stores, and do it well. But no-one outside the little group of chain store buyers, raw material suppliers, employees and the Infernal Revenue has heard of them. It's down to coverage. A site covering two villages, and only set up last month, isn't really likely to have suitable sources yet. Peridon (talk) 12:55, 6 December 2015 (UTC)
