Speedy deletion nomination of Quik C


A tag has been placed on Quik C 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 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. jsfouche &#9789;&#9790; Talk 08:42, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

December 2010
You should wait for others to write an article about subjects in which you are personally involved, instead of writing it yourself, as you did at Quick C. 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. jsfouche &#9789;&#9790; Talk 08:51, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Quik C


The article Quik C has been proposed for deletion because under Wikipedia policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners or ask at Help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the prod blp tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can when you are ready to add one. jsfouche &#9789;&#9790; Talk 08:52, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Quik C


A tag has been placed on Quik C requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject of the article is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding  at the top of the article, immediately below the speedy deletion  tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate), and providing your reasons for contesting on the article's talk page, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. You may freely add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

You may want to read the guidelines for specific types of articles: biographies, websites, bands, or companies.  role player 21:05, 7 December 2010 (UTC)

Why Was My Article Deleted?
That's the question you are probably asking yourself right now. Well, there are a couple reasons your article could have been deleted.


 * 1) It may not have met the General notability guideline.  This is the guideline that all articles must meet before they can be included on Wikipedia.
 * 2) It may not have been notable.  If a subject isn't notable, it isn't included.  Your little brother's garage rock band with 5 fans isn't notable, but Metallica...that's notable.
 * 3) It may not have been verifiable.  If an article doesn't have several third-party reliable sources, it can be deleted as original research.
 * 4) It may have been advertising.  Any page about a company of any sort must meet strict guidelines so it isn't considered advertisting.  A page about the local quickie-mart is probably advertising and also probably not notable.


 * We welcome articles written as part of school assigments. Note that if your article is part of a school project, it must still meet our requirements. It might be useful for your project to be registered at the School and university projects WikiProject, and you can look there for some help specifically with your school-related project.

To create an article, first, please read WP:FIRST. This page is about creating your first article. Then get all the information you can on the subject. Create the article first in userspace (on a subpage of your userpage) so it won't get deleted before you are finished. Add all the information, references, reliable sources and more to the page. Make sure it meets the General notability guideline. If you aren't sure, ask an admin, they will be glad to help. Then move it to where you want it in mainspace (on the Wikipedia). From there, keep it updated with pertinent updated information, so the article doesn't become stale. When in doubt with anything, ask the Help desk or an admin. Hope this helps...

Sandbox
The last version's in User:Quikc/sandbox for you to work on. You'll need coverage in major newspapers: LA Times, New York Times, that sort of thing. Major national airplay charts, not download charts. That sort of thing.  Acroterion  (talk)  22:12, 7 December 2010 (UTC)
 * By the way, none of the other sources you listed (and then removed) from the references section meet reliable source requirements. No self-published material is a reliable source under most circumstances - it must be third-party publications with a reputation for fact-checking.  Acroterion  (talk)  22:17, 7 December 2010 (UTC)
