Speedy deletion nomination of Wizard101 Central


A tag has been placed on Wizard101 Central 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 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 "Click here to 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, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. —Largo Plazo (talk) 12:53, 7 July 2014 (UTC)


 * Thank you Largo for your feedback relative to my first contribution to Wikipedia. Unfortunately, I was at work all day and was unable to defend my addition to the Wikipedia prior to it being speedily deleted. In re-reviewing the article guidelines along with the rationale you provided above on the reason for deletion, I must say I'm a little surprised at the direct application of A7 given the content posted for the following reasons:
 * A7 appears to only levy a "significance" threshold as opposed to the full notability standard.
 * In keeping with significance, I posted the referenced web-site's statistics and usage which are in direct keeping with Wikipedia's list of "significant" Internet forums as listed in List of Internet forums. The referenced wiki statistics show that the website hosts the 63rd largest wiki in the world when evaluated based on image count.
 * I posted a fact-based article where I tried to cite as much of the information as I could. I didn't realize that I needed to write an article within an article to additionally justify significance.
 * I know relativity arguments are weak but I'm intellectually curious how Doomworld is deemed significant and yet the Wizard101 Central article was not?
 * Can you please explain to me what I should have done to prove significance other than upload a fully finished, self-apparent notable article? RedValkyre99 (talk) 02:01, 8 July 2014 (UTC)RedValkyre99
