Speedy deletion nomination of Derailed Radio


A tag has been placed on Derailed Radio 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 see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for web content. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

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.

 * It was deleted because you provided no evidence of notability. See Notability (web). Also, since you created the logo, I assume you have a close connection with the station. I suggest that you wait until someone with no COI decides to write about the station. &mdash; RHaworth 21:57, 24 October 2010 (UTC)

Response to notability & COI
I actually did not create the logo. I asked permission to use it, and received permission.

Once I received the initial flag for deletion, I re-read the section on Notability, specifically the Articles not satisfying the notability guidelines section. I saw this, and asked in my discussion reply for assistance on what exactly was missing, because I don't want to have the same mistake on other articles I post. I thought originally that there was enough information about the contributions to charity, and the fact that Derailed Radio is one of the stations that I've noticed tries to help out a lot of new artists, and introduce listeners to music they may not be familiar with. The article section I linked to suggests that this information can be requested, and that deletion should be a last resort.

I've re-read repeatedly that information, and I'm still not sure what EXACTLY the requirements are that I'm not meeting with this contribution. This 1. Does not allow something that possibly is eligible to be contributed, and 2. Does not help me with future contributions to Wikipedia.

I would like to again formally request that someone please take 5 minutes of their time to advise me on what would have made this article meet guidelines.

Thank you

[ADDITIONAL NOTE: I looked at the image, and I see where it says I am the creator of the image. I did not see that after I had uploaded it. When I was uploading it, I thought I selected something saying I was authorized to do so, not that I created it.]

 * For the image, please arrange for Derailed Radio to send an e-mail to the Commons address given here explicitly licencing the logo under cc-by-sa-3.0.
 * Regarding notability, did you actually read Notability (web)? Did you see the words "has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the site". How many references, preferably to websites, did you provide to such works? &mdash; RHaworth 21:14, 26 October 2010 (UTC)
