Speedy deletion of Smack Noir
A tag has been placed on Smack Noir, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

blatant advertising for student projects

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as an appropriate article, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is appropriate, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add  on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Sticky Parkin 21:42, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

It's gone. The reason is that the film hasn't been mentioned in any mainstream press etc, so any attempt to place it on a site as high-profile as wikipedia is arguably promotional. The people involved may have gone on to hollywood etc, but none of them have been mentioned in the press or books much yet- that isn't a bad thing as few people have at that age, but it means that student projects of theirs aren't included in an encyclopedia which relies on things having been mentioned in WP:RS. Hope this helps. Sticky Parkin 00:56, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh you also said "The benefits of the page do not serve as advertising to the movie but as reference to those who seek to produce their own film." Wikipedia is not a 'how to' guide. For that you would need WikiHow, which I can recommend anyway as it's excellent. Sticky Parkin 01:02, 4 August 2008 (UTC)


 * What I'd suggest is making the page in your own personal userspace somewhere like User:RunnerX13/Smack Noir then once you've made it to a standard you are happy with, approach a friendly admin and ask their advice, or if you'd like me to give you my advice about it you're of course welcome to ask.  The main thing is you need to write about something that meets WP:RS- i.e. something that's been mentioned several times and at length in organs of the mainstream press, and include references supporting it.

P.S. Does your username mean you are a runner? I run sometimes.:) Sticky <b style="color:#FF8C00;">Parkin</b> 01:57, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I took the liberty of following up your comment on User talk:Sceptre. I think there was a mistake and the page was deleted just as you were editing, so it looked like you made a page that just included the hang on tag, and onlookers wouldn't immediately know the history. What distances do you run? I did a 10k and am training for a half-marathon- but it'll be a few months yet lol. :) <b style="color:#FF8C00;">Sticky</b> <b style="color:#FF8C00;">Parkin</b> 02:20, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

Please do not add content without citing reliable sources. Before making potentially controversial edits, it is recommended that you discuss them first on the article's talk page. If you are familiar with Citing sources please take this opportunity to add references to the article. -- The Red Pen of Doom


 * A reference to a specific episode would be a primary source that could be used to verify that yes, Such-and-Such a character on Such-and-Such a show said "Im going to call you St. Jude cause you are a lost cause". But, in most instances, in this case particularly - So someone said that - so what? Wikipedia is not like the term papers you wrote in school where you took the primary sources and created an argument / supported a theory. At Wikipedia, that is original research/interpretation/analysis which must be done by a third party/non-primary source/non-wikipedia editor. For there to be an answer to the "So what?" you should find a reliable third party that has said "Such-and-Such a character on Such-and-Such a show said 'I'm going to call you St. Jude cause you are a lost cause' - AND HERE IS WHAT IT MEANS OR WHY IT IS IMPORTANT/ INTERESTING". The material in the article should be sourced to someone who has written about and interpreted the reference to St. Jude; otherwise even with a citation to a primary source, it is merely trivia and not an encyclopedia article. -- The Red Pen of Doom  02:37, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
