Speedy deletion nomination of N'everland (Web-Series)


A tag has been placed on N'everland (Web-Series), requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
 * It is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. (See section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Wikipedia has standards for the minimum necessary information to be included in short articles; you can see these at Wikipedia:Stub. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.
 * It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or 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. (See section A7 of 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 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, you can place a request here. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 18:41, 20 March 2014 (UTC)

Notability
You say "it is about an existing series that is available". I'm afraid that more than that is needed to get an article on Wikipedia. This is an encyclopaedia, and we require that notability is shown for the subjects of articles. In this case, the requirements are probably those at WP:WEB, but WP:GNG applies over all. In any case, the notability must be proved with reliable independent sources WP:RS. I would advise you to read WP:COI as well, as I feel you have a close connection to the project.

I have sources from YouTube only though and a few magazines..

Is there a way i can get back the info i had before it got deleted
 * Please sign talk page posts with ~ which puts your sig and the date stamp on. YouTube is not considered a reliable independent source, sorry. I can put the article into your user space if you think you can improve it - preferably if you show me some refs first... Honestly, I can't see any chance of it passing if the series only started a few days ago. There are thousands of things on YouTube, and very few of them make it here - Smosh being the only one I can remember). BTW IMDb isn't an RS either, and nor are blogs, forums, college/uni newspapers/mags, wikis (including this one), Facebook etc, The Sun (either of them), The National Enquirer, own sites and anything at weebly, blogspot or wordpress. Mere mentions ("Also present were Mrs Hacienda Biggs, Mr Downwright Iddyott, Miss D. Meanour...") don't count anywhere. OK? Post any queries here or my place. Good luck with the production, anyway. Go for an entry at IMDb. (Everyone else seems to. Doesn't count for anything here, but may influence some people outside. It's free, too...) Peridon (talk) 15:16, 22 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Now showing at User:Shazbaz12/N'everland (Web-Series) draft. I'd advise delinking all the redlinks as they don't go anywhere and make it LOOK newbie stuff (and delink the bluelinked Red as the link isn't relevant - and everyone knows what red is anyway - as it's the colour not the character). Only wikilink things once in an article - usually the first time a word occurs. And always make sure (by previewing and clicking) that the link goes where you think it does or ought to. Often, they don't. The article ought to be safe there for a bit, but try and get the references in. If you can't get them, there's no point in doing anything. For the future, always start an article in user space (unless you are like Dr Blofeld who has created thousands and can probably do it in his sleep...). User space stuff is only liable to speedy deletion for spam, attack, copyright violation or libel. Also, but not speedily, for trying to use us as a free webhost (fantasy leagues, poetry, college work etc). Don't relaunch without asking advice first, and if you need help you can try MelanieN who is good at rescuing where there's a chance. Peridon (talk) 16:58, 22 March 2014 (UTC)

Hi, Shazbaz12! I took at look at your draft and did some searching for sources. I'm afraid your series does not qualify for a Wikipedia article, at least not yet. Here's why: Wikipedia is not just another website; it is an international encyclopedia. As such, it has standards for what kind of subjects can have articles here. The subjects have to be "notable", which basically means famous. And there is a very specific definition of what makes a subject "notable" enough for an article: It has to have received significant coverage from independent reliable sources. In the case of N'Everland, I could not find ANY coverage at all from independent sources - and that's not surprising, such it just had its premier episode a few days ago! "Independent" sources means sources which are not controlled or supplied by the subject or by interested parties of the subject. That rules out Facebook, YouTube, private blogs, IMDb, press releases and so on. The subject has to have been noticed, such as reviewed, by reliable third party sources such as newspapers, books, etc. Now, it's possible that the series will catch on and become popular enough to get reviewed by independent reliable sources. But until it does, it doesn't belong in an encyclopedia. There are lots of places on the internet where you can promote the series, as you already know (I did see your promotional YouTube teaser). But Wikipedia is not one of those places; it can only have an article here AFTER it becomes notably famous. If you try to publish this article at Wikipedia again, it will almost certainly be speedy-deleted again. Sorry! but good luck with the series! --MelanieN (talk) 20:55, 24 March 2014 (UTC)
