Hello, Shekhar juneja, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Free Open Source Magazine, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may soon be deleted.

Speedy deletion nomination of Free Open Source Magazine


A tag has been placed on Free Open Source Magazine 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.

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. &mdash; KuyaBriBri Talk 14:40, 19 November 2010 (UTC)

Status and Advice
As reviewing administrator, I deleted the article, both for not indicating any encyclopedic importance, and for being wholly promotional. You had written on the talk p.:

This article is for importance, 1. This article is based on community website not a normal website which is promoting one company/product. 2. Its about a site which is working on bridging the knowledge gap for people who are struggling to keep up with open source knowledge. 3. Its for readers/new graduates who are looking to gain knowledge and start their first step towards the open source career. 4. Its pulling open source community to build a stronger open source knowledge.

But: You need references providing substantial coverage from  3rd party independent published reliable sources, print or online, but not blogs or press releases, or material derived from press releases tyo show importance. When you have them, then try an article. But not till then.  DGG ( talk ) 20:39, 19 November 2010 (UTC)
 * 1) the requirement for importance and the need to avoid promotionalism applies to commercial and no commercial things alike
 * 2) the intrinsic possible merits of the enterprise are irrelevant--it has be important, not just deserve to be importance
 * 3) ditto.
