Speedy deletion nomination of Z-SAT: Zombie Survival Aptitude Test


A tag has been placed on Z-SAT: Zombie Survival Aptitude Test 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 a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.) 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. 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.  My 76 Strat  20:07, 9 January 2011 (UTC)

self published books
are almost never conceivably notable, and therefore articles about theme are treated as promotional, unless there are excellent references providing substantial coverage from recognized 3rd party independent published reliable sources. If you do have such sources, let me know, and I will remove the protection that I placed on re-creation of this article    DGG ( talk ) 16:45, 10 February 2011 (UTC)

However, if you would like to experiment further, please use the sandbox instead. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you.
