Regarding the new Garena article
Hi Slug,

you might get some sources here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Mski.benj/Sandbox so that the Garena article won't be deleted again due to self-advertising :))

Please do not remove Articles for deletion notices from articles or remove other people's comments in Articles for deletion pages. Doing so won't stop the discussion from taking place. You are however welcome to comment about the proposed deletion on the appropriate page. --Atlan 13:28, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

One more thing, please sign your comments with 4 tildes, or press the "your signature with timestamp" button above the editing window.--Atlan 14:16, 5 May 2007 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Garena
A tag has been placed on Garena 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 company or corporation, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance 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 companies and corporations.

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), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. TrulyBlue (talk) 14:24, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

Re-editing of the Garena article
Hi slug,

Let's try reworking on the Garena article.

Right now you can take a look at User:Mski.benj/Sandbox.

Here is the reply from Garena admins, Stifle


 * Garena was deleted under criterion 7 (under Articles) of our criteria for speedy deletion because it appeared to be an article about which didn't indicate why it was important or significant. Please see  for details of what might show notability. If you think that these criteria are met, please explain which one and provide citations from reliable sources to back up your claim, and I will consider undeleting the article. Stifle (talk) 16:35, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
 * The only one of the sources you suggested that is a reliable source is Alexa, where a rank of 1569 should be sufficient to confirm notability. However, I just looked at the page and it appears that the article was most recently deleted by NawlinWiki. You would need to refer to him to request undeletion, but you can just recreate the article if you wish. Stifle (talk) 19:00, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

Do try editing the one on my sandbox, but refrain from mentioning any claims unless not shown in the references. The problem is that the last one was thought by Wiki editors/admins as advertising in nature. Also, we need to get more sources/references that are not in the Garena website or are reliable like articles from other gaming sites or news organizations.
