Speedy deletion nomination of .NET Rocks!


A tag has been placed on .NET Rocks! 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, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, 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. Jncraton (talk) 18:45, 9 June 2011 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Tim Huckaby


The article Tim Huckaby has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Notability

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.

Regarding the .NET Rocks! AfD
Hello. You asked why I felt so strongly about the AfD outcome. The answer is that I don't feel strongly about it. My intention was to examine what references the article had and how they apply to the criteria detailed in WP:N (one of the guidelines that determines which topics can have articles and which cannot).

I tried to use the clearest phrasing to convey what I thought as to how the coverage in the references went towards WP:N (and WP:RS). Reading what I wrote after not seeing it for a few days, I think it did come off as a bit forceful, but that was not the intention. I apologize if that was the impression you received. I also realized that a few of my points were not as clear as they could have been. If you have questions about any of the the reasons I detailed in the AfD, please feel free to ask that I explain them fully.

Your question also seemed to ask why is the .NET Rocks! article being considered for deletion, while articles about similar podcasts, such as TWiT.tv, are not. (I apologize beforehand if this is not the case.) If this is what you meant, the following essay is a good explanation (better than what I can provide here) of the reasons why: WP:Other stuff exists.
