Speedy deletion nomination of Deadly Film Productions


A tag has been placed on Deadly Film Productions 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 an organization or company, 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". 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 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. Nat Gertler (talk) 20:47, 4 February 2012 (UTC)

Everything's Going to be Nice
Hey Spurs,

Congratulations on setting up Deadly Film Productions with your friends from school, and thanks for writing about your plans on this here site. Bummer your article got deleted, but the way Wikipedia works is that in order to qualify for an entry, you have to be “notable”. In your case, that means getting your shows produced, viewed by lots of folks, and reviewed in “reliable sources” such as national newspapers, magazines, or popular blogs. Your article should reflect what people have written about you, with the various reviews listed in the References section at the bottom of the page, and footnotes in the actual text indicating which fact was published where. The Wikipedia entry for The Asylum is a pretty good example from your future area of work. Also, ideally you shouldn’t write about yourself. Check out Conflict of interest for a list reasons why this is generally not recommended. But don’t worry about that now. Chances are, by the time you’ve become the next Joe Cornish, you’ll be far too busy polishing your next script to even think about Wikipedia, and someone else may have written an entry about you and your crew already.

Best of luck!

 * Well, partly true: speedy deletion under the A7 criterion means that the article didn't make a credible claim of importance--see Csd. Your article didn't make any such claim, and had no verifiable content that could indicate importance, let alone notability by our standards. Thank you, Drmies (talk) 14:55, 6 February 2012 (UTC)
