Speedy deletion nomination of Stocking Anarchy


A tag has been placed on Stocking Anarchy requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject of the article is important or significant: that is, why an article about it 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.

If you can assert the notability of the subject,. Clicking that button 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 article's talk page directly to give your reasons, 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. You may freely add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

See the guidelines for specific types of articles: biographies, websites, bands, or companies. CanadianLinuxUser (talk) 16:59, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

Notability
Welcome, again. You wrote: "I would've thought to gain all knowledge, every detail of every person would be needed, not just people or things that are famous." Actually, no. There have been, and still are, arguments about what, and how much, to include, but it has been firmly decided that Wikipedia is not attempting to be a "list of everything and everybody". There is a fairly long list of things that WP:Wikipedia is not, and in particular there is an inclusion criterion called WP:Notability, which is not a matter of opinion but has to be demonstrated by showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." The test is, have people not connected with the subject thought it important and significant enough to write substantial comment about?

For people, that is explained in more detail at WP:Notability (people), and for musical performers at WP:MUSICBIO.

Also, in order to maintain a neutral point of view and to prevent Wikipedia being used for promotion, people are strongly discouraged from writing about themselves, as explained at Autobiography.

The links above will tell you more about Wikipedia. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 17:25, 8 July 2011 (UTC)
