A tag has been placed on Airwaysim, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because it is an article about a certain website, blog, forum, or other web content that does not assert the importance or significance of that web location. Please read our criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 7 under Articles, as well as notability guidelines for websites. Please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources which verify their content.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material, please affix the template  to the page, and put a note on Talk:Airwaysim. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Thanks. Blanchardb- Me  MyEarsMyMouth-timed 02:26, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Please do not delete as this is inteded on being updated as much as possible to eventually include sufficient information, possible walkthroughs, and graphics. I do not have time to fully post an article on this RIGHT NOW, but instead within the next several days. Other people from Airwaysim also intend on updating and even translating it into other languages. I hope this provides a sufficient amount of an overview for you (the staff) not to delete it.

If you have a close connection to some of the people, places or things you have written about, you may have a conflict of interest. In keeping with Wikipedia's neutral point of view policy, edits where there is a conflict of interest, or where such a conflict might reasonably be inferred from the tone of the edit and the proximity of the editor to the subject, are strongly discouraged. If you have a conflict of interest, you should avoid or exercise great caution when:
 * 1) editing articles related to you, your organization, or its competitors, as well as projects and products they are involved with,
 * 2) participating in deletion discussions about articles related to your organization or its competitors,
 * 3) linking to the Wikipedia article or website of your organization in other articles (see Spam);
 * and you must always:
 * 1) avoid breaching relevant policies and guidelines, especially neutral point of view, verifiability, and autobiography.

For information on how to contribute to Wikipedia when you have conflict of interest, please see Business' FAQ. For more details about what constitutes a conflict of interest, please see Conflict of Interest. --Blanchardb- Me  MyEarsMyMouth-timed 02:52, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

[This is a reply to comments on my talk page.] What is wrong with the content? Exactly what Blanchardb explained above. The article appears to meet our criteria for speedy deletion, namely that there is no indication of the significance of the topic. Indeed, it is not at all clear that the Web site meets our notability guideline for Web content. If you could cite non-trivial, published, independent coverage of the Web site, that would be helpful (for example, an article about the Web site in a respected periodical). However, since your user name suggests that you may have a conflict of interest in this article, I would recommend that you abandon your attempt to salvage the article and instead devote your efforts to topics in which you do not have a vested interest. If you are so confident that the topic is notable, surely a neutral party will see fit to write an article about it in time. —Caesura(t) 05:07, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I hope this doesn't sound rude, but potatoes affect billions of people's lives and AirwaySim affects perhaps hundreds, so I don't think that's a fair comparison. That said, arguing the point serves no purpose. I did not write Wikipedia's guidelines; I am just one of many people who tries to bring articles into compliance with them. You thus have basically two approaches: either try demonstrate that AirwaySim meets our guidelines for notability (e.g., by citing a reputable newspaper that has run an article on AirwaySim) or try to get the guidelines changed. I would suggest that the first approach would be much easier; consult the relevant guideline to see what is involved. To discuss possible changes of guidelines, you could try Village pump (policy). Debating the matter with me further will be unproductive. There are now six people who have given you the same message (the four admins who delete the four articles you created, Blandchardb, and me), which should suggest to you that community consensus stands against you. —Caesura(t) 05:31, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

As you said, the site is brand new. Give it a couple of years and maybe you'll have newspapers writing about it left and right! :-)

Citing a periodical isn't the only way to establish notability under the guideline. You could also: Remember that everything must be verifiable in a reliable source as well. If you cannot do these things, it may be evidence that the topic does not merit its own article at this point. As I said, one approach is to wait two or three years for the site to gain widespread acclaim. Wikipedia reports on already notable things; it does not make them notable. You may want to read What Wikipedia is not for some motivation for this sort of thing. —Caesura(t) 05:49, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
 * show that the Web site has won a well-known and independent award from a publication or organization.
 * show that the content is distributed via a medium that is respected and independent of the creators, such as through an online publisher or broadcaster.
 * No problem. Sorry I couldn't be more encouraging. My advice for starting out would be to find a topic you're interested in that already has an article, and work to improve that. That might be a smoother way of getting settled in here. You may also want to have a look at our welcome page, since you haven't been properly welcomed. Happy editing. :-) —Caesura(t) 05:57, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Your recent edits
Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot 05:44, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
