Speedy deletion nomination of Sams sweats


A tag has been placed on Sams sweats 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 the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can 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 a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent 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. bonadea contributions talk 14:05, 22 June 2012 (UTC)

Hi Thing21, I'm really sorry the page you created had to be deleted, but I'm sure you and your mother realise that articles on Wikipedia have to conform to Wikipedia's rules - and one of the most importand of these rules is that all Wikipedia articles have to be about notable subjects. "Notable" doesn't mean "good" or "interesting" or "worthy" - it simply means that the business (or the person, or the thing) must have been written about in multiple reliable sources, for instance major newspapers or books, or else have been covered extensively by other media such as major radio or TV stations. Quite simply, Wikipedia is not a place to spread information about things that are not already well-known. I can understand that your mother was happy to see that you had created a Wikipedia page about her bakery, and it was a nice thing to do for her, but the same rules have to apply to all articles, and unfortunately, it was evident from the article that the business was not, in fact, notable. Here is some more information about creating articles on Wikipedia. All the best, --bonadea contributions talk 15:23, 22 June 2012 (UTC)


 * There are other sites - why not make a Myspace page about the business? JohnCD (talk) 16:09, 22 June 2012 (UTC)
