Speedy deletion nomination of MommyPicks.com
A tag has been placed on MommyPicks.com 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, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for web content. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, 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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Re MommyPicks.com
I noted the comments you left on the talk page of the above-captioned article, and particularly your suggestion that "While it is informative about the mommypicks.com website, the page is no different than the approved page on Amazon.com." Well, yes, actually, it is. The page about Amazon.com has 96 separate citations from reliable sources that demonstrate notability and the page I saw had none, which is why I decided to agree with the individual who tagged the article for speedy deletion. Although it is not usually considered useful to compare one page to another, since each page is considered entirely on its own merits (see WP:WAX for details), every Wikipedia article is required to meet the basic standards of notability, reliable sources and verifiability. We do treat every page equally in that respect, and that's why I deleted MommyPicks.com. If you want to learn more about Wikipedia's basic standards, have a look at this article and this one. Best of luck with your future contributions. Accounting4Taste: talk 17:43, 20 November 2009 (UTC)
