Speedy deletion nomination of Unintentionally gay


A tag has been placed on Unintentionally gay 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, 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; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), 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. 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. Drmies (talk) 03:26, 6 April 2011 (UTC)


 * There has been no attempt to mislead Wikipedia or disguise the nature of this contribution. It was written under a username established for this purpose, identifiable as the creator of the subject of this article.


 * There is no intent to commercialize or exploit for advertising purposes. The article is a stub--the introduction describes the subject of the article in level language and in no way promotes it. The history section makes no secret of the fact that the article's subject has been in existence for a very short time; it proceeds to exposit compactly the reason that so short-lived a subject should be considered significant.


 * Please research for yourself the significance of an authentication-free upload paradigm for YouTube pages.


 * In the meantime, if deletion of the external link at the bottom of the article makes any impact on the way the article is viewed, consider it done--I modeled this article on one which included an external links section, and I went to some lengths to minimize any appearance of self-promotion within it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by UnintentionallyGay (talk • contribs)


 * One problem with your article—and with your user page—is the amount of embedded HTML code within it. It renders the page difficult, if not impossible, to read. It also raises the question of whether it was inappropriately copied from another website.


 * If you want to contribute to Wikipedia, I strongly suggest that you review the welcome page and the guidelines linked there, and that you limit your contributions to Wikimedia markup only (no raw HTML). —C.Fred (talk) 04:52, 6 April 2011 (UTC)

I had no idea my user page was subject to that sort of scrutiny--or even to non-privileged access. I was definitely performing some experimentation in that space and left it in a temporary disarray. I have deleted that jumbled mess.

That being stipulated, it is disingenuous of you to state that the problem was shared by the article in question. There was no HTML embedded within my upload to the article space. If you return the original article (deleted by Stephen) to any appropriate space, anyone can see you projected a problem with the userpage you did see onto an article that you clearly never laid eyes on. The gall to further categorize my upload with "It also raises the question of whether it was inappropriately copied from another website" is a suggestion of dishonorable conduct which I will not abide--in the context of your fabricated description of the deleted article, the accusation is clearly a projection of your own dishonesty.UnintentionallyGay (talk) 06:01, 6 April 2011 (UTC)


 * I apologize for mischaracterizing the article. I requested to look at a deleted copy of the article, and that doesn't seem to be what Wikipedia presented to me yesterday.


 * The article itself is about a non-notable new website: no independent reliable sources, no verification of the claims made in the article. By new website, I also mean less than three hours old (article timestamped 03:56 UTC on 6 April, article text says the website was "Established on April 6, 2011"). So, the problem with the article was as described: it was about a website with no assertion of the signficance or importance of it. —C.Fred (talk) 14:39, 6 April 2011 (UTC)
