RE: Akron Wiki
On the initial speedy deletion note you(I guess) marked the page because in the article it states the Akron Wiki was created in Summer '06? Didn't know that longevity was a factor but I think it's important to note that the site that runs the Wiki is several years old. Any way you could let me know what's up? Sorry if this is posted in the wrong place.--Ur1ofus 10:50, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Hi! I made no distinction about the longevity of the organisation;  per my interpretation of Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion, particularly number seven in the articles section, I felt it was appropriate to delete the article, as it is a non-notable Wiki that asserted no genuine importance within the article.  The article is still in the database, so please feel free to ask another admin to view it, and perhaps he/she will undelete it (I am firm on the article's lack of notability).  Also, if you want the content for something else, I'd be happy to re-create the article in your userspace.  I hope this helps and feel free to contact me again with any other comments or questions.

 * Thank you for your reply. I'm unsure as to what would make this a non-notable Wiki or how to better assert it's importance through the article to make it up to your standards. For example looking at other apparently notable wiki's that have been around for a while on Wikipedia I can garner not a lot (if any) difference between my article and theirs. For example the Comixpedia entry has been on Wikipedia for about a year now and I can't tell you why their article would be more notable than the one that I wrote. Also, I'm not sure how to ask any other admins (or who they would be) to review this deletion either. Suggestions on either of these would be appreciated as I only want to make this better, and am willing to put in the time, only I'm not sure the best way to proceed. Thanks! --Ur1ofus 17:08, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Hi again! I've userfied the article, so it's contents can be viewed at User:Ur1ofus/Akron_Wiki.  The article, as it stands now, doesn't assert any genuine notability in that it mentions Akron Wiki as simply a sister project to a personal site geared towards socialising among Akron's population.  I'm not sure how the article could be rewritten, as it seems inherently non-notable, but the article is now userfied for you to edit at your whim.  I hope this helps and please don't hestitate to contact me again   hoopydink  Conas tá tú? 18:12, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
