Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Boy Vs. School has been reverted. Your edit here to Boy Vs. School was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (http://www.facebook.com/boyvsschool) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 06:07, 9 June 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Boy Vs. School


A tag has been placed on Boy Vs. School requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, 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.

Re: Boy Vs.School
Re your message: I read your contested deletion notice before I deleted the article. I have reviewed the article a second time and I stand by my deletion. Being listed by Google does not make a video notable. Please see the notability guidelines for what makes a video notable. The article did not establish why the video series is notable, only that it exists. Existing or having a purpose does not establish a video's notability. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 06:51, 9 June 2011 (UTC)


 * Re your message: I have restored the article to your user space at User:WattLA/Boy Vs. School so that you can work on the article and establish the video series' notability. The short answer to your question is that in order for the video series to be notability, it must have been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the producers.  In other words, some news organizations must have written about your series.  The exact details are at the notability guidelines.  Merely being up on YouTube and having lots of view does not establish notability.  It must be independently written about. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 07:07, 9 June 2011 (UTC)
