Speedy deletion nomination of Trolltown Games


A tag has been placed on Trolltown Games 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 read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, 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 from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. Ben Ben (talk) 20:52, 31 August 2013 (UTC)

Why Trolltown Games is up for deletion
Hello Yksimalt, welcome to Wikipedia. The main problem with the article is that it was completely unreferenced. Every Wikipedia article needs independent, reliable sources to show that the subject of the article is notable. Howicus (talk) 21:25, 31 August 2013 (UTC)

I see. Thank you for explaining. How does Wikipedia prefer the references to be stated?
 * Take a look at WP:REFBEGIN, that explains how to format references. Also look at WP:IRS for help in finding good sources.  Oh, one more thing, when you make a post on a talk page, please sign your post with four tildes ( ~ ).  Howicus (talk) 21:47, 31 August 2013 (UTC)

Ok, I'll take a look at the link. Thank you again. Yksimalt (talk) 21:50, 31 August 2013 (UTC)


 * As it happens, I have just deleted the page because of the speedy deletion request. When you have found some references that show how Trolltown Games is significant and notable enough you can present them here (preferably weblinks to magazine or news articles and such). I could then restore the article and include your sources. De728631 (talk) 22:03, 31 August 2013 (UTC)


 * On another note, I have just left you a message at your Wikimedia Commons account regarding File:Trolltown Games 2013-08-31 21-10.jpg. You claim to be the author but this file is featured on the official Trolltowns website without any free license. It is therefore important that you confirm your new Creative Commons license by email. How that works is explained in my message over there. De728631 (talk) 22:06, 31 August 2013 (UTC)
