Notability of The Southern Avenger

edit
 

A tag has been placed on The Southern Avenger requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Bearian (talk) 19:36, 22 July 2008 (UTC)Reply

The Southern Avenger

edit

Hi. If you feel you can establish the notability of this article, you might wish to consider doing so in a user subpage. If you can make an assertion of notability, bolstered with reliable sources that verify the article's claims, it will have a much stronger chance of surviving "new page" patrol. However, your most recent incarnation of the article consisted of no text whatsoever other than a {{hangon}} tag, and it has been deleted under WP:CSD#A3, as an empty article. If you have questions about any of Wikipedia's policies or guidelines, or about creating new articles, you're welcome to ask at my talk page. Alternatively, you may seek further feedback at Wikipedia's help desk, typically manned around the clock by volunteers. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 20:17, 3 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

Beg your pardon? Dlohcierekim 13:23, 4 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for your note. I am very familiar with notability. Cheers, Dlohcierekim 22:16, 4 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

PS. Please sign your post with ~~~~. Dlohcierekim 22:17, 4 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

Glad to see you struck that comment. All that matters to me is that a subject does or does not meet notability standards. Ideology has no place here. Nor does grand standing or soapboxing. Dlohcierekim 22:21, 4 August 2008 (UTC)Reply

Evenflo Company

edit

Hi - I wanted to let you know I moved your article Evenflo to Evenflo Company and added to the couple of lines you wrote. The company is notable but your article stub was minimal. I didn't want to overstep my bounds but the two lines you put there would likely have been deleted. Please feel free to add additional content on the subject. |► ϋrбanяeneωaℓTALK ◄| 20:48, 6 October 2009 (UTC)Reply
