If you need help look at Wikipedia:Help and The FAQ , plus if you can't find your answer there, check The Village pump (for Wikipedia related questions) or The Reference Desk (for general questions)! There's still more help at the Tutorial and Policy Library. Plus, don't forget to visit the Community Portal.

  • If you want to play around with your new Wiki skills the Sandbox is for you.
  • You can sign your name using three tildes, like &#126&#126~. If you use four, you can add a datestamp too.

Shiny Diamonds

It looks like the main problem that The Shiny Diamonds controversy article has at this point is with WP:NOTABLE. I would suggest reading that guideline if you haven't already. I'm still fairly new to these sorts of procedures, but if you can cite some verifiable sources on this controversy, and mention them in the discussion, it should be enough to persuade an administrator to keep this article. I would add anything you can find on this. The more sources, the better. I can help add sources to the article if you know of any.

I was mainly interested in keeping the article because it appeared to involve a Wikipedia controversy. Deleting it could have given the appearance of trying to sweep it under the rug. I wanted to wait it out to see if more developed. It looks like that isn't enough of a reason to keep something around which doesn't demonstrate notability.

If you can find more media reports, that should be enough to show notability and keep the article in place. If the article gets deleted, and more stories come out later, you can request to have the article un-deleted (see WP:UNDEL). I am not completely familiar with that process, but I'll look into it if it comes up. Just let me know.

Good luck. Don't get discouraged if the article gets deleted and don't take anything that is said in the AfD process personally. It's not about you. - Justin (Authalic) 04:48, 19 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Little context in Image:Man masturbates.jpg

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Image:Man masturbates.jpg, by N (talk · contribs), another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Image:Man masturbates.jpg is very short providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Image:Man masturbates.jpg, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Please note, this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion, it did not nominate Image:Man masturbates.jpg itself. Feel free to leave a message on the bot operator's talk page if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot. --Android Mouse Bot 2 23:19, 16 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The Shiny Diamonds controversy

I've nominated The Shiny Diamonds controversy, now a redirect but created as an article by you, for discussion at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2011 October 1 since the topic is no longer covered at the target article. Your comments would be welcome there. Alzarian16 (talk) 17:37, 1 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of David L Wiltshire

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on David L Wiltshire, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

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 "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 deleted 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, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Advice

Hi. All new articles have to include reliable third-party references, and subjects must meet the Wikipedia:Notability criteria. Accordingly I have had to delete your article as it is not up to the standard. Please read the guidelines to find out more. To be on the safe side, please also read Wikipedia:Conflict of interest.
