[edit] Speedy deletion of Babelgum Online Film Festival

A tag has been placed on Babelgum Online Film Festival requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (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 would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

[edit] Speedy deletion

At the time I deleted it, the page just had a couple of links with no context as to what those links were. That meets Wikipedia's criteria for speedy deletion. Since it's been re-created, I see that it includes references, assertions of notability, etc. It no longer meets the speedy deletion criteria.

For future reference, I'd suggest that when you create articles you begin with an assertion of notability ("...is the first online film festival" is a good one), or at least complete sentences. If you want to have some links handy, put them in a different window. Sarcasticidealist (talk) 12:07, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] thanks

Thanks for the explanations, it's the first page I've created and I was following the guidelines for "your first article" which I understood to mean I should first put in the references before writing any content? Well, I'll carry on working on it and hopefully bring it up to scratch :)

Nope - references should go in there to support content. Ideally, this means they should go in at the same time. But if we see an article that's just a couple of weblinks, we'll conclude it's nonsense and delete it. But, as I said, you're on the right track now. Welcome to Wikipedia, and please feel free to contact me if you ever have any more questions. Sarcasticidealist (talk) 12:18, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:Babelgum Logo.png)

Thanks for uploading Image:Babelgum Logo.png. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 01:00, 7 February 2008 (UTC)
