 that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

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 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 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. NAHID 12:14, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] your edit at Zoroaster

When you notice that your changes are not "catching on," you might find that the edit history will give you a reason why they didn't. In the case of Zoroaster, the name of the hymns are not mentioned in the lede because

  • "some" people think he wrote the whole Avesta, or at least significant portions of it
  • only the most essential information should be in the lede sentences of an article.
  • in this case, it also destroys the readability

Further, in your particular case, the grammar was faulty.

Don't let these points discourage you in general, have fun, but also please be prepared to learn.
