[edit] Speedy deletion of MyInvestingBlog

A tag has been placed on MyInvestingBlog 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 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, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for web 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 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] Re: myinvestingblog.com

Re your message: The article you created was deleted because the article did not state why the blog is notable enough for inclusion on Wikipedia. It is generally not a good idea to write an article about a website that you run as it is a conflict of interest. You might also want to read the Business' FAQ for more info.

I did read the statement that you left on why you added the article. Wikipedia articles are not intended to be directories to resources outside of Wikipedia. Instead, most articles describe the particular topic. So for example, the Personal finance article would be what personal finance is all about, not necessarily links to blogs or websites that assist with personal finance (Q&A, tips, resources, etc.).

If you are interested in contributing to the various finance articles on Wikipedia, you might be interesting in joining the WikiProject Business and Economics. It's a coordinating group on enhancing the various business and economics related articles. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 18:20, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

Please read Wikipedia's Guidelines on Conflict of Interest. That might make things more clear. Hope this helps. Regards. --Foggy Morning (talk) 00:41, 13 March 2008 (UTC)
