[edit] Re:?!!!
Hi. You write: Why did you delete my frickin page? 75bg is real!!!!!
Since you'd only been a user for two minutes when you made that comment, and I hadn't deleted any pages either in that time, or by anons before that time for several months, I've no idea what you're talking about. Grutness...wha? 03:10, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
- S'alright - easy mistake to make. I see what happened - I deleted an article with the same title about six months ago; User:Academic Challenger deleted the one you started. As to the reasons... websites have to have a certain level of fame before they get WP articles - this isn't a web directory (think of how many websites there are and how many articles that would be). There are a set of guidelines on web notability at WP:WEB - a website needs to meet at least some of those standards for it to be reasonable to have an article on it. BTW, when you're leaving comments on talk pages, it's useful to add four tildes (~~~~) - that'll leave a link back to your user page so that I know where to reply!

75bg
A tag has been placed on 75bg, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because it is an article about a certain website, blog, forum, or other web content that does not assert the importance or significance of that web location. Please read our criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 7 under Articles, as well as notability guidelines for websites. Please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources which verify their content.
Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on Talk:75bg. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Thanks. Elkman (Elkspeak) 03:18, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Your recent edits
Hi, there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also click on the signature button 
located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot 03:25, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Real
Your webpage may be real, but it's not an encyclopedia job to write about everything that is real (for instance, my goldfish is also real, but I'm not going to write about that either). There are literally billions of websites, and it has been decided a long time ago that Wikipedia is not an index of websites (in part because existing indices like Yahoo and Google do a far better job). So we only cover famous websites. HTH! >Radiant< 12:41, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
