User talk:Kletskous

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Some of the people, places or things you have written about in the article Open-Of-Course may not be sufficiently well-known to merit articles of their own. The Wikipedia community welcomes newcomers. On Wikipedia, all users are entitled to a user page in which they can describe themselves, and this article's content may be incorporated into that page. However, to merit inclusion in the encyclopedia proper, a subject must be notable, with reference to reliable published sources. We encourage you to write or improve articles on notable subjects. -FisherQueen 14:15, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

I can't understand what the problem is here and why you just deleted my page. I even put it on hold to try and solve the problems but still you just deleted it. This all seems very disrespectful to me and the contributors to open-of-course. Open-Of-Course might be still a young project but at the moment we are leading on http://sitereview.org/. So would you think that would happen if the contents were not notable to people? So please reconsider or at least explain to me why you did this.

[edit] Response to your message

I have not been watching your talk page, so I don't see any messages that you leave for me here. If you are confused about my reasons for referring the article for deletion, follow the relevant links in the message above. If the site is in fact notable, and the article simply didn't make that notability clear, you can contact an administrator and explain why the article should be restored. -FisherQueen 00:13, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] On notability

The notability requirement means that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a web directory- in order to be in here, something needs to be reasonably important or significant. The link you followed has sublinks to specific kinds of notability requirements: you'll find the notability requirements for web pages here. I hope they're helpful.

I didn't delete the page- I'm not an administrator, so I can't. All I did was tagged it. People like me look at brand-new pages and make a decision on whether or not they meet Wikipedia requirements, then tag the ones that don't for the attention of an admin, who makes a decision on whether or not to delete them.

Deleted pages can be brought back if the subject really is notable- I myself had a page I created deleted because I hadn't made the subject's notability clear enough. I contacted an administrator and provided sources that clearly showed how the subject was notable, and after some discussion, the page was resurrected. I had to think hard first, though, about whether I was sure the subject really was notable.

Welcome to Wikipedia, by the way. It can be tricky at first, but it's good work that we're doing here, and we're glad to have you. -FisherQueen 12:43, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
