[edit] AfD nomination of Slaveevi Noshti

I have nominated Slaveevi Noshti, an article you created, for deletion. I do not feel that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Slaveevi Noshti. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time. — HelloAnnyong (say whaaat?!) 06:40, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletion of Slaveevi Noshti

A tag has been placed on Slaveevi Noshti 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 a person or group of people, 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 biographies.

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] Slaveevi Noshti

Well, you've made your opinion at the AfD clear, so that's all you really need to do towards that end. In the meantime, if you think that you can fill out the article some by expanding it - and more importantly, finding some good third party references and citations - that would go a long ways towards keeping the article. The article wasn't nominated for deletion because an editor didn't like it, just that he felt that it wasn't clearly notable. If you can provide a news article, for example, covering the festival, it would help.

Hope this helps. You may find Wikipedia:Introduction helpful as well. Tijuana Brass (talk) 07:38, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

No problem. Let me know if you need any more help. Tijuana Brass (talk) 08:04, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

I was reviewing some of the external links you provided and noticed that the title of this one is the same name of the festival. But, since I can't read Bulgarian(?), I don't know what it says or even what the source is. Is this from a newspaper? If so, is it an actual article, or just a schedule? If it's an article, that would be helpful... and, if it is, if you could translate the article title, newspaper title, author name, and date, I'll put together the reference for you.

Doing citations properly can be a little bit of a headache, but once you figure out the basic format, it's not hard. The general policy is at WP:CITE, if you want to look over it. The policy is pretty long, and you don't need to read the whole thing to get the general idea. Just know that most articles require a few third party citations in order to establish their encyclopedic notability.
To do a citation, you'll want to use one of the templates at Wikipedia:Citation templates. In this case, we'll need to use either {{cite web}} or {{cite news}}. Take a look at either to get a general idea of how it's done. It may be easiest if I do the first one for you, so you can see it "in action", so to speak, and kind of follow along.
To do that, I'll use the first reference listed (the same one I mentioned above), but I need to clarify a few things... is it just a website on its own, or is the website of a newspaper? Is the title of it "Internet Media Big" or something else? And is there an author's name attached to this article?
Let me know. I'm signing off for the evening, so I'll have to get to the reference sometime tomorrow if you'd like me to do the first one. Check back to see if it's done. Good work tracking down these sources. Tijuana Brass (talk) 08:38, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
