[edit] Speedy deletion of Bestfreewebhost.info

A tag has been placed on Bestfreewebhost.info, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read our the guidelines on spam as well as the Wikipedia:Business' FAQ for more information.

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. ~ LegoK^ontribsT^alkM 02:02, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Bestfreewebhost.info

Google is notable in the press. The article you created did not assert or meet WP:NOTABILITY requirements, and was promotional in tone. Wikipedia is not itself a webhosting service or a directory - content must be referenced and encyclopedic in nature. Acroterion _(talk) 02:08, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

Also please try to make sure the article is from a neutral point of view. If you would like to help create new articles, you can get help at WP:ADOPT, and next time sign your comments by pressing the sign button (), or by typing in four tildes (~) like this ~~~~. ~ LegoK^ontribsT^alkM 02:17, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

ok so I can make an article about this site as long as it is in a nuetral tone and is basically the defenition of the site and what it is, right? I tried to make the article like this with internal links and referances but I guess it did not meet your requirements. I am trying to make my first article and wanted to start with something simple so I chose this site. Thanks for the help btw.

References are the hard part here. It's also getting harder to find new things to write about. FYI, free web hosting articles are deleted all the time, so it's not a good place to start. Try reading Your First Article for some help, and don't be discouraged. Acroterion _(talk) 02:31, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

so do you think I shouldn't try this page again? I can't think of anything else to write about... Maybe I can look at the page of a free hosting site and make my page like it.

Not unless it's a notable free web hosting site, with independent references. I'd suggest you write about something you know well that's been covered in the press: a (non-commercial) place or person that's received some coverage. If you can come up with some references proving notability of this particular site, it would meet our requirements, but its mere existence doesn't qualify it for inclusion.

[edit] Another Idea

Ok what about a page for Arlington Babtist Church? It's a church in my area and non profit so would be a good one to do right?
