From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] February 2008

A tag has been placed on VAROS:Heart of a phoenix requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or 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. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, 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 confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Bazzargh (talk) 11:43, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

I see the speedy deletion has already happened, just writing a response to what you said on the page. It wasn't nominated for being about Bebo; but under the rule WP:CSD#A7: "An article about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content that does not indicate why its subject is important or significant." If this made it past speedy deletion, it would have fairly quickly made it to a Proposed Deletion because it didn't meet the any of the notability criteria for web content. The (unsourced) claims of its increased popularity seem unlikely since the HeartOfAPhoenix profile on bebo only had 44 hits; I couldn't find any third party talking about the book. It might be worth reading Wikipedia:Your first article to learn how to avoid this happening in the future. --Bazzargh (talk) 14:52, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
