[edit] Cyber Slam

Cyber Slam has been proposed for deletion. An editor felt this community is not notable enough for an article. Please review the relevant guidelines at WP:WEB. If you can edit the article to address these concerns, please do so.

If no one objects to the deletion within five days by removing the prod notice, the article may be deleted without further discussion. NickelShoe 15:46, 24 February 2006 (UTC)


[edit] About Cyber Slam page

NickelShoe has suggested to delete the Cyber Slam entry within hours of going up. While I do like the speed at which things can change on Wikipedia, I do NOT believe the Cyber Slam entry should be deleted. This is a first full entry for me and there is a LOT to learn. The Cyber Slam entry has already gone through a number of small edits and I'm trying to get the members of the Cyber Slam community more involved.

On a small note: If the Cyber Slam entry is deleted, I personally feel this would be unfair as many other Wikipedia websites entries have less content and are out of date. It would be a real shame to push some people away that are trying to learn the system while others that have clearly not tried hard are welcome to stay. (More than welcome to post links to a handful of entry if required.)

With a little bit of time, I'm sure the Cyber Slam communtiy will have a solid Wikipedia entry.

BTW, Thanks NickelShoe for the pointers!

response to {{helpme}} tag
The issue is not with the amount of content on the article but whether the article should be included in wikipedia. The original person that requested its deletion felt, from the tag, that the article was too close to advertising. Some relevant pages to read are what wikipedia is not. It's not a clear cut case though, and any deletion of the article will, at this time, require consensus. As of right now the article isn't in danger of being deleted, although it is somewhat likely that the editor that would like it deleted will nominate it for deletion. If that happens the page will have instructions for you to contest the deletion. - cohesion★talk 09:07, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for your feedback, help and advice. Tigger-oN 09:44, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

For the record, I'm not the one who proposed the deletion, I'm the one who bothered to tell you about it. If you have a question about something someone posts on your talk page, click on their screenname and it'll take you to their user page. Then click the "discussion" tab and "edit this page" to leave them a message. I'd've come back and helped you with this if you'd've asked me.
It would be reasonable for you to put your reasoning for why the article should be kept on its talk page. But reasoning that since there are bad articles out there, we should keep all articles doesn't make sense. Just because an article is out there doesn't mean it ought to be. Plenty of articles out there should be deleted, but no one's got around to it yet.
You can propose these other articles for deletion if you want them gone simply by adding {{prod|Reason}} to the top of them, putting your reasoning in place of "Reason." To let the creator of the article know, click "history" on the top of the article, then click the person's name who's at the bottom and go to their discussion page. You can leave them a form letter by typing {{PRODWarning|Article name}} (replacing "Article name" with the name of the article). NickelShoe 12:03, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
Great job, if that was you who made the recent edits. I'm glad that someone put some effort into improving the article. I just voted keep. NickelShoe 00:14, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
