Speedy deletion nomination of Aerolist, LLC

A tag has been placed on Aerolist, LLC 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 an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles 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 organizations and companies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

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 that has been nominated for deletion (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 page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Articles for deletion nomination of Aerolist, LLC

I have nominated Aerolist, LLC, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Aerolist, LLC. 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.

Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. Nick—^Contact/_Contribs 20:59, 23 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

In light of your contesting the speedy deletion of this article, I elected to take the article to AFD where discussion by the community can decide whether the article should be deleted. Your comments are very welcome on the deletion discussion page. Cheers, Nick—^Contact/_Contribs 21:05, 23 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Understanding the process

Hi Cbowers1175

I can see that you're new here and might not understand why another editor has listed the article about Aerolist, LLC for deletion and what you need to do to establish that the website should rate a mention in this encyclopedia.

The key to demonstrating significance is that outside sources have published stories or articles about the website. For example, if you look at the "References" section in the article about Craigslist, you will see that USA Today, Forbes, Fortune, the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, the San Francisco Chronicle, and many other outside sources have all published articles about Craigslist.

While Aerolist probably hasn't been covered quite like that, perhaps there have been articles in local newspapers or in aviation magazines talking about the site and the business behind it? If so, that would demonstrate the significance of the site. Note that this isn't the same as just a passing mention in one of those publications (or, of course, a paid advertisement!)

I hope this helps a little; if you're still not sure about what's going on here, please feel free to drop me a note on my talk page. Cheers --Rlandmann (talk) 14:44, 25 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
