Proposed deletion of Caffeinista

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Caffeinista, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

November 2010

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added to the page Physical exercise do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used as a platform for advertising or promotion, and doing so is contrary to the goals of this project. Because Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. Drmies (talk) 04:00, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I apologize - a sincere mistake by an unexperienced user - me... Ednoror (talk) 02:13, 19 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of FlexiScore

You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles. See the Article Wizard.

Thank you.

A tag has been placed on FlexiScore, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be unambiguous advertising that 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 the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add {{hangon}} on the top of FlexiScore and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from independent reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. ITasteLikePaint (talk) 06:35, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Nomination of FlexiScore for deletion

A discussion has begun about whether the article FlexiScore, which you created or to which you contributed, should be deleted. While contributions are welcome, an article may be deleted if it is inconsistent with Wikipedia policies and guidelines for inclusion, explained in the deletion policy.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/FlexiScore until a consensus is reached, and you are welcome to contribute to the discussion.

You may edit the article during the discussion, including to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. TRANSPORTERMAN (TALK) 16:02, 17 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I hope you had a chance to review my gratitude message for the change you made. All I am asking for is just some more time for flexibility score terminology to live in Wiki... Thank you, TransporterMan... Ednoror (talk) 02:17, 19 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I appreciate the thanks, but I only removed the speedy nomination because it did not conform to Wikipedia policy, not because I thought your article should survive. In effect the person who nominated it just used the wrong process to nominate it for deletion. That's the reason that I turned right around and re-nominated it for deletion using the proper process. I think that you may be missing the point of Wikipedia. It's not a place for new things to become established, it's an encyclopedia. If you look at the Encyclopedia Brittanica or the Columbia Encyclopedia or the World Book, they do not include new and novel things. They only include things which have already been accepted as being important or significant. Since we do not have an editorial board here to make that decision subjectively, we make that judgment here at Wikipedia through the concept of notability. Let me add a word of friendly advice: Though it may not look like it on first blush, there are strict policies on what subjects and content can and cannot be included in Wikipedia. In very general terms, before a person, place, thing, organization, or idea can be included in Wikipedia it must have

already been recognized
as important or significant
by objective, independent, and provable third party sources
with a established reputation for fact-checking
which are independent of both the subject of the article and of Wikipedia itself.

That's just a plain-English generalization of the actual rules to give you an idea of what's going on here, so don't rely on it but refer to the actual policies instead. (For a great analogy illustrating these concepts, see WP:SCRABBLE.) Without a working knowledge of Wikipedia policy it can be very frustrating to try to write an article that won't be deleted. I've tried several times to write a better introduction to editing than can be found at the Article Wizard and Your First Article and I can't. Don't be tempted to skip past sections of either one, they're full of solid gold information. Also, if you've not done so already, you need to read the Notability, Verifiability, No original research, What Wikipedia is not, and Conflict of interest policies from beginning to end. Good luck with your editing, TRANSPORTERMAN (TALK) 02:44, 19 November 2010 (UTC)[reply]
