Speedy deletion of Noah Lindsey Cyrus.

A tag has been placed on Noah Lindsey Cyrus. 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 a person or group of people, 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, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

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 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. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you.

AfD nomination of Princess protection program

I have nominated Princess protection program, an article 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/Princess protection program. 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.

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from a page you have created yourself. If you do not believe the page should be deleted, you can place a {{hangon}} tag on the page, under the existing speedy deletion tag (please do not remove the speedy deletion tag), and make your case on the page's talk page. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you. ~Pip 11:25, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's at AFD, not CSD, now, so that gives you a few days. {{hangon}} is only used with CSD. What you need to find is better sources. I found a few and added them, which should stop it from being deleted, but they may not be enough. The more real sources you find, the better. Not blogs, not fansites, not gossip sites, not forums, not IMDB, but official sites. Sources from Disney.com, sources from the official Demi Lovato and Selena Gomez sites, www.variety.com, things like that. If you can get two more official sources, there's really no way the article can be deleted.—Kww(talk) 14:44, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I'm surprised. They speedied it, and I thought there were enough sources to keep it this time. Go ahead and find a few more reliable sources, and I will take the articles through the proper steps to bring it back and make sure it stays back.—Kww(talk) 20:15, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Notability of Adria Dawn

A tag has been placed on Adria Dawn requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, 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 article (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. — 72.75.110.31 (talk) 19:32, 30 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Flagging Adria Dawn for further review

Hello, Gdaly7 … I recently encountered the article about Adria Dawn and in my opinion, it either does not verifiably satisfy the Notability criteria for Biographies, or it may violate the Conflict of interest guideline, or perhaps it violates a copyright.

Princess Protection Program

It's been protected against creation, now ... I requested that mainly as a way to keep kids out of trouble and getting blocked for constantly creating bad versions. If you can find official sources for this show ... not IMDB, blogs, forums, or fansites, I will take you through the steps of of creating an article that will stay. —Kww(talk) 13:04, 1 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
