Speedy deletion nomination of The Best That Never Was

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on The Best That Never Was 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 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.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), 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. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you.

Winning Time: Reggie Miller vs. The New York Nicks

The page Winning Time: Reggie Miller vs. The New York Nicks has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appeared to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group or service and which is unlikely to be suitable for an article (or at best would need a fundamental rewrite). Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

Notability guidelines

Hello, Jackm26. You asked (here) what are the notability guidelines for documentaries. The guideline for films is at WP:NFILMS, which is no more than a specific version of the general notability guideline, which states that the subject (in this instance, the film) must have "received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject". There are some situations in which an article that doesn't meet the guidelines can be "speedily deleted" ("speedy" here simply refers to the type of deletion process). There is no speedy deletion criterion for films, which is why I removed the csd tag from The Best That Never Was. But that doesn't mean that the film is necessarily notable, which is why I then proposed it (and a couple of other articles about documentaries) for deletion.

If you think the films are "notable" (in the sense in which Wikipedia uses the term) you're at liberty to remove the PROD notice, though that doesn't necessarily stop the page from being deleted: there is yet another step (known as AfD) in which the proposed deletion is opened up for discussion by any interested editor, after which the page may be kept or deleted, depending on the consensus of the debate.

Sorry if all this sounds a bit forbidding, it's merely one way in which Wikipedia tries to maintain the quality of the encyclopedia. A possibility that you might like to consider is to include the details of the documentaries in the articles on their subjects. Marcus Dupree, for example, has a WP page, and there's nothing to stop you inserting a section there about the documentary. Regards. Jimmy Pitt talk 21:54, 12 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
