Notability of Tina Nail

The article Tina Nail has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done because the article seemed to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it did not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. If you can indicate why the subject is really notable, you are free to re-create the article, making sure to cite any verifiable sources.

Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and for specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for musicians, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. --Fuhghettaboutit 13:30, 8 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Spam links

Please do not add advertising or inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did in Tenby. Wikipedia is not a mere directory of links nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that exist to attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam policies for further explanations of links that are considered appropriate. If you feel the link should be added to the article, then please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. See the welcome page to learn more about Wikipedia. Thank you.

Tenby links - DMOZ solution implemented

Thank you for your message! The link that you repeatedly keep adding to both the Tenby and Saundersfoot articles, you seem to have an interest in, and itself fails WP:EXT due to its excess commerciality (Google Adwords). We have had similar problems on the Fowey article, and so I have implemented the solution we put in place there by: (1) Removing all but official and WikiTravel links, (2) adding the link to DMOZ, where you can add your link and get an SEO backlink credit (all links at Wikipedia are nofollow).

Cockapoo edits

Hi. I am new to Wikipedia and learning. I am wondering why have removed my attempts to update the Cockapoo page. I have added what I thought was valuable temperament info and what I consider a valuable external link to the www.cockapoocrazy.com informational website, but you removed the link for being commercial and including adwords. While that site does feature a book for sale on one of the pages, the website itself is a free info source with many dozens of articles on cockapoos. It is no different than the links you are allowing on the site permanently, like www.cockapooclub.com, which sells its book through its site, or www.cockapooclubgb.co.uk, which features adwords. Can you please point me to the policies that decide which sites with advertising, book sales, and/or adwords are allowed as links and which aren't so that I may not make the same mistake with other edits I had planned? Almost every website has a link of some kind to advertising or a product on its pages, and since this is how we point to our resources, I am wondering what situations or layouts cause deletion, so that I don't waste time with edits that will only be deleted in the future.Psychocy (talk) 19:02, 21 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your message! The link that you keep adding to this article you seem to have an interest in, and fails WP:EXT due to its excess commercial nature (Google Adwords). It is also not permitted to link to personal web pages. All other links are to officially recognised Cockapoo organisations.Jonlangford (talk) 12:25, 23 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
