Naoki Matsudo

A tag has been placed on Naoki Matsudo 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. Whip it! ^{Now whip it good!} 03:54, 21 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

{{helpme}} I'd like to know what to do about most requested articles... I thought it might be nice to fill some of the requests on the "most requested" pages, but apparently they are not wanted. Why are those pages on the list if they aren't wanted? Which articles am I allowed to fill? Thank you for your help... I'm just a little confused. Maniamin (talk) 03:58, 21 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Although there are requested articles, you need to make sure that the subjects qualify the notability criteria to have an article about them. The articles are requested by fellow editors, and you should ensure that they have a place here before making it. When you make an article, it's also important to show why the subject is notable or they are likely to be deleted. Chamal ^talk 05:22, 21 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Translation

Thank you for your instruction. Curious - How does this apply to translation? A figure might be notable in one language but not in another. I filled an article on the requested page by translating it from Italian, where it would be considered notable (I assume). How does this apply to the situation? There are enough links on a subject in one language, but not enough links on a subject in another. Maniamin (talk) 05:26, 21 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I've removed the speedy tag for the time being, but would it be possible for you to continue the translation? I ran the Italian version through Google translator, and it seemed to have more information in than you supplied. This would include the requirements for notability. (I don't know any Italian I'm afraid, otherwise I'd have a go myself, and machine generated translations such as Google are generally not accepted as accurate translations.) Thanks for your help. — Tivedshambo (t/c) 09:28, 21 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion

How do you nominate a page for deletion? Maniamin (talk) 04:32, 22 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There are three processes under which mainspace articles are deleted: 1) speedy deletion; 2) proposed deletion (prod) and 3) Articles for deletion (AfD). If you provide detail on thet particular page you wish to nominate for deletion I can provide more targeted advice. In any event, if the you need further advice after reading up on those three processes, you can post the helpme template again, or just ask me on my talk page. Cheers.--Fuhghettaboutit (talk) 05:38, 22 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Could you explain this [1] edit? This article has nothing to do with computer networking. Exxolon (talk) 20:33, 24 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, please fix it if I made a mistake. Maniamin (talk) 02:14, 25 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Already fixed, I was just a little confused as to how/why it was done. Exxolon (talk) 19:00, 25 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
