Editors of Wikipedia who are engaged in content creation work will, almost inevitably get one or more of their articles nominated for deletion. This banner is among the top of Wikipedians' worst nightmares:
This article is being considered for deletion in accordance with Wikipedia's deletion policy. Please share your thoughts on the matter at this article's entry on the Articles for deletion page. Feel free to edit the article, but the article must not be blanked, and this notice must not be removed, until the discussion is closed. For more information, particularly on merging or moving the article during the discussion, read the guide to deletion. |
Most of the time, their article or articles were nominated for deletion because of a notability issue.
Let's say that you just had one of your creations nominated for deletion because the topic/subject is not notable; however, you are absolutely clueless over what notability on Wikipedia is. This guide will explain to the layman what notability is.
