This is an essay. It contains the advice or opinions of one or more Wikipedia contributors. This page is not an encyclopedia article, nor is it one of Wikipedia's policies or guidelines, as it has not been thoroughly vetted by the community. Some essays represent widespread norms; others only represent minority viewpoints.

If you came here, you're probably wondering why I nominated your article for deletion. Below are some of the criteria I use when reviewing new articles that I hope will explain why I have done this:

Quick-fail list:

Ad

• If your article reads like an ad, I will nominate it for deletion. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a place to advertise your company for free. Wikipedia also has guidelines about notability that may be found
  neutral point of view and an "ad-like" article is never, let me repeat that, never neutral. Even if you think the sentence "Joe's Computer Barn is a world-renowned provider of advanced technology solutions to hundreds of clients across the UK" is neutral, it isn't. Period. An example of an article about a business that is written correctly may be found here
  .

• If your article says someone is the man/is cool/is hot/has way more girlfriends than another guy/has scored 110 points in a basketball game/has scored 350 goals in one football (soccer) season/will be doing any of the above/anything similar to the above, I will nominate it for deletion. Why? because he's not/he doesn't/he hasn't/he won't and he never will.

The Woman/The hottie

• If your article says someone is the woman/is cool/is hot/has way more boyfriends than another girl/has scored 110 points in a basketball game/has scored 350 goals in one football (soccer) season/will be doing any of the above/anything similar to the above, I will nominate it for deletion. Why? because she's not/she doesn't/she hasn't/she won't and she never will.

she/he/it sucks

• If your article disparages/attacks/makes fun of/unfavorably compares someone to someone else, I will nominate it for deletion. The only exception to this is if all the statements are
  reliable sources
  .

nobodies

• If your article does not make any assertion of nobility for the subject and/or a Google search turns up little or no results on the subject, I most likely will nominate it for deletion. For this one, I leave some leeway in certain cases, but most of the time, I will nominate it for deletion according to the notability guidelines

  .

other

• If your article does not fit any of the above, I probably nominated it in accordance to one of the other criteria listed at
  this page
  .

Still wondering?

If you think your article does not fit in with any of the criteria, please contact me about it on

long-time user

• If you come to me and explain that you have been writing hundreds of articles for a long period of time in another account and none of them have been deleted, I will not believe you. If what you are saying is true, you would contact me using said other account so you can demonstrate that what you are saying is true by allowing me to peruse your contributions.

attack

If you attack me for nominating your article for deletion, I will not be very inclined to help you. I think this goes pretty much without saying. Also, even if you are correct that my tagging was not appropriate, comments like this are a violation of
