I'm a Wikipedia newbie, and would like to understand the guidelines. I tried to show how Couplets.com was notable, based on media coverage on Couplets.com that appeared in the Guardian and on NBC's "The Today Show." Yet the entry got deleted. I would think articles in major national and international media would be enough to be notable. Why isn't that enough? As for Zana, that entry was deleted seconds seconds after I hit saved, so I honestly thought I had just made a mistake, and didn't save it correctly. I didn't realize someone had deleted the entry within seconds of having saved it. In fact, the Zana entry was deleted before I was able to contest the tagging; the Couplets.com entry was deleted after I tried contesting its deletion, but no reason (that I could see; if there was a note, please let me know) was given why the entry was deleted despite my trying to support the entry.
Bottom-line: I looked at other entries, and tried to model mine on those, so I don't understand why both of my entries were deleted. The information was neutral and factual, and for Couplets.com, included competitors. Thanks in advance for your help. Nbirnbach 20:39, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
- Couples.com was put up for deletion by a bot. If you proveide good enough reasoning to keep it, you will be able to keep it. Tiddly Tom 20:40, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
- I would like to point out that the article was not put up for deletion by a bot. As far as I know, there are no bots (at least not ones I've seen active) that tag articles for speedy deletion. The article was tagged by a user (Contact/Contribs 22:21, 26 July 2007 (UTC)]

- Did you place the 'hangon' tab on the page before it was deleted? Tiddly Tom 20:45, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
Yes, and I added information about the Guardian article and the "Today Show" story, but it got deleted anyway. It's no longer on the site. I could provide external links to the Guardian and "Today Show" stories, but didn't because of concern about including external links.Nbirnbach 20:47, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
- They deffinaly should have been used, as they provided Verifiability for the artical. I can also suggest you contact the people that deleted your artical to ask they why and to get further assisatance. Tiddly Tom 20:49, 26 July 2007 (UTC)]
How do I contact the person who tagged my entries for deletion? By the way, the "What to do" page says not to contact the tagger on their talk page. Again, the article was deleted despite citing articles from The Guardian and the "Today Show."
Apparently, someone deleted the article because "(and the only contributor was 'Nbirnba)." Well, of course I was the only contributor; the article was deleted moments after I posted it. No one else had time to add to it.
- You can do this by looking in the page history. mt 17:28, 2 August 2007 (UTC)]
Again, the article was deleted so quickly, I thought I had made a mistake. How do I get the 3R removed from my talk page? [User:Nbirnbach|Nbirnbach]] 01:24, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
- If you have questions about the deletion, it would do you better to get in contact with the administrator who actually deleted the article, not the user who tagged the article for deletion. In the deletion log it will specify which administrator performed the deletion. I can't seem to find the deletion log entry where you say the only reason is "and the only contributor was Nbirnba". I doubt that was the only deletion reason provided. The software automatically adds that to the end of the administrator's deletion reason if only one person has made edits to the article being deleted. What's important is the part of the reason before that. If you could provide me with a link to the deletion log I should be able to provide more assistance. Again, for specific information on why the article was deleted, contact the administrator listed in the deletion log. Even if they don't remember deleting the article, they have the ability to review the deleted content to refresh their memory.
- As for the 3RR warning, it is considered controversial to remove legitimate warnings from your talk page. You should review the Contact/Contribs 06:29, 27 July 2007 (UTC)]
The article was deleted by Carlossuarez46. You should ask him, why the article was deleted and how you can avoid this.--Thw1309 06:39, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
How can I find out who keeps tagging for deletion the entry for Kim France?Nbirnbach 17:07, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
Is it okay for me to clean up this page by deleting old threads? Nbirnbach 16:00, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
- You can check article history to see who is adding maintenance tags to articles. For your talk page, it's generally preferred to archive old discussions rather than get rid of them completely. Hope this helps! Hersfold (t/a/c) 16:02, 14 August 2007 (UTC)]
