Speedy deletion nomination of Zelda Chaos[edit]

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Zelda Chaos requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Singularity42 (talk) 13:48, 1 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Wikipedia requires articles to meet notability guidelines in order to not be deleted. The relevant notability for websites is here - Wikipedia:Notability (web) - and basically requires significant coverage in independent reliable sources and/or to have a won a major independent award. Without such coverage articles are liable to be deleted.

Wikipedia has also got criteria where articles may be immediately deleted here - Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion - and this requires websites to have a credible assertion of wider significance or importance, which I am sorry to say the Zelda Chaos article did not have and just being the top resource for Zelda glitches on the web is not sufficient to meet this. This is a lower standard than the notability guideline and an article is likely still to be deleted for not meeting the notability guideline, even if it avoids speedy deletion.

However you are welcome to recreate an article on Zelda Chaos if you can show how it will meet the notability guideline for websites. Davewild (talk) 17:33, 4 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
