Speedy deletion nomination of Ilovethebeach.com

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 Ilovethebeach.com requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. 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 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 Misplaced Pages'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. reddogsix (talk) 04:52, 31 October 2011 (UTC)

Re your message: You are welcome to recreate the article if you can provide the necessary citations to reliable sources covering the website. You need to show that the site meets the notability guideline for websites or the general notability guidelines. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 05:24, 31 October 2011 (UTC)

Re your message: You left me a message while logged out, but I responded here. To properly format the article, I suggest that you review Misplaced Pages's guide to writing your first article. You can also use an existing Misplaced Pages article about a similar website as a template to build a new article (see Category:Erotica and pornography websites for a listing of similar sites). As for the inclusion of potentially explicit images, while Misplaced Pages is not censored, the use of explicit images should be used if and only if their omission would cause the article to be less informative, relevant, or accurate, and no equally suitable alternatives are available (see Misplaced Pages:Offensive material and Misplaced Pages:Pornography for additional details). -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 18:44, 31 October 2011 (UTC)

Re your message: I have restored the article into your user space at User:Paulmcanders/Ilovethebeach.com so that you can work on the article. You can move the page into main space once you have finished the article.

As for your question about the use files in articles, Misplaced Pages has an extensive help document about how to upload and use files at Help:Contents/Images and media. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 22:47, 2 November 2011 (UTC)

License tagging for File:Ilovethebeach.jpg

Thanks for uploading File:Ilovethebeach.jpg. You don't seem to have indicated the license status of the image. Misplaced Pages uses a set of image copyright tags to indicate this information.

To add a tag to the image, select the appropriate tag from this list, click on this link, then click "Edit this page" and add the tag to the image's description. If there doesn't seem to be a suitable tag, the image is probably not appropriate for use on Misplaced Pages. For help in choosing the correct tag, or for any other questions, leave a message on Misplaced Pages:Media copyright questions. Thank you for your cooperation. --ImageTaggingBot (talk) 18:07, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

Ilovethebeach.com

Re your message: As the article stands now, it would not meet the notability requirements for websites as it does not include any references to third-party sources. All of the references you have included are from the site itself or trivial (robtex.com). You need to locate news articles about the site for it to be notable. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 22:04, 8 November 2011 (UTC)

Godo Dodo I have made serveral changes to my page please tell me if it is ready to move it to the main page.Paulmcanders (talk) 18:23, 9 November 2011 (UTC)

No, I don't think it is ready yet. Your addition of the statistics about visitor traffic does not establish the site's notability. In fact, you should remove everything but the first paragraph in the article as the remaining paragraphs are trivia and not encyclopedic material. What you need to find to establish the site's notability are articles by major news organizations about the site. For example, have any newspapers, magazines, or other websites (but not traffic statistics or domain information sites) written about it? Awhile back, you said that the site gained some notoriety because of a connection with Victoria Beckham. Having articles about that incident may establish the site's notability. If you look at the article for Mr. Skin, you will see what I mean by newspaper articles as it has references to the articles from the Chicago Tribune, Reuters, and The New York Times. If you can find similar articles for this website, that that is what establishes notability, not visitor and domain information.

On a side note, if you need more feedback or have another question, please leave me another note on my talk page so that I will notice. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 23:41, 9 November 2011 (UTC)
