Penisland

A tag has been placed on Penisland, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because it is an article about a certain website, blog, forum, or other web content that does not assert the importance or significance of that web location. Please read our criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 7 under Articles, as well as notability guidelines for websites. Please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources which verify their content.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on Talk:Penisland. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Thanks.

Please note this article has already been created and deleted three times.[1] Just having an unintentionally amusing URL is not notable enough for an encyclopedic article. Thank you. ~Matticus ^T_C 14:44, 31 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Just on the penisland.net page, you have no idea of the scale of this as a joke in Ireland, it is almost impossible to get through a week of school without someone trying to send you to this website, it happens the country over. I fully realise why you would consider deleting and please go ahead if you feel my reasons aren't valid.

cheers Plokt

The joke is worldwide, and I was already aware of it, but it does not satisfy Wikipedia's guidelines on notable web content so is eligible for deletion. Just having an amusing URL does not make the site notable in its own right, it does not satisfy verifiability requirements, nor can the article say anything more than "this site has a double-entendre URL which many people find funny". Not a good basis for an encyclopedia article, really. ~Matticus ^T_C 15:01, 31 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not blank talk page comments

Welcome to Wikipedia. We invite everyone to contribute constructively to our encyclopedia. However, talk pages are meant to be a record of a discussion; deleting or editing legitimate comments, as you did at User talk:Plokt, is considered bad practice, even if you meant well. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. Thank you. ~Matticus ^T_C 14:48, 31 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Vale Do Lobo

A tag has been placed on Vale Do Lobo requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, 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. ww2censor (talk) 15:27, 25 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
