-Demosthenes- Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 I've moved the Wikipedia article for SFN to the new name "SFN (scienceforums.net)" and added a disambiguation page to differentiate between the different uses of "SFN." More importantly, the article has been nominated for deletion! I do not know the SFN article's fate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ecoli Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 they don't like having wikiarticles devoted to specific websites... I don't think it's personal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Tycho?] Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 Yeah unless this site becomes important or very well known there is no reason to have an article on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donkey Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 '']Yeah unless this site becomes important or very well known there is no reason to have an article on it. I'm not convinced. Sounds like some sort of wiki-snobery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alt_f13 Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 Two reasons: No original research: Original research is a term used on Wikipedia to refer to material added to articles by Wikipedia editors that has not been published already by a reputable source. Verifiability: Articles should contain only material that has been published by reputable sources. I bet if you find articles on the web about SFN (as long as they are reputable... and not yours...) and you cite them, the SFN article will not be deleted. Personally, I think the SFN article reads like a search engine description. It needs some proofreading too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spyman Posted October 10, 2007 Share Posted October 10, 2007 Well, I just found out that the SFN article was deleted this summer. Deletion log: Subject that does not reasonably assert meeting notability criteria for web content. http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=delete&user=Wafulz&page=SFN+%28scienceforums.net%29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
