This page is intended to examine your understanding of the speedy deletion criteria. Please answer the questions below in your own words (i.e. don't copy and paste sections of the relevent policies).
1. Describe what sort of pages could be deleted under A7.
A. The pages which mention about a person or a musical band or an animal or an event or a singer or a musician or a company or a website or an organisation; who has no special importance or, who do not have the sufficient notability (which includes the remarkable deeds, features, performance or actions) to be on wikipedia.In simple words : those pages who do not have outstanding worth or observable worth which is verified by third party resources ( minimum 2), if not then secondary resources (more than 3 or 4) atleast and not by primary resources.
2. A7 is concerned with
notability - what makes a subject notable enough for inclusion?
A. The subject/object mentioned on the page under inspection; should have been published/reviewed/acknowlegded/recognized for its extraordinary feature or remark received.
3. What would constitute a claim to notability (give one or two hypothetical examples)? Is notability necessary to avoid an A7 tag?
rec
A.For example when a new species of fish or a new planet is found it has the worth and notability both. A singer/band/ musician/ makes it to the top 10 charts or worldwide reknowed charts (eg: billabong, beatport, Mtv)it has notability. A film/documentary receiving international awards appreciation and critics. An Organisation/ website which has a gigantic amount of hits ( eg: Game of Thrones the tv serial on HBO ((my fav)) in google and also semi-reliable sources like Alexa mentions about it.
4. What sort of pages should not be tagged with A7?
A. The pages before being tagged should be first googled about, to check, in case there is already a similar kind of article on wikipedia, also to control and check the notability. When the results show some considerable notability and it should not be tagged under A7. Nextly those pages which are qualifying to the other General (G1,2,3...) or Articles ( A1,2,3...) and similarly User, Redirects,Categories and Files should not be tagged with A7.

5. Describe the requirements for a page to be deleted under G11.
A. When the language used it already having the adjectives and flashy words used to exaggerate the performance or features of a subject/object are ought to be nominated and deleted under G11. Also when the page has boosting, intensified and boasted deeds which can or in a second bias the mind of a normal reader on wikipedia should be deleted. The language should be ( most importantly) neutral and not partially biased .
6. When is it inappropriate to tag a page about a company or product with G11?
A. It is inappropriate to tag it when language is written from a neutral point of view and there are sufficient third party sources mentioning the notability and worthiness of the product or the company. Ex: A company receiving a TÜV award, or first to patent and copyright a particular product or having developed a new registered or trademark will possess sufficient notability. Provided the language is neutral the page does not fall under category G11.
7. What is the minimum level of context required to avoid deletion under A1?
A. When the context mentions about the subject/object being significant for a particular feature/property which makes it unique or at least distinguishable.
8. What is the minimum amount of content to avoid deletion under A3?
A. The minimum amount of content should include in 1 or 2 sentences the short description of what the page mentions about.
9. What is the difference between A1 and A3?
A. Context and Content.
Content includes those pages which for example have: the infobox (like almost every other article) just like when you open a thesis or a dissertation there is a page of contents which indicates how the article jumps or flows from one topic to another .
Context includes the connection or the meaning of the words following in a sentence. For example mentioning about a theme in header or a footer in will make it CONTEXTUAL.
10. What constitutes an unambiguous copyright violation?
A. The copyvio includes copying and pasting the material from web/websites/blogs/books/literature Directly and exactly into the wikipedia articles and pages without having any permission from the publisher or the auther/webpage. Its the usage of privately published material without the proper permission or using rights. Wikipedia will allow the quoting and refering of material but not the direct copy pasting.Strict actions follow when the user commits the copyvio violations.
mentioning the websites or web pages ( in wiki language primary or self published ) source will also be included in unamigous copyright violations.
11. Can content from other Wikipedia pages be copied into a new article? If so, under what circumstances?
A. Yes. It is possible to copy content from one article to another but it is expected to provide the original link or the source where the material actually belongs. It may also be useful to know the functions like merge and purge in order to distinguish if the copying and linking is worth it for a new article space or a stub expansion could be possible.
{{
copied}}
template is the best way to provide attribution.12. What is
vandalism? How can you tell vandalism from good-faith edits?
A. the acts or edits or intentional attempts to change, recreate or insert unwanted and stupid content which has no connection with the subject / object to the article can be considered as vandalism.
Good faith edits and vandalism could be differentiated by comparing the versions or starting a discussion on the talk page of the article for the opinions of others.
13. How would you decide whether a new article is a blatant hoax or not?
A. One can use the google tool for a short and brief research which is useful most of the times just to nominate the article for hoaxing. For the qulification of an article as an hoax a time consuming process follows.first step will be taging and one should always discuss it with other administrators/users in the community and tag the article atleast so that there can be an active discussion on the article.
14. How can you tell whether an article has been previously deleted?
A. The talk page and the revision history of the particular deleted article will show the previous attempts about the article or why the article was deleted. Its one of the ways I use. Apart from that whenever I tag the article it appears in the watchlist and one gets regular updates of the further editing attempts or tagging on the article.
15. If an article has been deleted via {{
BLPPROD}}
, can a recreation be tagged with G4?
A. I do not know the answer( lack of wikiknowledge) but still I would like to answer the question .
No! it cannot be tagged.
16. How can you establish whether a recreated article is sufficiently similar to a previously deleted version?
A. I do not have any idea! ( lack of wikiknowledge) but still I would like to answer the question .
by relating the categories.
17. What constitutes an attack page?
A. An attack page will include negative propaganda, harassment of personal image for a living person. Until and unless there are references to verify it it will be considered as an attack page.
18. If a page describes its subject as a "well-known criminal", does it count as an attack page? Under what circumstances would you not tag it with G10?
A. it will not be tagged under G10 if the page about the well-known criminal has reliable and verifiable third party resources. They can be newspapers or online news articles.
19. G10 exists because of the
biographies of living persons policy. Briefly summarise your understanding of this policy.
A. This policy deals with articles on wikipedia which include material or info about the living persons. Any information related to living persons on wiki will be and should be written with extreme care with respect to the tone and unbiased opinions. The sources and reference should be quoted where ever necessary or else there can be a conflict beginning on the talk page which will result in long un ending , time wasting debates. Hence, in case there occurs such an attack then first attempt will be to change the tone to neutral and if its not working then G10 is the next step.
20. Which types of tags (G, A, R, F, C, U, T or P) can be applied to the following types of page? List all that apply.
