[edit] AfD nomination of Criticism to Fitna
I have nominated Criticism to Fitna, an article you created, for deletion. I do not feel that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Criticism to Fitna. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time. ukexpat (talk) 17:46, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Welcome
Welcome to Wikipedia. To find out how to make useful contributions, take a look at the welcome page. To stay in Wikipedia, an article has to be about something notable, that is, of general interest. Click on Notability for an explanation of what that means. Also, it must give independently verifiable sources. Articles that don't meet these requirements are likely to be deleted. Follow the links below to learn more:
- To find out more about creating articles, read the Introduction and the Guide to creating your first article.
- You should not write articles about yourself, your band, or your best friend - that's a conflict of interest.
- Wikipedia is not an advertising service. Before writing about your own business, read Business' FAQ.
- For experiments, please use the sandbox.

[edit] Regret at voting to delete
It was with regret that I voted "delete" on your article Criticism to Fitna which I thought was extremely sensible and well expressed, and well worth publication in the right forum. Unfortunately, Wikipedia is not that forum: one of its three key content policies is that it publishes No Original Research (the other two are Verifiability and Neutral Point of View). Also, in order to keep to its aim of being an encyclopedia, it has been necessary to list explicitly a lot of things which Wikipedia is not, including Wikipedia is not a soapbox for opinion pieces on current affairs. I hope you will find somewhere to publish your article; I also hope you will stay with Wikipedia and make more contributions - the links in the Welcome paragraph above will help you.
