[edit] Temporarily speedy deleted

After noticing that this article had disappeared, and I was unable to find an articles for deletion debate for it, I asked for Wikipedia administrator Will Beback's help. He wrote the following on my talk page:

Tinywords.com was tagged for speedy-deletion by User:Giant onehead on October 1 with this comment:
  • an article about a web site, blog, online forum, webcomic, podcast, or similar web content that does not assert the importance or historical significance of its subject. (CSD A7)
It was deleted by user:MONGO the same day. -Will Beback 05:08, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

After contacting MONGO, they undeleted this article, leaving this message on their talk page:

I restored it...try to make improvements as possible to make it more notable.--MONGO 06:53, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

I've now done a bunch of copyediting that I hope makes clear the importance of the subject of the article. I also moved it from tinywords.com to tinywords to emphasize that it is a publication and not just a website. I hope that those changes are sufficient to prevent any (underserved) speedy deletions (as well as any potential WP:PRODing).

If any editor has an itchy trigger finger and plans to recommend this article for deletion, could they please contact me. BlankVerse 10:08, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Secondary sources?

I notice that this article has been flagged for not having enough sources or citations. I am wondering how to rectify the problem. For instance, there is no secondary source -- in fact, no source other than myself -- for the tinywords circulation figure. Other aspects of the article (eg number of haiku published, authors published by tinywords, years that tinywords has been publishing) can be verified by examining the site or the Internet Archive, so it seems they are not dependent on my say-so.

I would like to fix the problem without running afoul of Wikipedia's guidelines, and welcome any suggestions about how to do so.
