A tag has been placed on Study Guides and Strategies requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.
If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{
hangon}}
to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on
the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.
For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. LittleOldMe ( talk) 13:40, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

Yes, I am Joe Landsberger. Can also be contacted through my website. I am a little clumsy at wikipedia. If you need more validity about my website, it has a Google ranking of 7 of 10, and 1 on MSN. Josfl ( talk) 02:11, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

I might add that I would have appreciated that you not make accusations "your website, on the other hand, is not notable" and instead request information on notability. Josfl ( talk) 16:08, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
So: how many do you want? How many did Sparknotes and Cliffnotes provide? Did you make the same assumptions for them? My contention is that a not-for-profit resource is judged by different criteria than a commercial one. Josfl ( talk) 16:17, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
I still would like an answer from you for my question since the issue revolves around your objection and criteria. How many do you want? The link did not provide a quantity which would be helpful. Josfl ( talk) 16:28, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

I am not sure what you folks need for an entry. Commercial websites in the same category provide no such "detailed articles" so that probably reflects your bias. The three that I provided are the pinnacle of educational portals, and each highly ranks my website. You are right that have I not cited "articles" but then in what media? Obviously the citations at the top of this exchange are worthless to you. I have long history of being referenced in journals and even newspapers. I could cite these but I think then the target would move again. As regards not taking any action, it appears that my requests for "the next step in resolving this" was not adequate in July, nor ever will be. It leads me to believe that there is another agenda here and that is a shame. How could you ignore academic support centers and school systems around the world referencing my website as a criteria for significance? I think your world is one where there is a digital pre-ordained myopia and I give up. My empowerment will thus continue to be derived from the exponential growth in traffic this year at over 7.5 million visitors--all seeking simple recommendations on how to succeed in studies, without distractions, and very focused on helping them. Also on the many who send email, who translate voluntarily pages for the benefit of their charges, and on and on. You can can rest on your commercial-website orientation that has no such requirement. Josfl ( talk) 17:54, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
Why not compare my site Study Guides and Strategies (SGS) with Cliffnotes, another one of your featured commercial websites? I agree that my traffic is about one tenth or so of SparkNotes. The point here is that you have chosen one commercial site, yet all the other relative sites don't compare with the SGS website. But have you explored SGS prominence in Vietnamese? Arabic? Spanish? I also know that SparkNotes cannot compete with my visibility in Google Search. Try a search on "time management" and see what you find in terms of relative prominence, and find any entry for SparkNotes. It is not a competition for traffic but rather value. However, SparkNotes is only in English, and as a commercial website I doubt has a educational community of volunteer contributors. I would also refer you to Merlot and the entries for SparkNotes and CliffNotes.
