Your article The New Zealand Week is obviously 'work in progress'. It's already sitting in the mainspace, though, and due to its incomplete state, it's no surprise that somebody has tagged it for deletion. You should consider creating articles in your userspace first, and move them into the mainspace when they are 'ready'. If you don't know what I mean by that, or don't know how to go about it, reply by leaving a message here and I'll give you a hand. Schwede66 21:10, 10 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hello. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment.

Unless you are able to provide references from reliable, independent sources showing that it meets the notability guidelines, I do not think that I can place the deleted article in your userspace.

However, as the closing admin for the AfD, I did not do a search for sources (it's not my job when closing AfDs - my job is to look at the consensus of the editors who commented on the AfD and act upon that). I will look at the deleted article and the AfD discussion, and see what the article was like, the comments made, and if I can find some reliable sources about it. I will contact you one way or another tomorrow evening (UTC) or Tuesday morning - depending on my commitments in the Real World!

Incidently, going by your comments at the AfD, I do not think that The New Zealand Week will have coverage at independent, reliable sources - you don't appear to think that other news organisations would cover the NZW, and so it would not meet the guidelines for inclusion. However, I will look at it in more detail, as detailed above. -- PhantomSteve/talk|contribs\ 22:44, 21 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Having looked at the deleted article, and having searched for reliable sources of information, I am afraid that I am going to have to decline your rquest to have a copy put in your user space. I cannot find independent, reliable sources which show that The New Zealand Week comes under the notability guidelines for inclusion.

If you manage to find some reliable sources, please feel free to leave me a message on my talk page. If there are some (there don't appear to be now, but there might be in the future), I would be quite willing to userfy the deleted article, and to help get it ready for inclusion. If you have any other questions, please feel free to contact me. -- PhantomSteve/talk|contribs\ 11:37, 23 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
