Speedy deletion nomination of The Dead game

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice that The Dead game, a page that you created, has been tagged for deletion. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

It is unambiguous vandalism or an obvious hoax. (See section G3 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please do not introduce inappropriate pages to Wikipedia; doing so is not in accordance with our policies. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox.
It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. (See section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

I have declined the speedy deletion, because the article is not vandalism, and it is not about a real person or any of the other things listed. I see that in the article's talk page you wrote "all I did was describe the book I didn't put anything bad in it", but the problem was that the article didn't say it was about a book. I expect that TBrandley saw that it started saying "Is about a girl named Linnie..." and so he thought it was about a real girl. Then he read more, and saw stuff that probably didn't happen to a real girl, and so he thought it was lies, so he decided it was vandalism. When you write an article, the first thing you should do is make it clear what you are writing about. If you are writing about a book then say that you are writing about a book. I have done that for you. I'm afraid the article may still be deleted, because it doesn't show that the book is "notable" enough to be the subject of a Wikipedia article. That means that it doesn't show that people have taken enough notice about it to write about it in other places. You need to show where other people have written about the book by giving references. I have put a couple of references in the article, but I don't think they are enough, so it is quite likely that it will still be deleted. However, it won't be deleted right now, as it might have been with the speedy deletion. You will have at least a week to try to make it better so that it isn't deleted. I have no more time now, but I will try to remember to come back tomorrow and give you more help. If I forget to do that, please write a note on my talk page to remind me.

Ways to improve The Dead game

Hi, I'm Salimfadhley. CHARA101SU, thanks for creating The Dead game!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. We need reliable secondary sources. All of the sources appear to be listings or user-contributed content, neither of which are suitable for Wikipedia.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.
