Maybe give an editor more than 6 minutes after creation before nominating for speedy deletion? --Sjgknight (talk) 18:36, 10 March 2015 (UTC)

I haven't finished it yet - I'm still working on it. Mediated Stylistics is a bona fide approach to analysis. It is cited in peer-reviewed articles in the UK and internationally.

I haven't finished it yet - indeed you seem to have marked it for deletion almost as soon as I started writing it. I'm still working on it. Mediated Stylistics is a bona fide approach to analysis. It is cited in peer-reviewed articles in the UK and internationally.

I'm new to Wikipedia, but it does seem a bit much to mark an entry - put together in good faith, and to representation a new and emerging area of academic research in the social sciences and humanities - for deletion within minutes of the site being up and running. How can the people who've judged it as 'deletable' possibly know so soon? I would suggest that there is no expert in the world who could judge so quickly and so confidently. The site is not yet finished, and I am currently adding references, theoretical and philosophical influences, current work, references, and so on. If the article as it will look when finished is potentially available for 'speedy deletion', then I can't see any consistency to the process - plenty of articles that exist on Wikipedia have less detail and rigor than the one I am preparing here.
 * I'm inclined to agree that the tag was added too fast (as per comment above). I think it probably happened because people watch a list of 'new pages' and review as they come up. The problem with creating pages with only a heading (as you did) is that there's no guarantee the page will be fleshed out. Editors deal with a lot of spam, test edits, and (I suspect) creation of blank or nearly blank pages so there's a mass of new-edits to deal with. Obviously that's not what you've now created, but I hope it helps explain that the editors who tagged the article were likely acting in good faith too. To avoid the issue in the future you could create articles with more content to begin (don't click 'save' until some material is in there), or work on them in your WP:SANDBOX. Hope that helps.

Proposed merge with Media stylistics
They are WP:POVFORKS of each other. They cover the same subject. They both need a large dose of BRIMSTONE to eliminate all the original research, personal opinions, and editorializing. Merge. &mdash; Mr. Guye (talk) (contribs) 02:51, 18 May 2017 (UTC)
