Speedy deletion of Scouting in West Mercia
A tag has been placed on Scouting in West Mercia requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  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 would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Speedy deletion of Dudley Scout District
A tag has been placed on Dudley Scout District requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, 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, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

You should wait for others to write an article about subjects in which you are personally involved. This applies to articles about you, your achievements, your band, your business, your publications, your website, your relatives, and any other possible conflict of interest.

Creating an article about yourself is strongly discouraged. If you create such an article, it might be listed on articles for deletion. Deletion is not certain, but many feel strongly that you should not start articles about yourself. This is because independent creation encourages independent validation of both significance and verifiability. All edits to articles must conform to No original research, Neutral point of view, and Verifiability.

If you are not "notable" under Wikipedia guidelines, creating an article about yourself may violate the policy that Wikipedia is not a personal webspace provider and would thus qualify for speedy deletion. If your achievements, etc., are verifiable and genuinely notable, and thus suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later. (See Wikipedians with articles.)  Mayalld (talk) 15:04, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

Please do not remove speedy deletion notices from pages you have created yourself. Please use the template on the page instead if you disagree with the deletion. Kim Dent-Brown  (Talk)  15:13, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

B4180
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article B4180, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add  to the top of B4180. JD554 (talk) 15:15, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

Please stop removing speedy deletion notices from pages that you have created yourself. If you continue, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Mayalld (talk) 15:16, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

This is the last warning you will receive for your disruptive edits. The next time you remove a speedy deletion notice from a page, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. JD554 (talk) 15:17, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

Please read you talk page, and the notability criteria.
Hello there, you are creating a lot of articles and wondering why they are being deleted. Keep your eye on this page, and also the notabiloity criteria blue-linked above. There are also several helpful links from the welcome template at the head of this page.

Please do read these things and stop creating articles until you have done so, as you are geting close to a block here. That would be a shame as you obviously want to write genuine articles. Kim Dent-Brown  (Talk)  15:20, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Hi there, when you're new to Wikipedia it can be a daunting place to start writing. There are some really helpful suggestions about drafting, improving and perfecting articles at the blue links shown. Have a look at those, but most of all bear in mind the notability link already mentioned and the need for external sources. This means if something important has happened, or someone fanous has visited, this must have been reported on by a newspaper, an authoritative website (not just your own), a book or whatever. A short item saying "Person X visited location Y" isn't really enough, it needs to be a substantial article.


 * I suspect that an article on one single scout group is going to be hard to source, unless it is historically notable. Even the Oldest Scout Groups do not have individual articles about them. Plerase don't take it amiss if this article is deleted: you may be better off adding to existing articles from the Scouting portal. Will copy this to your talk page in case the article is deleted. Kim Dent-Brown   (Talk)  15:49, 14 January 2008 (UTC)


 * I would like to second what Kim has just said. Up until now, you seem to have been treating it as a battle. Every time somebody has tagged an article for deletion, you have immediately removed the tag, in spite of the clear instructions not to do so. This is futile. You will never beat deletion by removing the tag, because whoever tagged it will be watching the page, and will see what you did. The tag will be returned, and you will get a warning for your actions. You cannot beat the system, and by trying to do so, you have very rapidly arrived at a point where any further breach of the rules will see you banned from editing Wikipedia.
 * I notice that you have now done it the correct way and added a hangon, which is progress. However, I must advise you that all you have achieved here is to delay briefly, and to take up people's time in the process. Individual Scout Groups, are almost invariably NOT notable for the purposes of Wikipedia policy. Mayalld (talk) 15:50, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

AfD nomination of B4180
An editor has nominated B4180, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes ( ~ ).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 23:44, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
