Speedy deletion of "Adam Westphalen"
A page you created, Adam Westphalen, has been tagged for deletion, as it meets one or more of the criteria for speedy deletion; specifically, it is about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how they are important or significant, and thus why they should be included in an encyclopedia. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and the guidelines for biographies in particular.

You are welcome to contribute content which complies with our content policies and any applicable inclusion guidelines. However, please do not simply re-create the page with the same content. You may also wish to read our introduction to editing and guide to writing your first article.

Dear Adamwestphalen. Also I appreciate your recent contributions to Wikipedia, I have to feeling that there is too much promotional material. Please note that the userpage is not your personal webpage and it should also not look like a Wikipedia entry (see WP:UPNOT for clarification). I hope that you will change the content of your userpage as soon as possible. Best Fabian Hassler (talk) 16:31, 2 August 2010 (UTC)
