TurboTools Corporation
Thanks for writing this article. Unfortunately it doesn't conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for new articles. However, please do not be disheartened by what may happen to your first article, if indeed it is deleted. Please continue to edit Wikipedia and add articles which conform with the inclusion criteria. For more help, see Help:Contents and to find out what will probably be deleted, see Criteria for speedy deletion. Thanks, and if you have any questions, please ask them on my user talk page.

 * Please do not remove speedy deletion tags from articles that you have created yourself. If you do not believe the article deserves to be deleted, then please place on the page and make your case on the article's talk page. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the article. Thank you.   —dto 03:19, 9 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Please stop removing speedy deletion notices from articles as it is considered vandalism. You may place hangon on the page and make your case on the article's talk page if you oppose an article's speedy deletion. Thanks.   —dto 03:33, 9 September 2006 (UTC)


 * I'll hold on and see if this article turns into anything worthwhile. However, your behavior so far has not been too impressive. Thanks. —dto 03:36, 9 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Looks like I'm not the only one. An editor has nominated the article TurboTools Corporation for deletion, under the Articles for deletion process. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the nomination (also see What Wikipedia is not and Deletion policy). Your opinions on why the topic of the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome: participate in the discussion by editing Articles for deletion/TurboTools Corporation. Add four tildes like this &tilde;&tilde;&tilde;&tilde; to sign your comments. You can also edit the article TurboTools Corporation during the discussion, but do not remove the "Articles for Deletion" template (the box at the top of the article), this will not end the deletion debate. —dto 04:11, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

Some editing tips
Thanks for your clarifying message at my talk page.

I was, in fact, referring to the two instances when you (apparently inadvertently) removed the speedy deletion notice from TurboTools Corporation. This was probably due to an edit conflict—you started to edit the page, I added the notice, and then your save overwrote my addition of the notice. The reason I added those two warnings to your talk page was because it appeared as though you were trying to sneakily remove the notices so that the article would not be considered for deletion, which is behavior usually exhibited by vandals, not by legitimate users like you.

Regarding the deletion: the article is currently nominated for deletion not because it is short and needs work, but because the article is about a company which some consider not "notable" enough (see WP:CORP) to be featured in this encyclopedia (after all, Wikipedia is an encyclopedia). If you disagree with this rationale for deletion, please keep discussing at Articles for deletion/TurboTools Corporation. And please, please don't take it personally if the article is deleted. It is not a statement about the content of the article or about the author of the article.

Finally, for future reference, I would encourage you to read Help:Starting a new page, especially the section about using user subpages.

Thank you for explaining your actions, and welcome to Wikipedia! Nobody does everything right the first time, so please keep editing and being bold.
