Welcome
Welcome! Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:
 * The Five Pillars of Wikipedia
 * How to edit a page
 * Editing tutorial
 * Picture tutorial
 * How to write a great article
 * Naming conventions
 * Manual of Style

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
 * Respect intellectual property rights - do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
 * Maintain a neutral point of view when editing articles - this is possibly the most important Wikipedia policy.
 * If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
 * Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject. Adding such information or otherwise editing articles maliciously is considered vandalism, doing so will result your account being blocked from editing.

The Wikipedia Tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome! Torchwood Who? (talk) 08:06, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Patrick Snyder
A tag has been placed on Patrick Snyder 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.

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 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.

Notability
Hey Amphibiouskiller, you should read WP:N, it's wikipedia's policy on notability and it explains what is usually required for an uncontested inclusion in the wikipedia project. You mentioned that you have seen other pages which are less "notable", for that I would like to direct you to WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS which will help you to understand why that's not always the best way to contest an article's deletion. I feel bad bringing your first article to speedy deletion and I hope that this doesn't turn you off to the project. We're always looking for good contributors, but there's a learning curve to all of wikipedia's guidelines and policies. New editors usually aren't aware of all the "rules" on the site and make similar first articles and edits. Once again, I hope this doesn't discourage you from editing and if you would like any help to understand the guidelines please just leave me a message on my talk page (just click "talk" next to my signature). --Torchwood Who?
