User talk:Anon99989

Please do not remove speedy deletion tags from articles. If you do not believe the article deserves to be deleted, then please place hangon 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. --TeaDrinker 20:39, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

The above message is a boilerplate (semi-automated) message, so it sounds a bit harsh. First, welcome to Wikipedia. Second, I wanted to let you know the reasons why the article was nominated for deletion. Articles in the main article space have to be about someone famous or otherwise regularly in the news/other published sources (full details are at WP:BIO and WP:BLP). This is so that the information in the article can be verified and checked. If the article is about you, you may use your user page (your user page is User:Anon99989) to describe more about yourself. See User page for policy. If you feel like the person meets the criteria, say briefly why on the talk page. I am adding a welcome message below, since it has some useful links. Feel free to write a note on my talk page if I can help with anything. Thanks again and happy editing. --TeaDrinker 20:45, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
