User talk:Asell2015

How does X work?
I'm trying to contest the deletion of a page about a local business based on my recent research. I try to contest the deletion with the message below and am given a message that my protest is also not valid. I am really frustrated and am starting to think that Wikipedia is not really user friendly, but is an "old boys club" that is not friendly to new users at all. Please help.

my protest to deletion: This page is based on historical research into a 112 year old company including information important to the community as well as someone interested in a tale of early telephone in the Midwest. I am keeping this short since I have written it many times today trying to submit this in much more detail. The short version is due to frustration.

but the pink deletion message remains, and my more complete protest siting sources continues to be denied. You deny the page, you deny my protest, all within seconds. Asell2015 (talk) 20:30, 18 September 2015 (UTC)

 * Hi. I've copied your message to Talk:Amherst Telephone Company, which is the proper location to contest deletion of the article. Your message will be reviewed by an administrator before they decide on the deletion of the article. Unfortunately, the pink deletion message will remain until reviewed by an administrator.

Speedy deletion nomination of Amherst Telephone Company


A tag has been placed on Amherst Telephone Company, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. Blackguard 18:48, 18 September 2015 (UTC)
