Proposed deletion of Christopher Colwill
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Christopher Colwill, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

AfD nomination of Christopher Colwill
I have nominated Christopher Colwill, an article you created, for deletion. I do not feel that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Articles for deletion/Christopher Colwill. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Beeblbrox (talk) 16:32, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Hi. I just wanted to explain what is happening here, since I can see you are new to Wikipedia. This article does not, in my opinion, meet the criteria for inclusion because the subject of the article is not sufficiently notable. Click here for Wikipedia's general notability guideline. The basic idea is that only things that have already been reported elsewhere are suitable topics for encyclopedic articles. I have found this page the best, most concise guide to what Wikipedia is and how it works, and this page can help you get a new article started. Please don't be discouraged if the article does get deleted, which seems likely now, your contributions are still welcome and I'm sure there's more notable Australian athletes that need their own pages. By the way, your input is welcome at the deletion discussion, click here to see it. Good Luck. Beeblbrox (talk) 18:34, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
