Your contributed article, Jomo Kenyatta: First President of Kenya


Hello, I notice that you recently created a new page, Jomo Kenyatta: First President of Kenya. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page - Jomo Kenyatta. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Jomo Kenyatta - you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think that the article you created should remain separate, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Wildthing61476 (talk) 20:52, 23 May 2011 (UTC)

 * You have chosen the wrong place to host your school essay, since Wikipedia is not a hosting service. If it's too late for you to seek different place, I might tolerate you adding it to your user subpage (such as User:Carterhpayne/Jomo Kenyatta: First President of Kenya) for a while; next time, please use any of the many free web hosts. (If you specifically need a wiki site, there are various wiki farms on the Internet.) - Mike Rosoft (talk) 17:42, 24 May 2011 (UTC)
