Speedy deletion of Michael Stiple
Thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test worked, and the page that you created has been or soon will be deleted. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (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 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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. 99.184.128.247 (talk) 20:28, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Michael Stiple
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Michael Stiple, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process&#32; because of the following concern:
 * there is a source for this, but not reliable, and a better source places it earlier - see talk.

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.

Not a test, but still not suitable
Hi. I have checked up, and I realise that your page wasn't just a test page. Unfortunately, Wikipedia articles need to be verifiable from reliable sources, and though I found a source for your statement in Wikianswers, that is not a reliable source because anyone can post there, and it doesn't say what its source for the information is. Then I looked in Wikipedia's own article Plus and minus signs, and that gives a link to a site Earliest Uses of Symbols of Operation which shows an image of plus and minus signs in print in a book of 1526 - earlier than the date given for Michael Stiple. Don't be discouraged; have a look at the links from the Welcome paragraph for advice about contributing, and at the guide to writing Your First Article.
