amazing how the views of one person can run off so many people. I would like the speedy deleted to explain how the story on Starbucks is not blantant advertising for Starbucks and why its ok to feed billions to the billionaire but its not ok for a small guy to want to survive. Amazing how Wikipedia lives to its reputation - its not for the world just its few editors who have too much time on their hamd. www.missiongronds.com if nothing else helps homeless kids amd its at leeast good to see where the hearts of wikipedia lives or should we say is dead. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.184.32.45 (talk) 21:21, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Mission Grounds Gourmet Coffee
A tag has been placed on Mission Grounds Gourmet Coffee, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as the Business' FAQ for more information.

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 article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. &mdash; Nova  Dog  &mdash;  ( contribs ) 15:11, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

Use of the Hangon tag
I saw the hangon template on this page, and I wanted to help. You seem to have misunderstood the use of the hangon template. To contest a proposed speedy deletion you add hangon to the page in question (the page that an editor has tagged for speedy deletion), just below the speedy delete tag (which usually has a name that starts with db (for "delete because")). You do not add it to your user talk page below the message informing you that a page has been tagged for speedy deletion, because then people looking at the page tagged for speedy deletion won't see it.

If a page has been deleted before you see the message, or in spite of your use of hangon, you can send a message to the deleting admin on his or her user talk page. If you click on a link to a deleted page you will see the relevant deletion log entries, which will show you the user ID of the admin who did the deletion.
