User talk:Collinxdonovan

Welcome!

Hello,, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for page creation, and may soon be deleted (if it hasn't already).

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type   on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Where to ask a question or ask me on. Again, welcome! Sketchmoose (talk) 18:32, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Collin Donovan
A tag has been placed on Collin Donovan requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

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 they userfy the article or have a copy emailed to you.

 * The article's primary claim to notability is that the subject played in 11 games in major league baseball. I doubt that this qualifies as a notable career.  I suggest you seek assistance at WikiProject Baseball. --A More Perfect Onion (talk) 18:15, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
 * It would qualify as notable per WP:ATHLETE if it were true. The problem is that it is not. No such person has ever played in MLB. -Dewelar (talk) 18:37, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

Please do not remove speedy deletion notices from pages you have created yourself. Please use the template on the page instead if you disagree with the deletion. A More Perfect Onion (talk) 18:24, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

Please do not add hoaxes to Wikipedia. Hoaxes are caught and marked for deletion shortly after they are created. If you are interested in how accurate Wikipedia is, a more constructive test method is to try to find inaccurate statements that are already in Wikipedia – and then to correct them if possible. Please don't disrupt Wikipedia in an attempt to test our ability to detect and remove such material. Feel free to take a look at the five pillars of Wikipedia policy to learn more about this project and how you can make a positive impact. Thank you. -Dewelar (talk) 18:37, 2 February 2009 (UTC)

Thin ice
I am glad to see you reverted your own edit at November 13. However, I think it's important to note that you are on really thin ice here, and need to decide if you wish to continue on Wikipedia or not. Please do not add any more links to your name anywhere, to any articles; do not under any circumstances add any hoaxes; and do not even add something that looks like it might be a hoax. Please read your welcome message at the top ofthis page for how to contribute constructively.

I'm afraid that after many warnings spanning many weeks, you are one tiny misstep away from being blocked from editing. Please stay on the straight and narrow; no one wants to see you blocked. --barneca (talk) 20:19, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
