Articles for deletion nomination of How to classify a plant.
I have nominated How to classify a plant., an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Articles for deletion/How to classify a plant.. 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.Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. Sam Barsoom 01:11, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Classifying plants
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. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

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. -Porchcrop (talk 01:18, 5 October 2009 (UTC)

Hi
Welcome to Wikipedia. I see you've contributed two articles. Unfortunately, these articles violate Wikipedia policies against original research, even though they are clearly well-intentioned. Please don't be disheartened by the articles' eventual deletion, or by the presence of impersonal messages on your talk page (they can certainly be seen as cold and distant). You'd do well to familiarize yourself with Wikipedia policies and guidelines, which can largely be summarized by Wikipedia's five pillars. Much like any website, heck, any group anywhere, you're going to want to be familiar with how things work before trying to insert yourself. It's good practice, and it's something most everyone here went through. You can still be a strong, prolific contributor to the project, and I hope you will. As a word of friendly advice, I'd suggest you not contribute a new article for a short while, until you are more familiar with how Wikipedia works (and doesn't work). It's all for the better in the long run. There are over 3 million existent articles you can help improve though!

Again, welcome, and please continue to contribute to Wikipedia. Alex finds herself awake at night ( Talk ·  What keeps her up ) 04:29, 5 October 2009 (UTC)


 * We really do appreciate intelligent people writing for us, I hope that you don't find our scope too narrow and decide to continue to contribute. Feel free to ask me any questions here or on my talk page. Sam Barsoom 00:28, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Ancient Greek Scientists


The article Ancient Greek Scientists has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Borderline WP:A3. Provides little info, only an external link. Redundant to Category:Ancient Greek scientists in a way.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing  will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
