Speedy deletion nomination of Carol clause
A tag has been placed on Carol clause 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. 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.

Hey there
Hi Courtney,

It must have been fun to create your first Wikipedia article, Carol clause. There is much more to a wikipedia entry than just adding text. And if you check your article now, you will find many changes to it!

Since 'Carol clause' referred to a person, I capitalised the surname and made it 'Carol Clause'. Since Carol is a fictional character from a film, I added the words '(film character).

First of all the article must have an opening sentence explaining who or what the article is about. Since your first sentence was not suitable, I added one of my own. Each article must have such an appropriate opening sentence which is called a lead.

Then I added two == (equal to signs) in front and behind your headings so that they became Wikipedia headings!

I also added opening an closing square brackets and  around names or objects which have wikipedia pages after them. These brackets convert that name into a wikilink.

I added some categories at the end; these will help people find more information on similar topics.

Unfortunately Carol Clause, is however fictional and except for being the heroine in two family movies, her role is not notable. So most probably this article will be deleted since she is notnotable.

Anyway, I do hope this post helps you to become a better Wikipedia editor.

Happy editing,
