Speedy deletion nomination of David karl griffith


A tag has been placed on David karl griffith 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.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you.

 * David,
 * I realize that you have no doubt created this page as a lesson to your students about the unreliability of Wikipedia. However, despite your good intentions, it is still a violation of Wikipedia policy to deliberately introduce false information into the encyclopedia.  Continuation of this behavior will get you blocked.  WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 13:21, 28 August 2012 (UTC)


 * Welcome to Wikipedia. I'm sorry, but I've deleted this . However, while appearing to be totally confabulated, it is also amusing enough that you might want to try it on Uncyclopedia.  If the page you created was a test, please use the sandbox for any other experiments you would like to do. You may want to carefully review Your first article.

Do not create, add, or restore hoaxes to Wikipedia, such as you did with the article David karl griffith. 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 would be to try to find inaccurate statements that are already in Wikipedia – and then to correct them if possible. Please do not disrupt Wikipedia. Feel free to take a look at the five pillars of Wikipedia to learn more about this project and how you can contribute constructively. Thank you.
