Welcome!

Hello, Davidsems, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Manfred of Oakville, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may soon be deleted.

Speedy deletion nomination of Manfred of Oakville


Please refrain from introducing inappropriate pages, such as Manfred of Oakville, to Wikipedia. Doing so is not in accordance with our policies. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox.

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; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), 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.

 * OK, the guy may be real but you deserved to have the article deleted. Arrogant good article tag - it is not for you to apply the tag - and the article is far, far removed from good article status. No introductory paragraph ("lede") which tells what he is and why you think he is notable. &#123;{Commons|Manfred}} tag when there is no such article on Commons. But, above all, significant shortage of external links. Feel free to address these points and re-submit via AfC. &mdash; RHaworth 12:34, 11 January 2011 (UTC)
