Speedy deletion of Resource Collection - Information Retrieval
A tag has been placed on Resource Collection - Information Retrieval 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 notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance 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 a copy be emailed to you. Excirial ( Talk, Contribs ) 09:29, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

Welcome
Welcome to Wikipedia. To find out how to make useful contributions, take a look at the welcome page. To stay in Wikipedia, an article has to be about something notable, that is, of general interest. Click on Notability for an explanation of what that means. Also, it must give independently verifiable sources. Articles that don't meet these requirements are likely to be deleted. Follow the links below to learn more: JohnCD (talk) 09:34, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
 * To find out more about creating articles, read the Introduction and the Guide to creating your first article.
 * You should not write articles about yourself, your band, or your best friend - that's a conflict of interest.
 * Wikipedia is an encyclopedia; it is not a web-space provider or a manual, guide or textbook.
 * For experiments, please use the sandbox.

Proposed deletion of Resource Collection - Machine Learning
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Resource Collection - Machine Learning, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Don't be discouraged
Thanks for blanking your two articles - I have tagged them "author requests deletion" and they will be gone shortly. Wikipedia is good at encouraging everyone to contribute, less good at explaining what the standards for articles are. Please don't be discouraged from contributing - follow the links from the Welcome paragraph above for advice. The (rather long) list of What Wikipedia is not is worth reading, and the guide to writing Your First Article is helpful. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 10:12, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
