I apologize for the belated welcome; although you have been here for six months, I noticed that no-one has yet welcomed you to Wikipedia. Apologies for that oversight; we are glad you are here and we appreciate your contributions.

In particular I wanted to comment on your additions to List of breweries in San Diego County. You added several items to the list, then read the talk page and deleted them all. I felt bad about that, and it stimulated me to clarify the criteria for that list, which had been made very strict by one user despite disagreement by three other users. I decided to re-assert the argument that inclusion on the list requires verifiability but not notability as Wikipedia defines it. And I restored to the list the three breweries for which you had included a reference for verifiability. It's possible that someone may disagree with me about this, so we'll have to wait and see how it works out. But in the meantime I appreciate your additions. BTW if you want to make any changes/improvements in the article Beer in San Diego County, California I would appreciate that as well. --MelanieN (talk) 11:31, 15 September 2013 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Surface Optics Corporation
Hello EditorErin,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Surface Optics Corporation for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=&action=edit&section=new&preload=Template:Hangon_preload&preloadtitle=This+page+should+not+be+speedy+deleted+because...+ contest this deletion], but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.

Creating articles
Hello EditorErin. You have probably noticed that my speedy deletion tag resulted in Surface Optics Corporation being deleted. I placed said tag as you article did not make any claims to significance, and articles that are officially created must comply with all of Wikipedia's guidelines. That being said, the information you have added at Talk:Surface Optics Corporation looks promising. I suggest that you compose an article with this information and go through WP:AFC (articles for creation) as opposed to creating an article outright. Good luck.--SamHolt6 (talk) 16:58, 28 March 2018 (UTC)
