Speedy deletion nomination of Sigma Pi Bishop


A tag has been placed on Sigma Pi Bishop 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 specific animal, but it does not credibly 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 read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, 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 from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. GABHello! 21:07, 2 March 2016 (UTC)

Cats
Hi Elias,

There are many places on the internet where you can write about your cat but I'm afraid that Wikipedia is not one of them. We do have a few articles about cats but they are all about notable (i.e. famous) cats that have been covered in books, newspapers and other reliable media. Your story about your own cat is not like that. Maybe you can post it somewhere else instead? Regards, --DanielRigal (talk) 22:07, 2 March 2016 (UTC)

Please refrain from introducing inappropriate pages, such as Elias Bishop, to Wikipedia, as doing so is not in accordance with our policies. For more information about creating articles, you may want to read Your first article; you might also consider using the Article Wizard. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Ethanlu121 (talk) 02:05, 3 March 2016 (UTC)

Let me explain
Hello, Elias! Welcome to Wikipedia. Please let me explain why all your articles keep getting deleted. The problem is, you do not understand what Wikipedia is. This is not a social media site like Facebook, where you can write about yourself and anything that interests you. This is an international encyclopedia. The only articles we have here are about things of general interest, things of importance to the world. We cannot write Wikipedia articles about ourselves or our families or our cats, things that are of importance to us but not to the world at large. If you want to do that kind of writing, I would suggest you use Facebook or start your own blog. If you want to participate here at Wikipedia, I would suggest you start by reading articles of interest to you - and if you find mistakes, grammar or spelling errors, that kind of thing, correct them. That way you will start to learn what Wikipedia is about, and if you enjoy it, become a volunteer Wikipedian like the rest of us who maintain this worldwide source of knowledge. If you have questions or comments, you can put them here; I will see them. --MelanieN (talk) 16:42, 3 March 2016 (UTC)
