User talk:Emmapearsonn

Welcome!
Hello, Emmapearsonn, 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 Willie &, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may not be retained.

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the Tea House, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type help me on this page, followed by your question, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Questions or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! — This lousy T-shirt — (talk) 20:35, 12 February 2014 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Willie "The Whip" Siniscalchi


A tag has been placed on Willie "The Whip" Siniscalchi, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
 * It is an "attack page", and appears to be primarily intended to disparage or threaten its subject. This includes biographies of living people that are unsourced and entirely negative in tone. (See section G10 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please do not make statements attacking people or groups of people. Wikipedia has a strict policy against personal attacks; attack pages and images are not tolerated by Wikipedia and are speedily deleted. Users who continue to create or repost such pages and images will be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
 * It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, 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. (See section A7 of 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 this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to 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. — This lousy T-shirt — (talk) 20:35, 12 February 2014 (UTC)

Message from deleting administrator
You wrote on the talk page: "my Global Perspectives teacher asked me to create a Wikipedia page for his other classes to look up, as a joke. The page will be deleted by next week." No, it will be deleted at once, 11 minutes after you posted it, having been tagged for deletion after only a minute, because of the important policy Biographies of living persons, which includes: "'Contentious material about living persons... that is unsourced or poorly sourced – whether the material is negative, positive, neutral, or just questionable – should be removed immediately and without waiting for discussion.'" and the equally important policy Verifiability: "'any material challenged or likely to be challenged must be attributed to a reliable, published source'" Please show this message to your teacher, and explain that Wikipedia is a serious project to build an encyclopedia, and not a place for jokes or experiments like this.

The links in the Welcome message above will tell you more about Wikipedia. I hope you will read them and maybe become a contributor. You have already learned something about Wikipedia - that "anyone can edit" does not mean "anyone can put in anything they like", and that contributions are patrolled by volunteers who care about the quality of the content. So your educational assignment has had some benefit. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 21:02, 12 February 2014 (UTC)
