User talk:Ewffloyd

Welcome!

Hello, Ewffloyd, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created is an unreferenced biography of a living person. The Wikipedia community has decided that all biographies of living persons (BLPs) created after 18 March 2010 must have reliable sources, or they can be deleted.

This is not a judgement of the quality or notability of your article. If someone has put a prod blp template on the article (click this link to see what it looks like), you have ten days to add at least one reliable source to the article. Once you have added at least one reliable source to the article, you can remove the template. (To learn more about what is a reliable source, read Reliable sources, and to learn how to cite sources, read Citing sources. Or if you want an easier newcomer's look at citing sources, read Help:External links and references first.)

Going over some of the pages below will help you get a sense of Wikipedia, and knowing about Wikipedia's most important policies will help keep you out of trouble here (click [show] to see the links):

Getting started:

Introduction – a great first look at Wikipedia

Wiki markup – talks about how to make bold and italic text and links

Tutorial – a tutorial on all things Wikipedia

Notability – talks about how to determine whether or not a subject is notable enough for inclusion in Wikipedia

3RR – Wikipedia's three-revert rule, which says you shouldn't revert a single page more than 3 times in 24 hours

Deletion policy and Criteria for speedy deletion – two pages that talk about reasons for deleting an article. The second page talks about special reasons that allow pages to be deleted quickly and without discussion (attack pages, copyright violations, etc.)

Asking questions:

Questions – tells you where to ask questions


 * New contributors' help page – this is a great place to ask for help when you're new to Wikipedia


 * Help desk – a place to ask Wikipedia-related questions

Proposed deletion of Vakhtang oniani
Hello, Ewffloyd. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, Vakhtang oniani, for deletion because it's a biography of a living person that lacks references. If you don't want Vakhtang oniani to be deleted, please add a reference to the article.

If you don't understand this message, you can leave a note on my talk page.

Thanks, Vanjagenije (talk) 14:26, 9 January 2014 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Vakhtang oniani


A tag has been placed on Vakhtang oniani 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 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 "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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. JMHamo (talk) 14:34, 9 January 2014 (UTC)
