Welcome!

Hello,, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for page creation, and may soon be deleted.

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 New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type   on this page, 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 Where to ask a question or ask me on. Again, welcome! Marasmusine (talk) 19:50, 24 December 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Thompsonblack


A tag has been placed on Thompsonblack requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, 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. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's 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 confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. 99.155.206.57 (talk) 17:10, 28 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi Fellowmonday, sorry I wasn't able to respond earlier. Yes, it looks like I deleted Thompsonblack a few days ago, and another admin deleted it again today. The reason was that it was an article for an organization/group that did not present an indication of importance. If Thompsonblack has received coverage (reviews, interviews, etc) from reliable publications, or has won awards of some kind, that would be enough to avoid a speedy deletion. If you have some sources like this, you can start writing a draft of the article in your userspace (say, at User:Fellowmonday/Thompsonblack) without worrying about it being deleted. I'd be happy to provide constructive criticism or other assistance should you need it! Marasmusine (talk) 21:41, 28 December 2009 (UTC)
