User talk:Flashpoint50

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from a page you have created yourself. If you do not believe the page should be deleted, you can place a tag on the page, under the existing speedy deletion tag (please do not remove the speedy deletion tag), and make your case on the page's talk page. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you. Hairhorn (talk) 18:23, 26 September 2010 (UTC)

Hello, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia! I noticed that you recently added commentary to an article, Xiosis Scribe. While Wikipedia welcomes editors' opinions on an article and how it could be changed, these comments are more appropriate for the article's accompanying talk page. If you post your comments there, other editors working on the same article will notice and respond to them and your comments will not disrupt the flow of the article. However, keep in mind that even on the talk page of an article, you should limit your discussion to improving the article. Article talk pages are not the place to discuss opinions of the subject of articles nor are such pages a forum. Thank you. Usb10 Connected? 18:45, 26 September 2010 (UTC)

Hello, Flashpoint50, 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 may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may soon be deleted.

Deletion
Basically, the articles don't really show notability sufficient to fit our rules - and don't have any independent reliable references anyway. See WP:RS for more info. Peridon (talk) 18:50, 26 September 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Xiosis Scribe
Thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test worked, and the page that you created has been or soon will be deleted. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Xiosis Scribe
I have seen the comment you posted at Xiosis Scribe. I see that you are quite right in saying that you did not create the article: clearly that was a mistake. The article was not the right place to post a query about this, and it has been deleted, but I am copying your comment below. Probably the talk page of the deleting administrator (DGG) would have been the best place to have asked your question.
 * Hi, I was in the process of trying add information to this page and change it's content when it was deleted. It sent me a message saying I was the person who created it, but actually, I didn't create it and was just trying to modify it. I'm not sure exactly what kind of content it needs to not be deleted, but any help would be much appreciated. Thanks. User:Flashpoint50 (talk) 18:39, 26 September 2010 (UTC)
 * The article was written as though it was intended to publicise or promote its subject, which is the reason why it was deleted. Wikipedia is not a medium for promotion. However, even if it were rewritten in a non-promotional way, the article would be very likely to be deleted unless it showed notability of its subject. You may like to look at the guidelines on notability and reliable sources to see what is required. And remember, no amount of rewriting will make a non-notable subject notable, so make sure you decide whether or not the subject satisfies Wikipedia's notability standards before deciding whether or not to spend time on a new article: otherwise you may find your efforts wasted.
