Speedy deletion of "Book Two"
A page you created, Book Two, has been tagged for deletion, as it meets one or more of the criteria for speedy deletion; specifically, it is about a real person, group of people, band, club, company, organisation, or web content, but does not indicate why its subject is important or significant.

You are welcome to contribute content which complies with our content policies and any applicable inclusion guidelines. However, please do not simply re-create the page with the same content. You may also wish to read our introduction to editing and guide to writing your first article.

Speedy deletion nomination of Link to Book II, second part
A tag has been placed on Link to Book II, second part requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content. You may 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), 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. &mdash; RHaworth 12:16, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

 * Dear Editor, thanks for the tag, that you post here above. I had the opportunity of reading your notice and understand that, first of all, the article, lacks a clear explanation and/or introduction to the subject. Is it correct? Well, if it is, I will work on it, kindly ask you the courtesy of allowing me some days of "hang on", given that I can dedicate only my free time from job to Wikipedia.
 * After that, If you are still dissatisfied with my amendments, please use this talk page to communicate me which further amendements are necessary to comply with Wikipedia standards. Thanks for your attention and Kindest Regards--Francesco Bonini (talk) 08:29, 26 November 2009 (UTC)

Your first mistake was a simple lack of context: was it too difficult for you to start the article with "&hellip; De Oratore by Cicero"? The article strikes me as being ridiculously long and more of a translation than a discussion. If you are providing a straight translation, it should be added to Wikisource. If you want to write a long essay, I suggest you do so on your own website. Link to Book II, second part was the same text on a silly title. I have merged both into User:Francesco Bonini/sandbox. You now have all the time in the world to work on the text. Similarly I have moved Talk:De Oratore Book II to User talk:Francesco Bonini/De Oratore Book II.

What I suggest you do is: raise the matter at talk:De Oratore. Provide links to the articles in your user space; ask if people think they are suitable for Wikipedia and invite someone else to move them into the article namespace. &mdash; RHaworth 09:54, 26 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Dear Editor, Thanks indeed for your prompt and effective reply. Your movings can help me a lot of both to have time enough and ask cooperation for editing by other users. Very smart solution. Indeed the matter is long and I will have to find out solution either to select without losing capital parts; it will take time, but with the help of other people it will be easier.


 * Just a curiosity to tell you: the silly title - I agree with you - "Link to Book II, second part" was generated by the system itself, I do not know how. I tried all means to cancel/amend it, but I failed: could it be possible that there are small bugs in the software that generate pages? Please forward this case to the technical staff, in order to avoid that such episodes happen again. Kind regards.--Francesco Bonini (talk) 11:13, 26 November 2009 (UTC)

Bug in the software indeed!! Near the bottom of this page you will see, in ugly, bold and over-sized text, a Link to Book II, second part. Who created that link? You did of course? You blindly followed the link, it offered you an edit box to create a new article and you created one. A simple, completely forgivable newbie error. Just don't try and blame it on the software! &mdash; RHaworth 13:36, 26 November 2009 (UTC)
