Speedy deletion nomination of Short tones


Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on Short tones 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.

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. Glaisher  [talk]  09:01, 1 December 2013 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Short tones
Hello Fromdarkness2light,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Short tones for deletion, because it's too short to identify the subject of the article.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Tco03displays (talk) 05:21, 3 December 2013 (UTC)

About Wikipedia...
Hey, Fromdarkness2light! I saw your article, and I'm afraid I decided to delete it. You see, while I understand you want to get the word out about the thing you made, that's just not what Wikipedia is for. Wikipedia strives to be an encyclopedia in the purer sense of the word: we try to be a collection of the current published knowledge of the world. While the electronic format and open nature of Wikipedia allows for a greater number of subjects to be written about, we still need to stick to the knowledge that already exists; Wikipedia is not for creating new knowledge or "spreading the word" about unknown things. We try to cover only subjects that are notable, that have already been covered in reliable sources, so that we can have some kind of assurance that our articles are at least somewhat accurate. So, it's just not the place for the article you're trying to create.

Don't worry too much about it, though! If you'd like to keep trying to contribute to Wikipedia, you're more than welcome; it's just better if you choose another subject, preferably one that you don't have a personal connection to, to avoid conflicts of interest. Mistakes like this happen all the time; nobody will hold it against you if you learn from it. Of course, if you don't want to contribute to Wikipedia in other ways, that's fine too; I understand, and no hard feelings. If you have any questions, feel free to ask me on my talk page, or you can ask the Teahouse, which is a great place for people just starting out on Wikipedia. Happy editing!
