Speedy deletion nomination of Earnock Nature Trail


Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on Earnock Nature Trail requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, images, a rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. 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. &#124; Uncle Milty  &#124;  talk  &#124;  21:14, 23 March 2013 (UTC)

March 2013
Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Earnock Nature Trail has been reverted. Your edit here to Earnock Nature Trail was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (http://www.facebook.com/#!/groups/neilslandandearnock) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 21:29, 23 March 2013 (UTC)

Two points (OK, three...)
One, we prefer that people get articles to a viable state before they launch them into article space. Best to get it going in user space first. Two, your user name doesn't comply with our policy WP:USERNAME because it appears to represent an organisation. Accounts on Wikipedia are for individuals only, and names like this can get blocked without warning. (If, as is usual, people with names like this are plugging their own business (or someone else's), I do block them.) I'd suggest you get a name change to something more neutral. This can be done at WP:CHU (scroll down to Simple). While we're at it, I'll refer you to WP:GNG (general notability) and WP:RS (reliable independent sources - needed to prove the notability). Get those right and you needn't worry about deletions. Peridon (talk) 22:02, 23 March 2013 (UTC)
