Welcome!

Hello, Gabrielpg, 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, such as Gabriel Poirier-Galarneau, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may soon be deleted.

Speedy deletion nomination of Gabriel Poirier-Galarneau
A tag has been placed on Gabriel Poirier-Galarneau requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies. 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. andy (talk) 08:31, 20 August 2010 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but in this recent edit you removed a speedy deletion tag from Gabriel Poirier-Galarneau, 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. Ranjithsutari (talk) 11:00, 20 August 2010 (UTC)

Please do not remove speedy deletion notices from pages you have created yourself, as you did with this edit to Gabriel Poirier-Galarneau. Please use the template on the page instead if you disagree with the deletion, and make your case on the page's talk page. Thank you. Ranjithsutari (talk) 11:10, 20 August 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi. Don't worry about the two notices just above; blanking your own page is acceptable and is taken as a request to delete it. Even if you are notable as explained above, Wikipedia is not a place to write about yourself, for reasons explained at Autobiography. There is good advice about contributing in the links from the Welcome paragraph above; Your first article is particularly helpful. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 11:45, 20 August 2010 (UTC)
