Speedy deletion of Adrian DeCastro
A tag has been placed on Adrian DeCastro, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as FAQ/Business for more information.

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 article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Omarcheeseboro (talk) 00:37, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

Error
The way you initially responded the speedy deletion tag was perfectly legitimate - rewriting the article and adding the hangon tag. The wikipedia user who reverted it and added the above notice to this page has been notified that he made a mistake. Anyway, good luck with your article. I would recommend reading about notability. --Omarcheeseboro (talk) 00:48, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

Good day Omarcheeseboro et.al wiki admins! I'm new to the wonderful world of wikipedia. I recently ran into some "trouble" with my first ever page entry re: "Adrian DeCastro". Any help of advice on this matter and how to remove those tags placed by you would be greatly appreciated. I've already edited the content and to the best of my knowledge it fits wiki criteria. I’m however open to any additional feedback and/or suggestions. Thanks. --Gbjorn (talk) 01:41, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
 * See WP:BIO. The article is way too short and doesn't assert notability (see WP:N). Ten Pound Hammer  and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 01:43, 5 December 2008 (UTC)

As per TenPoundHammer admin's recommendations I've expanded the content of this article trying not to violate any wiki criteria. Thanks so much.) --Gbjorn (talk) 02:22, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
