Speedy deletion nomination of Adelino Godinho Fernandes


A tag has been placed on Adelino Godinho Fernandes requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's 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 confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. &mdash; 138.88.125.101 (talk) 20:32, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

Your edits made on November 5, 2009 (UTC) to List of Mensans
Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, adding content without citing a reliable source, as you did to List of Mensans, is not consistent with our policy of verifiability. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia. If you are familiar with Citing sources, please take this opportunity to add references to the article. 138.88.125.101 (talk) 20:43, 5 November 2009 (UTC)

Notability & autobiographies
Hello, …

Since you are new to Wikipedia, you probably were not aware of Autobiography and Conflict of interest … you should also familiarize yourself with Wikipedia:General notability guideline, Notability (people), and Biographies of living persons.

If you insist on trying to create an article about yourself, do it in a sandbox, e.g., User:Godfer/Adelino Godinho Fernandes, like this user did. :-)

Happy Editing! &mdash;  20:53, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
