Speedy deletion of Green mile committee
A tag has been placed on Green mile committee 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 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, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

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. Avruch  T 19:33, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

Hello, regarding your article
Hello - if you like, you can work on your article at User:Green mile committee/sandbox and then, when you have it written and formatted correctly, you can put it back in the main part of the encyclopedia. Thanks, Avruch  T 19:34, 12 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi Green mile committee,
 * I agree with Avruch here, for several reasons. First off, you're new, and doing a few things we don't do around here, and rather than have people bombard you with warnings, it will work a lot easier if you take some time to digest what people are telling you.  Shall I move it to your user space to work on in peace?  Once the heat is off, I've got a few suggestions for you, too. --barneca (talk) 19:41, 12 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Actually, I've gone ahead and moved it for you; it's now in: User:Green mile committee/Green mile project. The page meets our standards for speedy deletion (see WP:CSD), so it was either this, or deleting it outright.  I'll leave some final suggestions for you in a few minutes, then I'll leave you alone. --barneca (talk) 19:53, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

Unsolicited advice

 * 1) Creating an article that stays is much harder than you might think. You need to get a feel for the place first, or you're likely to be disappointed.
 * 2) Please see our criteria for speedily deleting articles that don't assert notability. Your article falls under this criterion, which is why it was deleted.
 * 3) Please also read Notability (organizations and companies), which is our guideline for determining whether groups are notable enough for an article or not. Although no one is going to stop you from writing your article in your user space, I'm afraid you will be wasting your time.  Please read that guideline, and make sure you're confident the article will pass this test once you move it to the article space.

And finally, it's a good idea to acknowledge that people are trying to communicate with you, and reply to their comments, rather than recreate the same article four times without discussion, after having 4-5 different people tell you that it doesn't pass muster. --barneca (talk) 20:05, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
