User talk:Greenyboy

Howdy, I wanted to (a) welcome you to Wikipedia, and (b) let you know that the article you created, George Greenstreet was deleted. Yeah, probably not the best welcome we could give and for that, I apologize. You are welcome to write about yourself on you user page (given your user name, I assume the article is about you), but articles in the main namespace usually have to be someone famous or notable (the policy is at WP:BIO). This is done for multiple reasons, but primarily for verifiability. Everything in Wikipedia must be verifiable, and such, must have been first published elsewhere. Stuff on your user page, however, does not need to meet such standards. But I do hope you'll staick around and contribute on other articles. Feel free to write a note on my talk page if I can be of any help. I am also putting a welcome message below which has sme useful links. Thanks again,  --Hansnesse 00:26, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Life in Widescreen, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, 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 assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion. To do this, add  on the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag) and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. 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. Pekaje 22:41, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
