Philly shrug article
Hello, thanks for writing this. Unfortunately, only one of the sources you've added is to a reliable source, the philly.com source.

Are there other reliable sources on this topic you can add? The article may get deleted otherwise.

Let me know if you have any questions. Blythwood (talk) 22:10, 23 February 2016 (UTC)

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. I see you just blanked the page, with the comment "please delete article. It was my first try".

Firstly, blanking a page is not the way to request deletion. We have processes for getting pages deleted – please familiarise yourself with WP:Deletion policy and WP:Criteria for speedy deletion.

Secondly, why are you asking for the page to be deleted, anyway? That somebody has raised issues with it isn't a good reason. Nobody's first Wikipedia article is perfect; as such, your first article shouldn't be anything to be ashamed of. Learn from your mistakes, rather than burying them. Your skill at writing articles will get better with practice. — Smjg (talk) 22:40, 23 February 2016 (UTC)
 * I want to emphasise this too! This sounds like it might be a good topic for an article - you just need to add more reliable sources on the topic. Blythwood (talk) 22:42, 23 February 2016 (UTC)
