Welcome!

Hello, Harrison.anu, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay.

Speedy deletion nomination of Difference between ferrous metal and non-ferrous metal


A tag has been placed on Difference between ferrous metal and non-ferrous metal, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to have no meaningful content or history, and the text is unsalvageably incoherent. If the page you created was a test, please use the sandbox for any other experiments you would like to do. Feel free to leave a message on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

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; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

 * Hi. Your article wasn't nonsense, but I have deleted it because:
 * it duplicated material we already have at Metal and articles linked from there,
 * it didn't cite any source, and one of Wikipedia's fundamental principles is WP:Verifiability: "whether readers can check that material in Wikipedia has already been published by a reliable source, not whether editors think it is true."
 * most seriously, some of it was actually wrong, and checking with a reliable source would have shown you that. You wrote: "Non-ferrous metal are lighter in weight than ferrous metal." Some are, like aluminium, but what about lead? and gold?
 * Don't be discouraged, but read WP:Your first article. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 15:25, 15 December 2010 (UTC)
