Speedy deletion nomination of The child madison
Thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test worked, and the page that you created has been or soon will be deleted. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

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 hangon 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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

some advice
I'm sorry, but as reviewing administrator, I had to delete the article, for it is not really suitable for an encyclopedia. An encyclopedia doesn't publish personal experiences or original fiction. It publishes informative articles about people and things that are already notable--that people already know about and write about in other publications. But I don't want to discourage you, there are lots of other things you can do here. (this is not an automated message, I'm writing this personally).  DGG ( talk ) 15:28, 29 July 2010 (UTC)
