Your first article
Hi there. My apologies if the deletion template that I chose seemed a bit aggressive. I should as an editor, assume good faith. Out of context your article looked like a hoax, as there is no such thing as a howling ladybug. Take a look at this part of What Wikipedia is not and that will explain why your article will likely not survive the CSD process. If it is in fact a school mascot, you might consider writing a well sourced article about your school. There you could include information about the school's choice of mascot and the process by which it was created. Cheers. EricSerge (talk) 02:11, 26 September 2011 (UTC)
 * On the other hand, it is inappropriate to introduce the topic in an encyclopedia, don't you think? As EricSerge points out, this kind of thing is better off in an article about your school, not as attempt at humor.  Acroterion   (talk)   02:57, 26 September 2011 (UTC)
