Proposed deletion of Bottlecap shooting
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Bottlecap shooting, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. —Largo Plazo (talk) 00:14, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Bottlecap shooting
A tag has been placed on Bottlecap shooting, 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), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. -- Mufka (u) (t) (c) 00:15, 7 October 2008 (UTC)


 * It's great to come up with ideas for Wikipedia articles, but before you comment on "what Wikipedia is all about", be sure you read What Wikipedia is not, in particular the section WP:NOTHOWTO. There actually are guidelines for the material included on Wikipedia. As far as your "rare information" comment is concerned&#8212;yeah, right! Finally, below I'm placing information for people creating articles on Wikipedia.—Largo Plazo (talk) 01:11, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
