Speedy deletion nomination of Painting Practice


A tag has been placed on Painting Practice requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

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. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. andy (talk) 23:24, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

Please do not remove speedy deletion notices from pages you have created yourself, as you did with Painting Practice. Please use the template on the page instead if you disagree with the deletion, and make your case on the page's talk page. Thank you. andy (talk) 23:38, 7 November 2010 (UTC)

Please stop your disruptive editing. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at Painting Practice, you may be blocked from editing. The reverted edit can be found here. Thank you.

Proposed deletion of Joel Collins


The article Joel Collins has been proposed for deletion because under Wikipedia policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners or ask at Help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the prod blp tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can when you are ready to add one. andy (talk) 23:40, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
