Speedy deletion nomination of The theif, whom i love


Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on The theif, whom i love requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent 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. Altered Walter (talk) 09:36, 21 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Hi John Paul Sdb, I'm Qwyrxian, and administrator here at Wikipedia. I just deleted the above mentioned article. Please note that Wikipedia is not a place to publish your personal essays (which is what I think that was); we call such things original research, and they're outside of our mission here. We only cover information that has already been discussed in reliable sources. I hope that explains why we had to remove the page. Qwyrxian (talk) 10:23, 21 December 2012 (UTC)

Email response
I got your email, John, and, in fact, it helps clarify things. The problem is, users are expressly forbidden from using Wikipedia for promotional purposes. Wikipedia articles must be on subjects that are already notable]; this usually means that they have already been discussed in multiple, independent [[WP:RS|reliable sources. In other words, Wikipedia documents what is already famous, and cannot be used to try to make something famous. I hope that clarifies our project. You are welcome to keep contributing to Wikipedia if you are interested in building the encyclopedia on notable subjects. If you have any questions, feel free to ask here.
