Welcome!

Hello,, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for page creation, and may soon be deleted (if it hasn't already).

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type   on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Where to ask a question or ask me on. Again, welcome! SimonD (talk) 00:34, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

I'm sorry
I'm really sorry, but I have had to delete the article about your father: I'm sure that he was a great man, and from what I read, you must have been so very proud of him and his accomplishments, and sorry that he died so young. The problem is that we don't aim to have articles about every marvellous person here on Wikipedia. The people who get articles here need to meet the criteria at WP:BIO; if your father did, and if there is independent, reliable sources about him please feel to let me know, and I would be happy to restore the article and help you make comply the article with our policies. Like I said, I am sorry, and I hope that you continue to contribute to Wikipedia. I am sure you that you have a lot of knowledge to impart: based on what you said in your father's article, perhaps I can point you in the direction of WikiProject Medicine which I am sure would benefit tremendously from your input.--Slp1 (talk) 01:44, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
