 * Please do not remove the deletion notices from articles. If you contest a speedy deletion, put a  tag on the article and explain why the article should not be deleted on the talk page.  Thanks,  --Hansnesse 07:16, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the note. The above method (inserting a hangon tag below the speedy tag) is the appropriate method for contesting speedy deletion.  Removing the deletion notice itself might be taken as vandalism.  Once the notice is placed on an article, it should stay until an admin removes it.  If the article is about yourself, you may want to consider creating it on you user page.  Articles in the main article space need to be about people in the public eye (see the WP:BIO policy for details).  Thanks for the interest in Wikipedia, --Hansnesse 07:32, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

Hmm, reading your messages on my talk page and the Talk:Alexander Keda page, I feel like we may be off on the wrong foot. Having an article nominated for speedy deletion right away is a rough way to start as a wikipedian. The nomination for deletion was according to WP:BIO and WP:BLP policies, which reflect the consensus of Wikipedia. The reason we generally do not create articles about people who don't meet those standards is three-fold
 * (i) Such people are hard to locate information about, and everything in wikipedia should be verifiable.
 * (ii) Such pages need to be maintained by users with finite time to copyedit, revise, keep pages from being vandalized, verify information, etc.. Almost never is a page edited by only one person, so limiting the number of pages is important
 * (iii) Allowing people to create articles about anyone usually results in articles created about themselves. This really should be done on userpages.  Your userpage is User:Kaosth30ry, which you are welcome and encouraged to edit.

I hope this clears up any misunderstandings, and I hope you stick around and continue to help out. The links in the welcome message at the top are good ones which may be helpful. Feel free to write a note on my talk page if you have any other questions. --Hansnesse 08:01, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
