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.

Or, you can just type   on this 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!

Speedy deletion of "Delbur Wayne Beckley"
A page you created, Delbur Wayne Beckley, has been tagged for deletion, as it meets one or more of the criteria for speedy deletion; specifically, it is about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how they are important or significant, and thus why they should be included in an encyclopedia. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and the guidelines for biographies in particular.

You are welcome to contribute content which complies with our content policies and any applicable inclusion guidelines. However, please do not simply re-create the page with the same content. You may also wish to read our introduction to editing and guide to writing your first article.

Thank you. Falcon8765 (talk) 18:52, 23 November 2009 (UTC)


 * I regret that I had to delete your article, but I am afraid it is not the sort of thing that Wikipedia is for: this is an encyclopedia, not a social-networking site or notice-board, and it only remains a useful encyclopedia by having clear standards about what sort of articles are acceptable. Subjects for articles have to meet the standard explained at Notability (people), and there is a long list of things that Wikipedia is not, which includes Wikipedia is not a memorial site. Please accept my regrets, on behalf of Wikipedia, and my sympathy in your loss. JohnCD (talk) 20:09, 23 November 2009 (UTC)
