Notability of Cecily proctor
A tag has been placed on Cecily proctor requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. JohnCD (talk) 19:41, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

What Wikipedia is and isn't
Hi. I think you have the wrong idea about Wikipedia. What it is: a serious project to create an encyclopedia. What it isn't (among other things): a social-networking site where anyone can post gossip about themselves and their friends. If that's what you are after, try Facebook or Myspace or one of those. If you are interested in making useful contributions here, read the Introduction, the Five Pillars, and the Guide to creating your first article. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 19:41, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
