A page you created has been nominated for deletion as an attack page, according to section G10 of the criteria for speedy deletion.

Do not create pages that attack, threaten, or disparage their subject or any other entity. Attack pages and files are not tolerated by Wikipedia, and users who create or add such material may be blocked from editing. Tony Fox (arf!) 18:17, 27 June 2022 (UTC)


 * What was wrong? And is there any way I can access the deleted draft? Maurice Sainsbury (talk) 18:34, 27 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Pretty much everything? Wikipedia is not a web host - it's not for hoax articles, articles poking fun at people, etc., as this one was. You can certainly ask the administrator who deleted the article if they would provide the text, but as it was deleted as an attack page I highly doubt it would be provided. I'm going to leave a standard welcome message below with some links to key guidelines - if you wish to assist in building the encyclopedia, those will assist in helping you edit effectively.

Welcome!
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. The following links will help you begin editing on Wikipedia:

Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:
 * Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
 * Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
 * Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
 * No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
 * If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to [ do so].
 * Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
 * Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome! Tony Fox (arf!) 18:47, 27 June 2022 (UTC)
