Speedy deletion of Southern Resorts
A tag has been placed on Southern Resorts requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a company or corporation, but it 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, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for companies and corporations.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page (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 would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, one or more of the external links you added do not comply with our guidelines for external links and have been removed. Wikipedia is not a collection of links; nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the before reinserting it. Please take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia.

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Since Wikipedia uses nofollow tags, external links do not alter search engine rankings. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. Onorem♠Dil 21:01, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Please do not vandalize pages, as you did with this edit to Bottlenose Dolphin. If you continue to do so, you will be blocked from editing.  Jonathan  21:02, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

This is your last warning. You will be blocked from editing the next time you add inappropriate external links, as you did with this edit to Gulf of Mexico. Farosdaughter (talk) 21:04, 1 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Guys, please bear in mind WP:BITE - the user is obviously new and is seeking help. A personal message instead of a bunch of robotic warnings would have been much more appropriate under these circumstances. Wisdom89 (talk) 21:09, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Re help
Hi there Mermaid Maritza, thank you for your inquiries on my talk page. I'd be more than happy to help you out. The first thing I want you to understand though is, please do not be insulted or take exception to myself, or any other editor for that matter, nominating an article you have created for speedily deletion - it's nothing personal, just policy and criteria. Now, the first thing you should bear in mind before creating an article on wikipedia is to follow our core policies of WP:NPOV, WP:V, and WP:NOR. However, also remember that when an article is speedily deleted, or nominated as such, it's not a reflection of whether or not your article is or is not verifiable or notable, but rather that it does not immediately establish the importance of the subject. The best thing to do when you're about to click the "save button" is 1.)Make sure your article (especially if its about a company) does not read like an advertisement or promotion (see WP:NOT and WP:SPAM). 2.)If you have outside references (references that aren't linked or come from the company itself) please include them right away. 3.)Yes, include all of those things before clicking save page - accolades, history, references etc..etc.. If you are somehow affiliated with the company, that is allowed, but you need to be careful about how you write the article. It needs to written in a formal encyclopedic tone. I hope that helps. If you have any more questions, please do not hesitate to ask me. Wisdom89 (talk) 21:06, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
