Welcome
Welcome to Wikipedia. To find out how to make useful contributions, take a look at the welcome page. 'To stay in Wikipedia, an article has to be about something notable'', that is, of general interest. Click on Notability for an explanation of what that means, and on Notability (people) for more detail.''' Also, it must give independently verifiable sources. Articles that don't meet these requirements are likely to be deleted. Follow the links below to learn more: JohnCD (talk) 13:31, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
 * To find out more about creating articles, read the Introduction and the guide to creating Your first article.
 * You should not write articles about yourself, your band, or your best friend - that's a conflict of interest.
 * Wikipedia is not a social-networking site; it is a collaborative project to create an encyclopedia.

Notability of MiniAndrewMini
A tag has been placed on MiniAndrewMini requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, 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. 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 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 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) 13:31, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

Don't remove speedy-deletion tags
You are entitled to challenge the speedy deletion, as you have, by putting on the page immediately under the  tag, and putting your reasons on the article's talk page. The administrators will read what you say before they decide. But you should not remove the speedy deletion tag from a page you have created.

You said "the page was created by me and my friends to say stuff about me". That's not what Wikipedia is for: it's a project to make an encyclopedia, and articles in it have to be about something notable. There are lots of social-networking sites like Myspace or Facebook for what you want to do; or if you are interested in contributing to the encyclopedia, read my first article.
