Speedy deletion of The Decembrist Revolt in Russia
Please refrain from introducing inappropriate pages, such as The Decembrist Revolt in Russia, to Wikipedia. Doing so is not in accordance with our policies. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

My apologies for this error. I assumed the article was incorrect because you cited the events as taking place in 1925, which was well past the Tsarist period. Another editor who has a superior knowledge of Russian history recognized the mistake in the article's date and the notability of the event, and he promptly redirected it to a pre-existing article on the event. Clearly, I need to spend more time on Wikipedia reading up on my Russian history! I sincerely hope that you continue to contribute to Wikipedia. Be well and thanks.
