Suggestion
In the early days of Wikipedia, it was considered acceptable to start an article in main space, even when it clearly did not meet all guidelines. That is no longer true. While the first version in main space does not have to be a completely polished article, it does have to meet minimum guidelines.

It is understandable that some people prefer to start with a few sentences, and build up to a more complete article. I know I work that way, so I'm very sympathetic to that approach. However, if you want to create an article that way, you should start it in user space, where it is less likely to get deleted quickly (although rules prohibiting attacks and material under copyright are still in place in user space).

One easy way to start an article in user space is to use the Article Wizard, which will give you an option to start in user space. Or you can directly create a page in your user space (ask if you need to know how.) I hope you will try again, but this time start in user space, or create offline until you have an article meeting minimum guidelines.-- SPhilbrick  T  14:48, 21 January 2011 (UTC)
