Speedy deletion of The Popularity of English Tee Shirts in Japan
A tag has been placed on The Popularity of English Tee Shirts in Japan, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

Unsourced personal essay full of Original research

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as an appropriate article, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is appropriate, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add  on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the 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. Flarkins (talk) 22:10, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

I changed it to "proposed deletion", which gives you 4 days to improve the article. What it basically needs is more references; the individual sections need specific references, otherwise it does sound like an essay. If you fix this, remove the tag, but be aware it can still be sent for regular deletion if anyone thinks it is not satisfactory. Please check  our guide to writing Wikipedia articles.

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from a page you have created yourself. If you do not believe the page should be deleted, you can place a tag on the page, under the existing speedy deletion tag (please do not remove the speedy deletion tag), and make your case on the page's. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Flarkins (talk) 22:32, 18 February 2009 (UTC)
