Welcome to Wikipedia. Please do not replace pages with blank content, as you did with this edit to Talk:Alternaria and allergies, as this is confusing to readers. The page's content has been restored for now. If there is a problem with the page, it should be edited or reverted to a previous version if possible; if you think the page should be removed entirely, see further information. Thank you. —  Jeff G. ツ (talk)   16:49, 4 November 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Alternaria and allergies


A tag has been placed on Alternaria and allergies requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, a rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, 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. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. —  Jeff G. ツ (talk)   16:53, 4 November 2011 (UTC)

Userspace drafts
Hi. Welcome to Wikipedia. The article that you posted was essentially empty. Because we don't like to have blank articles in the encyclopedia, one of the criteria for speedy deletion is WP:CSD "no content." Yours was tagged after only six minutes, which is a little premature - we normally recommend waiting 10 - 15 minutes to see whether any content is forthcoming - but it is now nearly an hour since you entered the title, so I have deleted it.

There is no need to input a blank article as a "placeholder", and it doesn't look good if a reader comes upon it. A better way, if you want to take time about creating an article, is to start with a draft in a user sub-page. See Help:Userspace draft for how to do that. Then you can move the article into the main encyclopedia only when it is ready, avoiding the risk of premature deletion. JohnCD (talk) 17:57, 4 November 2011 (UTC)

Copyright
While I'm here, I'd like to raise another matter. We have recently had a great deal of trouble with copyright violations from student projects and it is clear that in some cases (I'm not saying this is true for your project) they have not been properly briefed on this issue. Please read Copy-paste, which explains things clearly and, if you have not already been pointed to this page, ask your instructor to read it and to explain it to the rest of the class. My apologies if you have already been briefed on this, but I would rather be safe than sorry. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 17:57, 4 November 2011 (UTC)

Alternaria and allergies
Hi your userspace draft could go at User:Nharris1/Alternaria and allergies. Alternately should Alternaria be expanded with your content? Graeme Bartlett (talk) 21:47, 4 November 2011 (UTC)
