Speedy deletion nomination of Brisbane Bitter


A tag has been placed on Brisbane Bitter 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 the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can 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 a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent 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. Mediran  talk 10:22, 24 September 2012 (UTC)

Drafting without danger of deletion (try Userspace)
Greetings Nick, I replied at Talk:Brisbane Bitter but copying here. Note your article was missing WP:Categories, so I went to Victoria Bitter, copied and modified the categories that article used, and applied them to the BB article. Scroll to the bottom of the page, check out the cats, and see if you think they fit well. Don't forget to apply categories to every new article you start.

Good idea for an article, by the way. Keep glancing at Victoria Bitter to get an idea of what a beer article should include, and before long you'll have BB built up into a nice clean article. Adding a logo would be great; just bear in mind learning to upload images is kind of tricky at first, so make sure to read Logos before trying it, and try to stay chill while learning the ropes!

Sorry about that whole deletion mess; starting new articles can be confusing at first. In the future you may want to use Help:Userspace draft to work up a draft in a safe userspace where you can take your time putting all the pieces together. When an article is launched in actual Articlespace, it's immediately subject to tags, changes, deletion, etc. So it's best to have "all your ducks in a row" before launching.

Your article is looking solid enough to survive right now thanks to your quick sourcing, though it still needs some polishing. Keep working on this one here, and for your next article do the Userspace draft until you have enough content to launch safely. If you have any questions, come to the Teahouse to get advice from volunteer mentors. MatthewVanitas (talk) 15:36, 24 September 2012 (UTC)
