Proposed deletion of The Tattooed Lady of Lochee
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article The Tattooed Lady of Lochee, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Hi, I notice that the page has been nominated for deletion before, and you got rid of the deletion tag. If you think your page is worthy of Wikipedia, you should defend it on the article's 'article for deletion' page, a link to which should pop up on the page soonish. Also, since you appear to be a new editor, you should probably read Simplified_Ruleset to get an idea of how to write articles which won't be nominated for deletion. Good luck, and I hope your Wikipedia experience gets better from here. --Helenalex (talk) 01:48, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Your first article would probably be more helpful. --Helenalex (talk) 01:51, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

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.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Speedy deletion of Old Lochee and Logie
A tag has been placed on Old Lochee and Logie, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to have no meaningful content or history, and the text is unsalvageably incoherent. If the page you created was a test, please use the sandbox for any other experiments you would like to do. Feel free to leave a message on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

This is the last warning you will receive for your disruptive edits. The next time you create an inappropriate page, you will be blocked from editing. Jonnie d smith (talk) 12:28, 24 August 2008 (UTC)

A word of advice
New articles get checked for appropriateness by volunteers, so it's a good idea to make sure your article meets the minimum standard before adding it. At minimum, all articles need an assertion of notability and one or two independent sources cited. Some of us like to work on articles in our own userspace- you can create a sandbox just by going to User:Norrie Bland/Sandbox- until they're ready to pass inspection. Here's an example of a day when I had two half-finished articles going in my sandbox. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 12:43, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I am trying here to provide a history of characters of the area in which i live. I am sorry that i cannot complete these articles at a speed you would like. Perhaps, rather than trying to suppress my attempts to record local folk lore you suggest ways to help me by making page compilation instructions less technical!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ((unsigned|Norrie Bland}}
 * Yes, I saw that the way you were working, by creating articles that weren't yet finished, was not working well for you. That's why I suggested a way that works better.  It hurts my feelings that you reacted to my helpful advice with anger, instead of saying something like, "Thank you; I'll try doing it that way." -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 13:31, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
 * By the way, I haven't seen an article of yours that was finished enough to really tell what it is about yet. If 'characters in the area in which you live' aren't people who are so important that they have been written about in multiple, independent, reliable sources, then you may find that the subjects you want to write about don't pass our notability test.  Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and we have to have standards for notability because so many people come here, if you can believe it, to try to create articles about themselves and their friends- and we're trying to keep our standards high.  You might want to check out the notability criteria and make sure that the subjects you want to write about meet them, because I'd hate for you to waste any time.  I mean that especially today, because I just spent an hour writing an article and then discovered that someone else had already written a better article on the same subject. :( -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 13:35, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
