Welcome!

Hello, Philsbos, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Metrocosmopolitans, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may soon be deleted.

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have!

Speedy deletion nomination of Metrocosmopolitans


A tag has been placed on Metrocosmopolitans requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. 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, you may contest the deletion by adding to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, 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.

Declined Speedy deletion
I declined the speedy deletion request, as it was clear this was a work in progress. The next time you start an article, I urge you to consider starting it in user space, to avoid the problem. (If you don't know what that means, just ask, and I'll explain).

Because I declined the speedy, I removed the hangon message.

You might consider adding the template, to let others know you are actively working on this, although that template should not be left on for an extended time.--  SPhilbrick  T  02:27, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

Next steps
Unfortunately, someone else came along and deleted the page.

You might consider creating a page in user subspace. Go to

User:Philsbos/Metrocosmopolitans

and start creating an article. Be aware that if it is simply advertising a blog, it will be deleted. Unless you can show that the subject meets the Notability standard with multiple references to reliable sources, it will not survive.-- SPhilbrick  T  02:38, 23 November 2010 (UTC)
