Welcome!

Hello,, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for page creation, and may soon be deleted (if it hasn't already).

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 of Twitter Mobile
A tag has been placed on Twitter Mobile 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, "See also" section, book reference, category tag, template tag, interwiki link, 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, 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), 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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Twitter Mobile
A tag has been placed on Twitter Mobile, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising that only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add  on the top of Twitter Mobile 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 help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from independent reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

I also want to point out that the article doesn't really meet notability guidelines, is an orphan and contains very little original content. And I have no problem saying that you have a conflict of interest with subject, having created the same article twice and it being nominated for deletion both times.

 * You asked why your article was deleted, here is my response. Obviously, I have the problem of memory because, being deleted, I can't look back over what was there. I seem to remember the main problem being that there was an opening paragraph or two about the application/service but the rest of it was about Twitter in general. The problem with this is that we already have an article on Twitter and don't need to duplicate what it says on another page.


 * Now you might question that you could have renovated the page and removed the duplicate information, but that would have left the article very small and useless. Wikipedia can't hold articles on every little thing in existence and sadly Twitter Mobile was caught up as being in the general category of just not notable enough. However, it's possible that the article you aimed to create could be included in the main Twitter article as a separate paragraph. My advice now would be to look into that idea.
