User talk:Randy at SurfShelf

Surfshelf
Hello and welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that you inadvertently created the article moving into mainspace when you were trying to create SurfShelf; I have listed the incorrectly named article for deletion.

I have also tagged the SurfShelf article for potential notability concerns, as well as conflict of interest. Please familiarize yourself with those pages, as they are important parts of Wikipedia's basic rules and guidelines. Additionally, you should review our userpage policies; I would suggest that you tone down the promotional feel of your userpage content. Thank you for your contributions.
