Blanking
Thank you for a) experimenting with Wikipedia by creating the nonsense article on "Formibest", and then b) trying to do the right thing by blanking it. What you should have done, actually, was place the tag on it, which would have automatically drawn it to the attention of an administrator (such as me) who would have deleted it for you. Only administrators can delete articles, you see. DS 01:07, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
