Little context in English snooker players
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on English snooker players, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because English snooker players is very short providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting English snooker players, please affix the template to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself. --Android Mouse Bot 2 21:08, 31 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi there. I saw your question on the help desk, and I've come here to answer it for you. Basically, there are policies and guidelines determining what articles belong on Wikipedia, and when people see an article that they feel doesn't qualify, they can tag it for deletion in one of three ways:


 * 1) By "prodding", or proposing deletion. When tagged this way, the article is semi-automatically deleted in a week if no-one removes the tag (essentially, it's for when the deletion will presumably be unopposed).
 * 2) By nominating on Articles for deletion, where the article's merits will be discussed for up to five days, after which an administrator weighs the arguments and makes a decision.
 * 3) A limited number of speedy deletion criteria exist, and an article which qualifies for any of these can be tagged and deleted basically as quickly as an administrator comes around to look at it.
 * In your case, someone felt that your article qualified for speedy deletion criterion A1: "Very short articles providing little or no context.", which at the time it appears it did. Someone else came along, and realised that instead of the article being deleted, it could be redirected to List of snooker players. So, your article won't be deleted, but instead will probably stay as a redirect unless someone can write an article about English snooker players (and for them to have an article it would be necessary for there to be something special about English snooker players that wouldn't be covered by an article on snooker, or snooker players in general, or snooker in England). Hope that helps. Confusing Manifestation 22:46, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

Conflict of interest
Please do not make edits in Wikipedia about yourself as you appear to have done at List of snooker players. Please see Wikipedia's Conflict of Interest Guideline for why this is a bad idea. —  SMcCandlish  &#91;talk&#93; &#91;cont&#93; ‹(-¿-)› 00:18, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
