Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed maintenance templates from Dota Play Guide. When removing maintenance templates, please be sure to either resolve the problem that the template refers to, or give a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary. If this was a mistake, don't worry, as your removal of this template has been reverted. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. —C.Fred (talk) 01:30, 29 August 2016 (UTC)

Your contributed article, Dota Play Guide


Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Dota Play Guide. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Dota 2. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Dota 2 – you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. —C.Fred (talk) 01:31, 29 August 2016 (UTC)


 * How-to guides are always inappropriate in Wikipedia, but the article is really just a summary of gameplay, which is already covered in Dota 2. Frankly, I don't see any way to make this article into something useful. —C.Fred (talk) 01:32, 29 August 2016 (UTC)


 * I just published an article and it was deleted because there was another ongoing article that was relatively close to my article, i know my article was short but it was not finished yet, i was going to make it proper in some time as i was already working on it, The article to which my article was found linked is Dota 2 and i am thinking to write article about the heroes of dota 2 and their roles and guide on how to play them, that is totally different from that page, i hope you get my point. And yes it was my mistake to publish it when it was not finished yet, i was actually checking stuff as i am new to Wikipedia.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Saad Jillani (talk • contribs) 01:38, 29 August 2016 (UTC)  (copied from User talk:C.Fred) 


 * No, you should not write that. Wikipedia is not a game guide; that is a specific category of article that is not permitted on Wikipedia. Wikipedia should have an article on the game, and if characters or other components of the game become widely known and covered in the press, then they might wind up with articles also. However, we should not have an article that gives an editor's personal opinion or guidance on how to play the game. —C.Fred (talk) 01:41, 29 August 2016 (UTC)
