Welcome
Welcome to Wikipedia. To find out more about how to make useful contributions, take a look at the welcome page. To stay in Wikipedia, an article has to be about something notable, that is, of general interest. Click on Notability for an explanation of what that means, and Notability (people) for more detail. Also, it must give independently verifiable sources. Articles that don't meet these requirements are deleted. Follow the links below to learn more: JohnCD 20:08, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
 * 1) To find out more about creating articles, read the introduction,  tutorial, and the guide to creating your first article.
 * 2) Do not write articles about yourself, your company, your band, or your best friend - that's a conflict of interest.
 * 3) Wikipedia is not an advertising service.
 * 4) For experiments, please use the sandbox.

A tag has been placed on Drew Sandholm requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. JohnCD 20:08, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Don't remove speedy-deletion tags
You are entitled to challenge the speedy deletion; if you want to do that, put on the page immediately under the  tag, and put your reasons on the article's talk page. The administrators will read what you say before they decide. But you must not remove the speedy deletion tag. Also, please read Wikipedia's policy on autobiography.

Warning
If you persist in removing speedy-deletion tags after being warned not to, that is vandalism and may lead to you being blocked from editing. JohnCD 21:01, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
