Speedy deletion of N.V.V.J. Swamy
A tag has been placed on N.V.V.J. Swamy requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, 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, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the article (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 would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

N.V.V.J. Swamy
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article N.V.V.J. Swamy, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add db-author to the top of N.V.V.J. Swamy.

AfD nomination of N.V.V.J. Swamy
I have nominated N.V.V.J. Swamy, an article you created, for deletion. I do not feel that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Articles for deletion/N.V.V.J. Swamy. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Suggestions for N.V.V.J. Swamy
Hi there Saritepe... I notice that an article you just created was nominated for deletion because it does not assert notability. You can probably avoid having it deleted if you provide some outside references that can establish why this person is notable in his field. Right now the only citations and refs are from his works, and that's generally not good enough. You can take a look at WP:NOTE to get an idea of what sort of references are commonly accepted. If you feel that you can do this, you may want to express that over at AFD. You can also go over there if you want to argue in favor of the article as it stands now or believe it should be deleted.

Blanking your own talk page
Hi, Saritepe, welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you're enjoying your time here, and I can see you've already made some good contributions. If you hadn't already been welcomed, I've just given you a welcome message above - please use it to learn about our rules, policies and guidelines; and how to edit as best you can. It's about one of those guidelines that I'm here to talk to you about.

You recently removed either all or a lot of the content from your own talk page - please don't do this, it's considered bad etiquette. Messages are placed here for your attention, and it can be very useful for others to see these too. For instance, the welcome message above and the date stamp in it tell others that you've been welcomed recently, and that you have the welcome there to show you where to go. If you had any warnings placed on your page, it helps others to know that you have been warned about a certain thing before. Removing warnings (as opposed to just notices and miscellaneous messages) from your talk page is considered by many to be vandalism. Trust me, the resources I've given you in the 'Welcome!' section above are VERY useful - I wish I'd had them when I signed up, but I had to learn the hard way.

If your talk page feels like it's getting too long or cluttered, the established way to shorten it is by archiving your talk page, specifically the Move procedure. This also means that you have an archived history of messages in case you need to refer back to them at some point. Anyway, thanks for reading this long message, and hope to see you around some time. Thanks. —Vanderdecken∴ ∫ξφ 12:42, 24 December 2007 (UTC)
