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 important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

Wikipedia is not a place for writing about yourself
Hi. Welcome to Wikipedia, but it is not a place like Myspace or Facebook for people to write about themselves and their families and friends. It is a quite different sort of site, a project to build an encyclopedia, so it is selective about subjects for articles, and writing about oneself is strongly discouraged, for reasons explained at Wikipedia is not about YOU and Autobiography. The links in the Welcome message at the top of this page will tell you more about Wikipedia; also, I think you should read Guidance for younger editors.

I have deleted your article Sarah Agius, which was actually almost all about two other people, one in a band and one footballer. Quite apart from the fact that you shouldn't write about your own family here, see WP:MUSICBIO and WP:NFOOTY respectively for what a musical performer and a footballer need to have achieved before they can have Wikipedia articles.

Your first article is a good introduction to what is needed to make an acceptable article. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 08:58, 14 October 2012 (UTC)

Copyright
Your article Labor party queensland leader 2012 was almost completely copied from http://australianpolitics.com/political-parties. That site is marked "Copyright © AustralianPolitics.com 1995-2012", but even where a source doesn't have a copyright notice, you mustn't copy material into Wikipedia. It could cause serious legal trouble. Above every edit screen it says "Content that violates any copyrights will be deleted." Please read Copy-paste, which explains this.

You must not copy into Wikipedia
Sarah, your sandbox was copied from https://marianss.eq.edu.au/Pages/default.aspx. I explained above that you must not copy material into Wikipedia, not even into sandboxes or user pages. Please read Copy-paste. If you do it again, you may be blocked from editing. JohnCD (talk) 10:19, 15 October 2012 (UTC)
