Welcome!

Hello,, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for page creation, and may soon be deleted.

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type helpme on this page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Where to ask a question or ask me on. Again, welcome! かんぱい！ Scapler (talk) 07:53, 26 April 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Feedpoke
A tag has been placed on Feedpoke requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, a rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content. You may wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. かんぱい！ Scapler (talk) 07:53, 26 April 2010 (UTC)

Feedpoke
I have replied to your post at Talk:Feedpoke, explaining why what you have written does not justify keeping the article. JamesBWatson (talk) 08:14, 26 April 2010 (UTC)

reply copied below:
 * Unfortunately the above indicates that the purpose of the article is promotion of the society, which is against Wikipedia policy. Saying that the article will "make people aware of the website" is a clear statement of intention to promote the site. Wikipedia articles provide easy access to material which has already been covered in reliable independent sources. They do not serve as a way of publicising information about organisations which is not well known, nor as a way of enabling people to keep in touch with one another or with a website. Finally, the fact that the site is not commercial is totally irrelevant: Wikipedia treats commercial and other topics in exactly the same way. JamesBWatson (talk) 08:11, 26 April 2010 (UTC)
