Welcome!

Hello, Spark21822, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Brian Murphy for Governor, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, 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!

Speedy deletion nomination of Brian Murphy for Governor
A tag has been placed on Brian Murphy for Governor, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as FAQ/Business for more information. You may also 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 - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), 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. andy (talk) 13:44, 30 July 2010 (UTC)
 * From my talk page: "How was Brian Murphy (Gubernatorial Candidate for Governor) promotional?"
 * The title is the first sign that it is a promotional article. Please read WP:NOTADVERTISING. Thanks.  Jujutacular  talk 19:42, 30 July 2010 (UTC)

Please refrain from introducing inappropriate pages to Wikipedia as doing so is not in accordance with our policies. For more information about creating articles, you may want to read Your first article; you might also consider using the Article Wizard. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. ''You have now created TWO SEPARATE pages promoting this individual. Please stop. Further, information like this: For people who are sick of liberal policies in Annapolis..., you need to post on Conservapedia or some other site. Wikipedia is meant to be neutral; this type of information WILL NOT BE TOLERATED.'' &mdash; Timneu22 · &#32; talk 18:56, 30 July 2010 (UTC)

Neutrality
From the article's talk page:

I do not agree that this page is promotional by any means. All it contains is factual information on a nonpartisan level. Nevertheless, I will revise the page and make it purely encyclopedic.
 * This is neutral tone?  is a principled businessman who has committed to giving Marylanders a choice for Leadership in 2010 &mdash; Timneu22 · &#32; talk 19:20, 30 July 2010 (UTC)
 * That is cited. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Spark21822 (talk • contribs) 19:48, 30 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Providing a glowing adjective like "principled" in the intro is a clear indication that the article is not written in a neutral tone. Period. Please, take your promotional material elsewhere. Multiple users have now tried to explain this to you. &mdash; Timneu22 · &#32; talk 20:01, 30 July 2010 (UTC)
