Speedy deletion nomination of Halo information
A tag has been placed on Halo information, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising that 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 general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add  on the top of Halo information and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from independent reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Half Shadow  03:44, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Bungie Recon
A tag has been placed on Bungie Recon 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, "See also" section, book reference, category tag, template tag, interwiki link, 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.

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.

Some more advice:

One of the reasons why the article "Halo information" was deleted was that it's very very redundant. Instead of starting articles right away, how about looking if the article already exists, and work on improving those articles? Crafting your first article is difficult, it's better to look at what we already have made, so that you know what we're looking for. For example, we already have articles for Halo 3, Halo Wars, Halo: ODST, Halo: Reach, etc etc. Also, Wikipedia might not be the best place for really in-depth game information - I don't know if we have, or even need, information about Recon armour. But fret not - there's Halopedia for that sort of stuff. =)

Next, "Bungie Recon". Frankly, I don't think Bungie employees look at random web pages for fan letters. Perhaps you'd want to try emailing them directly? Anyway, I deleted the article because it was an attempt to correspond with Bungie and not a real encyclopaedia article.

I hope these bits of advice are helpful! --wwwwolf (barks/growls) 17:31, 16 July 2009 (UTC)
