Speedy deletion nomination of List of amphibians of Alaska
Hello Steppe hound 4,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged List of amphibians of Alaska for deletion, because it seems to be inappropriate for a variety of reasons.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Terrortank (talk) 16:29, 19 January 2015 (UTC)


 * I have deleted the page as not having any real content. I would also note that there is a small population of toads in some areas Alaska, so it was wrong anyway. See here Beeblebrox (talk) 20:12, 19 January 2015 (UTC)

No problem
That is O.K. but keep in mind it is completely accurate. I am sick of one and all deleting my pages. On every wiki and wikia I go on, the same results.
 * The page was deleted because it was simply one sentence consisting of your opinion/belief that there are no amphibians in Alaska. It did not appear to be a serious attempt at writing an encyclopedia article. Additionally, as I tried to point out above, it is in fact just wrong. I have seen this with my own eyes and even handled a wood toad that was crossing a road near Fairbanks, but don't take my word for it, see Wildlife of Alaska which makes it clear that there are in fact some amphibians in Alaska.


 * I can't speak to why your contributions may have been deleted on other wikis, but Wikipedia is first and foremost an encyclopedia that strives to provide accurate, properly sourced information to the public. It is not a place to just post your theories, opinions, or random thoughts. I would suggest you look at the five pillars of Wikipedia, which is a brief overview of what Wikipedia is and how it works. You could also check out any of the links in the welcome message I left you above, or ask me if you have any other questions. Hope this helps. Beeblebrox (talk) 20:08, 25 January 2015 (UTC)
