Life in Singapore - The Good Old Days
Greetings! I've got some concerns about Life in Singapore - The Good Old Days, an article you just created. The big problem is that it reads like a personal essay and not an encyclopedia article. Wikipedia is not the place to publish your original research, stories, papers, or any other item being published for the first time. Articles should not draw on first-hand accounts; they should be based on reliable sources that appeared in print.

As a result, your article will likely be nominated for deletion very soon. If you can improve the article, do so. You may want to review the guidelines on Your first article though for what should and shouldn't be in an article. —C.Fred (talk) 18:17, 18 November 2010 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Life in Singapore - The Good Old Days


The article Life in Singapore - The Good Old Days has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Essay and personal reflections, not an article

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. —C.Fred (talk) 18:42, 18 November 2010 (UTC)
