Speedy deletion nomination of How to be a smart middle schooler


A tag has been placed on How to be a smart middle schooler requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. 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 the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you.  Gourami Watcher   (Gulp) 01:33, 23 February 2012 (UTC)

 * Incidentally, Teach101, if you need the text of your deleted article for something else, you might ask a friendly Wikipedia administrator to provide you with a copy of the text by email. However, it is not suitable to be an article on Wikipedia at the moment. --Demiurge1000 (talk) 02:40, 23 February 2012 (UTC)

There is a rule we strive to follow here at Wikipedia about something we like to call notability. This means that even though someone might have some information on good word, we like to have any factual information cited, or linked to some kind of publication so that other editors can tell if what another person says is true. If another editor accused you of being wrong, this might be a bit of an exaggeration, but they might have other sources in print telling them something else. Even though we trust you, we prefer to see the facts in print. Thank you for editing Wikipedia!

Type the link of the article you want to link to like this: Then end with what text you want to be blue, like this: Click Here Put That all together in a row, and you get: Click Here. Of course, only links to valid pages will be blue. Pages that dont exist yet will be red.
