Please do not remove speedy deletion tags from articles. If you do not believe the article deserves to be deleted, then please place hangon on the page and make your case on the article's talk page. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the article. Thank you. Computerjoe 's talk 11:33, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

But it asked me to remove the tag once I'd placed the explanation on the talk page. I give up. Sorry for troubling you all. Have a great day :) ThePotato 11:35, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

Postville, Newfoundland and Labrador has been deleted due to lack of content. Please be encouraged to re-start the article when you have actual content to contribute. You may want to check out similar wikipedia articles of other places in Newfoundland and Labrador to get an idea of what is expected. Good Luck. Happy editing. -- PFHLai 12:14, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

I've given up on the whole idea as there's very little help for newcomers. It was so disheartening to see my content, that I was working on adding bit-by-bit, being deleted because you said I had no content. I'd added my links first, and was half-way through adding my pictures and gathering my text details when it was all deleted. Again, sorry for troubling you all. ThePotato 12:23, 9 April 2006 (UTC)


 * You may want to start in a "sandbox" (See Sandbox) or a subpage of your userpage. Then "move" the article out when it's ready. Hope this helps. -- PFHLai 12:51, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
 * There is also the inuse tag in case your page is released too early. Try again when you are up to it. -- PFHLai 18:50, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
