Greetings. At least one of your recent edits, such as the edit you made to Toby Henderson, did not appear to be constructive and has been or will be reverted or removed. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, please take some time to familiarise yourself with our policies and guidelines. You can find information about these at our welcome page which also provides further information about contributing constructively to this encyclopedia. If you only meant to make some test edits, please use the sandbox for that. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you may leave a message on my talk page. Don't attempt to take over another article. If the person is notable then create a new article. It's also a bad idea to create autobiographies. Please read WP:COI, particularly WP:COISELF.

 * And nothing in what you wrote suggests that an article about you won't be immediately deleted on notability grounds. A teenaged swimmer is not going to be notable unless he is at least a National team member,and possibly not even then unless he is winning major events. Meters (talk) 19:16, 26 November 2015 (UTC)

Welcome
Hello, Tobyhenderson20020906, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I notice that one of the first articles you created was ‎Toby Harris Murray Henderson, which appears to be an article about yourself. This is a common mistake made by new Wikipedians—as this is an encyclopedia, we wouldn't expect to have an article about every contributor. Your user page, however, is a great place to write about yourself, making sure to stay within user page guidelines. Just click your user name at the top of the screen when you are logged in, and edit it normally.

The page you created about yourself may well be deleted from the encyclopedia. If it is deleted and you wish to retrieve its contents, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

Here are some pages that you might find helpful: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your messages on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically insert your username and the date. If you need help, check out Questions, ask me on my talk page, or ask your question on this page and then place  before the question. Again, welcome! Norvoid (talk) 16:43, 9 December 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Toby Harris Murray Henderson


A tag has been placed on Toby Harris Murray Henderson requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, 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 from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. Norvoid (talk) 16:44, 9 December 2015 (UTC)
