Widnes Commercial Motors
The article Widnes Commercial Motors has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done because the article, which appeared to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, did not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the notability of the subject may be deleted at any time. If you can indicate why the subject is really notable, you are free to re-create the article, making sure to cite any verifiable sources.

Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and for specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for musicians, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. NawlinWiki (talk) 15:53, 11 September 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Halton Bus Services


A tag has been placed on Halton Bus Services, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article that does not provide sufficient context to identify its subject. 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.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template   to the article and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

Hi, I noticed you had not been properly welcomed yet, so hello. Thanks for your efforts so far, but please remember this is an encyclopedia, not a directory, so any such articles will probably get deleted. Good luck with editing.  Majorly  talk  23:55, 11 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Hello Tom, administrator Majorly was nice enough to move Halton_Bus_Services to User:Tomtelf/Halton_Bus_Services which is your user page, next time you start a new article, I would strongly suggest creating it in your user space instead, like User:Tomtelf/Halton_Bus_Services is now. Then you can ask other editors to view it, and once they think it is encyclopedic enough, you can then move it to the main encyclopedia.
 * Your current list now at User:Tomtelf/Halton_Bus_Services is useful, but it is not very encyclopedic and would have probably been deleted.
 * Have you looked at some of the other bus and metro pages? Like the Washington DC Metro? These may give you some ideas.
 * At anytime you can type and then ask your question right after this, or you can message me or Majorly for help. Ikip (talk) 01:30, 12 September 2009 (UTC)

Article incubation
Hi. I notice that your article, Halton Bus Services was moved out of the encyclopedia and into your user space. If you don't object, I would like to move this article to the Article Incubator, a new project that facilitates the development of articles up to Wikipedia standards without being under some threat of deletion. What I'm proposing is this: I will move User:Tomtelf/Halton_Bus_Services to Article Incubator/Halton_Bus_Services. In that location, it will be brought to the attention of many editors who can help improve it so that we'll be able to move it back into the proper encyclopedia soon. Please let me know if you object to this for any reason, or if you have any questions or concerns; pending that, I'm going to go ahead and get it to the incubator. Thanks for your contribution. -GTBacchus(talk) 09:38, 17 September 2009 (UTC)
