Speedy deletion nomination of Pretty polly parrot
A tag has been placed on Pretty polly parrot 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. You may wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. --darolew (talk) 19:50, 3 June 2010 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from Pretty polly parrot, a page you have created yourself. If you do not believe the page should be deleted, you can place a tag on the page, under the existing speedy deletion tag (please do not remove the speedy deletion tag), and make your case on the page's talk page. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you. --darolew (talk) 19:59, 3 June 2010 (UTC)

Re: Pretty polly parrot
Regardless of whether it exists, the article qualifies for speedy deletion under criteria A1: "Articles lacking sufficient context to identify the subject of the article." If you do not want the article to be deleted, then fix it. --darolew (talk) 20:04, 3 June 2010 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. A page you recently created may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for new pages, so it will shortly be removed (if it hasn't been already). Please use the sandbox for any tests, and consider using the Article Wizard. For more information about creating articles, you may want to read Your first article.

Cease your edits to my talk page; they are disruptive. --darolew (talk) 20:19, 3 June 2010 (UTC)

You have been blocked indefinitely from editing because your account is being used only for vandalism. If you would like to be unblocked, you may appeal this block by adding the text below, but you should read our guide to appealing blocks first. – B.hotep •talk• 20:21, 3 June 2010 (UTC)

If you like, I can unblock you... then I can reblock you for the 16 or so disruptive/harrassing edits to another user's page? – B.hotep •talk• 20:34, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
 * How was I disruptive?! He wanted it deleted so I was stating my case about its worthiness of inclusion etc. If he had given me a chance to find the tape or at least have time to build the article, I would have been able to "fix it". But he wanted it SPEEDY deleted, so I had to explain fast.--Tony8765 (talk) 20:39, 3 June 2010 (UTC)


 * Furthermore, the article was undeniably junk. Here is the entire text "Pretty polly parrot. On a sea of green. She's the brightest bird that you've ever seen." What is that supposed to be? Have you even seen a Wikipedia article before? You didn't even attempt to actually write anything about the rhyme, instead focusing your efforts on obsessively posting to the talk page of the user who noticed you created an article with no meaningful content. Try reading the five pillars of Wikipedia, the most concise guide to what Wikipedia is and how it works. Beeblebrox (talk) 21:30, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Furtherfurthermore, you know how to game a "vandalism" block... you seem to know your way around quite well, in fact. So you would think that you would know how to contest a SPEEDY. Remember? – B.hotep •talk• 21:40, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
