Your contributed article, A million digits of pi


Hello, I notice that you recently created a new page, A million digits of pi. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as yourself. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page - pi. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at pi - you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think that the article you created should remain separate, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to 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 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. 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. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. → Σ  τ  c. 01:37, 13 December 2011 (UTC)

Please do not add a million digits of pi to any more pages. Doing so is disruptive and will eventually get yourself blocked. → Σ  τ  c. 01:40, 13 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Wikipedia does not need any very long list of the digits of pi. This falls under WP:INDISCRIMINATE. There is no encyclopedic value to that information, and Pi not only contains an adequate description of the concept, it provides links to other sites that do provide longer enumerations. I have deleted the article under WP:CSD, as the full set of numbers basically just duplicates the information contained in prose at Pi. I hope this makes sense; if you have questions, let me know on my talk page and I will try to explain further. Qwyrxian (talk) 02:01, 13 December 2011 (UTC)
