User talk:Zodokite

Welcome!

Hello, Zodokite, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Plainism, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may soon be deleted.

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type helpme on this page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Questions or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! Sparthorse (talk) 06:37, 23 November 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Plainism


Please refrain from introducing inappropriate pages, such as Plainism, to Wikipedia. Doing so is not in accordance with our policies. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, 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.

Use of Wikipedia for publicising new ideas
Wikipedia is not for publishing new ideas, original research, or things you made up. It is a common misunderstanding to think that "anyone can edit Wikipedia" means "anyone can post anything they like on Wikipedia", but it doesn't, and your article does not satisfy Wikipedia's notability standards. In order to be the subject of a Wikipedia article, a topic needs to have already received substantial coverage in reliable sources such as newspapers and significant books. I have declined the speedy deletion, as I believe that you wrote the article in good faith, and not as a hoax. However, that does not mean that the article will not be deleted, but only that it will be left for a while to allow editors a chance to raise objections. If no objections are raised the article will be deleted after a week. It would be possible for you to prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, explaining why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page. However, doing so would merely waste people's time, as the article would then be nominated for a deletion discussion, where I have not the slightest doubt it would be deleted. I suggest it will be better to accept that Wikipedia is not the place to publicise your ideas, and find other web sites where you can do so. JamesBWatson (talk) 10:11, 23 November 2011 (UTC)
