If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on We Got This Covered (blog) 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 web content, but it does not 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 "Click here to 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, you can place a request here. Theroadislong (talk) 18:24, 18 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on Project X (2008 film) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, images, a rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. 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.

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 "Click here to 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, you can place a request here. PamD 22:44, 18 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I have restored the article at your request, and have placed it here: User:DavidBellos/Mary Shenouda. You can work at it to your heart's content, and when you think it is ready, you can request it be moved back into mainspace. You can either ask me, or if you don't get a quick response (going to be a busy few weeks!) you can always post a request at the Administrator's Noticeboard.

Just a few things you need to do to ensure that the article doesn't get deleted:

  1. Is she notable? Have a read of WP:NOTABILITY; if she doesn't meet these requirements, then no matter how much you work on the article, it won't be accepted.
  2. Is it properly referenced? Articles of living people MUST be properly referenced. Have a read of WP:REFERENCE for referencing the articles. Please note that these do need to be 3rd party references from notable sources; an article that refers just to the person's website or blog is not enough.
  3. Does the article read as an article and no longer as advertising copy? The reason I gave promotion as a reason for deletion (in addition to the notability issue) was that it did read as if you were promoting this person. I accept that this was unintentional, as you say you have no dealings with her, but you do need to have a look at making the article more neutral in tone. Don't worry - it should be easy to fix. This part of the Manual of Style should help you avoid phrasing that will give it a more encyclopaedic feel.

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask me. However, I might not respond quickly, so you may do better at the Help Desk. Stephen! Coming... 22:37, 1 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

August 2013[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. I noticed that your username, "DavidBellos", may not meet Wikipedia's username policy because it is very close to the real name of the translator David Bellos. If you believe that your username does not violate our policy, please leave a note here explaining why. As an alternative, you may ask for a change of username, or you may simply create a new account for editing. Thank you. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 18:27, 20 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hi! Sorry about this! The specific bit of the "rules" that deals with this kind of misunderstanding is this one. Regards, Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 18:34, 20 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Two Degrees (company)[edit]

This article was deleted because it was created by an account that was part of User:Morning277's paid-article sockfarm. The article that you currently have in your sandbox appears identical to the deleted one. What can you tell me about whether or not you're being paid to write articles? NawlinWiki (talk) 22:07, 21 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]

The article Epic Signal has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non-notable agency. References are mainly single line entries. Not enough in-depth coverage.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. reddogsix (talk) 21:26, 19 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
