Speedy deletion nomination of Dunderschnuffling
[edit]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 Dunderschnuffling requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about something invented/coined/discovered by the article's creator or someone they know personally, and 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.
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. Epicgenius (talk) 03:46, 9 December 2013 (UTC)
- Hi TheWordPlayer. The made up article you created might be appropriate at some other site, but not here. Based on the statement you added to your userpage, I'm afraid your intent to add comedy pages to Wikipedia is not in keeping with what Wikipedia is--a sober encyclopedia, a reference work for real subjects the world has taken note of in reliable sources. You may have good inten, but what you want to do is simply not right for this place and you need to find a more appropriate venue. Note that if you continue to create inappropriate articles, after being told they are inappropriate, you might be blocked from editing. If you do want to learn about what we do want, please see Wikipedia:Introduction and the Wikipedia:Tutorial, and for ways to help out, see Wikipedia:Community portal.
