Speedy deletion nomination of Atticus591/subpage
editIf 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.
Thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test worked, and the page that you created has been or soon will be deleted. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}}
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 hang-on 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. 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. Phearson (talk) 16:02, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
The correct format for userpages is user:Atticus591/etc Phearson (talk) 16:04, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
Hi
editI've deleted your subpage and its talk page. When you create a new subpage, it's best to give it a title like "user:Atticus591/draft of Herbert Klipspringer-Jones" (assuming you're writing about Herbert Klipspringer-Jones, of course). Putting 'draft' in helps to keep the eagle-eyed patrollers out. So long as you don't put copyright material or blatant spam in, you should be OK. Any problems, don't be afraid to contact me at my talk page. Peridon (talk) 21:41, 28 March 2011 (UTC)
