Hello, Detroit Joe, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, like Sheila Cockrel, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for page creation, and may soon be deleted.

Speedy deletion nomination of Sheila Cockrel

A tag has been placed on Sheila Cockrel 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 a person or group of people, 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 see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), 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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Care to weigh in?

Care to weigh in on The Hot Club of Detroit? (I for one am disinclined to partake of the holy deletion debate sacrament any time soon). James470 (talk) 02:47, 29 April 2011 (UTC)

Geez, thanks for telling me about this. Detroit Joe (talk) 23:54, 2 May 2011 (UTC)

note

"I live and work and play in Detroit. Apparently that makes me unqualified to edit Wikipedia articles about Detroit."

That's completely wrong. Where'd you get that idea? DS (talk) 22:16, 8 July 2011 (UTC)

Christopher Skebo

You may wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles. See the Article Wizard.

Thank you.

The article Christopher Skebo has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done because the article, which appeared to be about a real person, individual animal, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, did not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the notability of the subject may be deleted at any time. If you can indicate why the subject is really notable, you are free to re-create the article, making sure to cite any verifiable sources.

Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and for specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for musicians, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. NawlinWiki (talk) 21:13, 25 August 2011 (UTC)
