Welcome

Welcome to Wikipedia. To find out how to make useful contributions, take a look at the welcome page. To stay in Wikipedia, an article has to be about something notable, that is, of general interest. Click on Notability for an explanation of what that means. Also, it must give independently verifiable sources. Articles that don't meet these requirements are likely to be deleted. Follow the links below to learn more:

• To find out more about creating articles, read the Introduction and the Guide to creating your first article.
• You should not write articles about yourself, your band, or your best friend - that's a conflict of interest.
• Wikipedia is not for things made up one day.
• For experiments, please use the sandbox.

Shawnglish

A tag has been placed on Shawnglish, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the page appears to have no meaningful content or history, and the text is unsalvageably incoherent.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag) and leave a note on the page's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself.

If the page you created was a test, please use the sandbox for any other experiments you would like to do. Feel free to leave a message on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Ecoleetage (talk) 14:58, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

Shawnglish

Hello. You need to stop recreating this unless you can provide some reliable, verifiable sources showing this isn't something just made up. I find no Google hits to support it not being an obvious hoax. Web pages, scholarly journals, books? That would help. Cheers. Dlohcierekim 15:01, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for being so honest.

I'm sorry, but as you devised the thing and are it's only speaker, it does not meet notability requirements for an encyclopedia article. Looks like it was already deleted by another admin. Don't feel bad. My first article was deleted too. Let me know if I can help you in any way. Cheers, Dlohcierekim 21:53, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
