No worries. Normally a few redlinks are OK, but if you look at the history of that page, you'll see it was a sort of abandoned effort to document the art scene in Portland and the redlinks were there forever. Also lots of people try to write articles about themselves and put them in the article, as you can see in the warning that someone put at the top of the page that appears when you have the edit window open. I agree that the article right now is pretty sparse. Please do try to write some articles--I can help you edit them if they need it. There's a dedicated group of us working on Oregon stuff, and also a Portland group, so be sure to ask any of us if you need help. Happy editing! Katr67 00:38, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
- Hiya. I think I saved your Tom Cramer article from deletion. Let me know if need help with anything else and thanks for working on that poor neglected list! Katr67 18:24, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks again for creating some much-needed articles. Could you please review the article form and style guidelines above? That will help your articles not get tagged with cleanup tags and help save them from getting deleted. The most basic things articles need are an encyclopedic lead with context (say what the thing is), bold the article title, provide some references, and try to find some categories to put them in, even if it's just Category:Portland, Oregon. Thanks! Katr67 21:41, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
Notability of Terri M. Hopkins
edit
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Terri M. Hopkins, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Terri M. Hopkins seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Terri M. Hopkins, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Speedy deletion of "Rock's Box"
editA page you created, Rock's Box, has been tagged for deletion in accordance with our deletion policy. In particular, it meets one or more criteria for speedy deletion; the relevant criterion is:
- No indication of importance/significance. An article about a real person, group of people, band, club, company, organisation, or web content that does not indicate why its subject is important or significant.
Wikipedia has certain standards for inclusion that all articles must meet. Certain types of article must establish the notability of their subject by asserting its importance or significance. Additionally, since Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, content inappropriate for an encyclopedia, or content that would be more suited to somewhere else (such as a directory or social networking website) is not acceptable. See What Wikipedia is not for the relevant policy.
You are welcome to contribute content which complies with our content policies and any applicable inclusion guidelines. However, please do not simply re-create the page with the same content. You may also wish to read our introduction to editing and guide to writing your first article.
If you have any questions, please contact an administrator for assistance. Thank you FastLizard4 (Talk•Index•Sign) 02:11, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
A tag has been placed on Rock's Box, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. 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.
Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}} to the article and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

I have done so, but entry was deleted before it was notated with a "hangon". Also, the actual article I created seems to have gone into limbo, there was even a notable reference ie: http://www.portlandmercury.com/portland/Content?oid=500038&category=34029 --Gungnir PDX (talk) 02:39, 28 January 2008 (UTC)
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Matt McCormick, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://www.rodeofilmco.com. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences.
This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 01:12, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
The article Cris Moss has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- unsupported WP:BLP and not notable with only trivial mentions in citations
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles 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 article 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. —EncMstr (talk) 07:21, 29 January 2014 (UTC)
