Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on Toy forts and castles requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, images, a rephrasing of the title, a question that should have been asked at the help or reference desks, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. 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.
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 "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, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Hi Johanna As you can probably tell I am fairly new to Wikipedia. I started a page in my sandbox called Toy forts and Castles which I have added content to, including a photo of a toy fort which I just deleted (I was actually just trying to add a better photo). I also created a live page called Toy Forts and Castles which I left emply and thought that it would be ok to work in my sandbox until I was ready to add my content to the page. But it seems the two are now linked because I didn't add or delete a photo on the live page. I would very much appreciate any guidance you can give me. Many thanks Howenow12 (talk) 15:27, 8 August 2016 (UTC)
Hi Johanna So now I realize the speedy deletion refers to deleting the Toy Forts and Castles pages because it is empty, not the fact that I deleted a photo in my sandbox. So I guess my question is can I put the information I have so far into the Toy Forts and Castles page now? I reason I started it is because my father will be co-editing the page. Many thanks for your advice Howenow12 (talk) 15:59, 8 August 2016 (UTC)
Hi Johanna I am now ready to put my information into the empty page, can we save it from deletion please? Many thanks Howenow12 (talk) 16:44, 8 August 2016 (UTC)
