Your contributed article, Gardiol enclave

If 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.
Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Gardiol enclave. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Vivaro-Alpine dialect. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Vivaro-Alpine dialect. If you have new information to add, you might want to discuss it at the article's talk page.
If you think the article you created should remain separate, 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. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. – Train2104 (t • c) 01:30, 2 May 2017 (UTC)
Hi Katherine. I've recently deleted this article for the reasons indicated when it was tagged for Speedy Deletion (namely, that it was largely a duplication of the existing article on Vivaro-Alpine dialect without any significant additional information being added). I understand this article was created due to a class you're taking, so please feel free to reply either here or on my Talk page and I'll be happy to give you a copy of the code of the article, as that may be important for your assessment.
The usual process with adding information to an article on Wikipedia is to do so in the existing article itself where possible. If - at a later date - the dialect as spoken in this particular village has enough information on it to justify being "spun out" from the main article on the dialect, that can be done at that time. That's usually a process requiring consensus from a number of editors, though.
Again, please feel free to respond either here or on my Talk page if you have any further concerns about this. I've got your Talk page on my watchlist, so I'll see a response in either location. BigHaz - Schreit mich an 06:28, 2 May 2017 (UTC)
