Why is my page about Jeff Decker being attacked by the Wikipedia team?

It's really not a fair characterization to describe the article as being attacked, or inferring some opposition team. To every observation I have made to this article, everything is in full accordance with policy and guidelines. The editor who tagged the article for deletion believed it qualified under a policy for handling subjects which fail to meet notability guidelines. The Administrator who would have deleted the article, determined that the subject did not qualify for deletion and removed the tag. So as it stands, the article is not being considered for deletion.

Good to know. It felt like an immediate attack just because I am getting used to the way wikipedia is setup. I actually do not feel attacked now as people have done a good job of explaining the things I did wrong and are helping me to not repeat those mistakes in the future. Like for instance I know now to create the page in my user space before making it live and to make sure to cite references before publishing it. All of these are lessons I have learned and will help me in the future when creating pages. Labcoatmedia (talk) 05:50, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

• There is a response to this question additionally on the talk page of the article. The article was previously deleted as an A7 CSD, then quickly recreated, again lacking indication of significance and importance and tagged appropriately. Before the second administrator addressed the A7 deletion, content to the article, along with supporting references was appropriately added. The second administrator then appropriately declined the A7 CSD. Please know that no one is trying to attack you. We are sincerely happy to have you here! Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have questions in the future or come across anything that you don't understand. Best regards, Cind.amuse 06:00, 3 March 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Jeff Decker

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.

A tag has been placed on Jeff Decker 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, organization (band, club, company, etc.) or web content, 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.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), 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. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Visik (talk) 03:34, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
