Welcome to Wikipedia, MassFavonia. I noticed that you nominated Rachel Rinehart for speedy deletion. Please note that you must place the template at the top of the article, and not replace the content with the template, per WP:SPEEDY. This particular article meets criterion A7 - Person. However, the reason that you added in your template is not constructive and should be removed. Please refrain from such nonconstructive edits in the future.

CSD tags

Do not place speedy deletion tags on an article until you have read WP:CSD. →Στc. 23:30, 29 March 2012 (UTC)Reply

If I could step in here as well—I've noticed that you've been a bit quick with speedy deletion tags. Remember to select the most accurate criterion; they're all explained at WP:CSD. You tagged at least one article for vandalism, when the page was really a messy copy-paste that would have been better tagged with the G12 criterion. While both types of edits are serious problems, we need to make sure that the editors who made them understand exactly what they did wrong. Also, try to use the specific CSD templates listed on the WP:CSD page—it is best to avoid custom templates as you've used them so we don't begin deleting articles that actually comply with policies. Last, remember this: speedy deletion should only be used for egregious violations of policy. Think about whether it's really necessary before tagging. Good luck.
