If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}}
to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 14:50, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

editWelcome to Wikipedia. Please do not replace pages with blank content, as you did with this edit to Junior Debating Competition, as this is confusing to readers. The page's content has been restored for now. If there is a problem with the page, it should be edited or reverted to a previous version if possible; if you think the page should be removed entirely, see further information. Thank you. —Entropy (T/C) 23:28, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

editHey Melikepirates (love the username by the way!) I didn't speedy delete Junior Schools Debating, but I did start a discussion on what to do about it at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Junior Schools Debating. My concern is that the article lacks reliable sources that are independent from the topic of the article (i.e. not made by the group). To be included in Wikipedia, all content needs to be referenced from a reliable source like a newspaper, journal, book, news site, etc. (Otherwise maliscious editors--belive me, there are many--could add bogus junk). So you see what I mean, if a good souce for each fact in the article can't be found, the fact should be taken out. Anyway, you can participate in the discussion if you want. Leave me a message on my talk page if you have any questions or want to discuss anything. Peace, delldot ∇. 00:37, 18 December 2012 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (File:Junior Debating.jpg)
editThanks for uploading File:Junior Debating.jpg. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).
If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'file' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "File" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. Hazard-Bot (talk) 04:38, 13 January 2013 (UTC)
