Speedy deletion of Geoffrey Bell (Broadcaster)
edit
A tag has been placed on Geoffrey Bell (Broadcaster), requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate, such as at articles for deletion. Under the specified criteria, where an article has substantially identical content to that of an article deleted after debate, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.
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. A new name 2008 (talk) 15:48, 26 December 2008 (UTC)
- Please see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Geoffrey Bell (broadcaster) for reasons why this page was deleted. Then if you disagree with the decision to delete the article the way to handle it is to go to the Deletion Review page and give your reasons why the article should not have been deleted. Recreating an article deleted under Articles for deletion will only get the the article redeleted and protected so it can not be recreated. A new name 2008 (talk) 15:56, 26 December 2008 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from Geoffrey Bell (Broadcaster), a page you have created yourself. If you do not believe the page should be deleted, you can place a {{hangon}} tag on the page, under the existing speedy deletion tag (please do not remove the speedy deletion tag), and make your case on the page's talk page. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you. A new name 2008 (talk) 16:55, 26 December 2008 (UTC)
There's information on how to correctly start articles in Wikipedia here. I hope this helps. Please take the criteria for which your last attempt was highlighted as a sure area to improve before you attempt again. You may wish to create the article in your own [[User:Nztvfan/Geoffrey Bell (Broadcaster}|userspace]]. This will allow you to make revisions to the article to bring it to standard before introducing it to the encyclopedia. Thanks for your contributions, please leave me a note at my talk page if you have any questions. MattieTK 17:19, 26 December 2008 (UTC)
