Rserrell
Hi there, I am new to wikilinks and so am not sure I am doing this correctly but here goes... : ) I was making edits to The Barrow Group wikipedia page, I was adding more references b/c there was a box at the top with a stop sign that said the article needed more references. I thought I was adding references correctly (links from around the web)-- was I supposed to be adding only references from other wikipedia articles, was this why it was deleted? If you are able to, please undelete it as I was trying to improve the reliability of the Barrow Group article, not get it deleted. Please advise. Thanks! Rserrell (talk)Robert Serrell (my email is [email protected] if you need to contact me that way).

Speedy deletion nomination of The Barrow Group
editIf 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 The Barrow Group 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 an organization or company, 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, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, 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.
