Speedy deletion nomination of Boy with Goose
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 Boy with Goose requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.
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. ∙:∙:.:pepper:.:∙:∙ 20:37, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
- Hi. We don't do "watch-this-space" articles - even a stub needs to have some meaningful content, and articles which do not are speedily deleted under WP:CSD#A1 (not enough context to identify subject) or WP:CSD#A3 (no substantive content). You should wait to post an article until you have enough material to put in it; if you wish you can prepare a draft in your user space before moving it to the main encyclopedia. See Help:Userspace draft for how to do that. If you haven't already, I recommend you to read Wikipedia:Your first article. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 21:00, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
