Speedy deletion nomination of A Mediocre Time with Tom & Dan
edit
Please do not make statements attacking people or groups of people. Wikipedia has a strict policy against personal attacks. Attack pages and images are not tolerated by Wikipedia and are speedily deleted. Users who continue to create or repost such pages and images in violation of our biographies of living persons policy will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Thank you.
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 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.

Your question - "how can I get back to editing?"
editNo problem, you can just carry on and put the article in again. Some advice, though:
- Before you start again, read the guide to writing WP:Your first article. There's a lot of good advice there.
- Make sure your subject is notable enough to have a Wikipedia article. That's not a matter of opinion but needs to be demonstrated by showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject."
- Better not to hit "Save page" till you have got enough to make it clear it's going to be a serious article. We get a lot of silly one- and two-liners, and the volunteer New Page Patrol scans incoming articles (which arrive at a rate of more than one a minute) and tags ones that need attention. Your two lines looked like the sort of attack page we get too many of. One way to protect a half-finished article is to put {{underconstruction}} at the top (two curly brackets each side) which should protect it for a short time.
A last tip - in conversations on talk pages it helps to know who said what when, so you should end each post with four "tilde" characters ~~~~ which the system will convert into a "signature" with your usename and the time and date - like this: JohnCD (talk) 19:09, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
