Speedy deletion of "David Wong (author)"
editA page you created, David Wong (author), has been tagged for deletion, as it meets one or more of the criteria for speedy deletion; specifically, it is about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how they are important or significant, and thus why they should be included in an encyclopedia. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and the guidelines for biographies in particular.
You are welcome to contribute content which complies with our content policies and any applicable inclusion guidelines. However, please do not simply re-create the page with the same content. You may also wish to read our introduction to editing and guide to writing your first article.
Thank you. WadeSimMiser (talk) 19:47, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
January 2009
editWelcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from David Wong (author), 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. Terraxos (talk) 02:28, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
