Speedy deletion nomination of Colum-Bama, Back roads of Phoenix City/Columbus[edit]

Please refrain from introducing inappropriate pages, such as Colum-Bama, Back roads of Phoenix City/Columbus, to Wikipedia. Doing so is not in accordance with our policies. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox.

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.

December 2010[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from Colum-Bama, Back roads of Phoenix City/Columbus, 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. Jimmy Pitt talk 23:25, 9 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Swizenski, you are not allowed to remove a csd tag on a page that you have created. The hangon tag goes below the csd tag, not in place of it, and it is then up to you to demonstrate why the article should be kept. The best way is to provide references to some reliable sources to support what's in the article. Jimmy Pitt talk 23:29, 9 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
