==Your new pages==
Hi. I have "moved" (changed the title of) your page to "Cloud Integration" - you had mis-spelled it "Clould". Please note that it is usually better to wait to put an article into the encyclopedia until you have enough material, including references, to make it clear that it is a serious contribution. The "underconstruction" tags will only protect them for a few days. You can find good advice in the guide to writing [[WP:YFA|Your First Article]]. Regards, [[User:JohnCD|JohnCD]] ([[User talk:JohnCD|talk]]) 21:35, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

Hello John - thank you for pointing out the error. I will complete the article shortly. I wasn't clear from the First Article tutorial on how to save before it was made public. Thank you. [[User:Markcowan|Markcowan]] ([[User talk:Markcowan|talk]]) 22:09, 14 February
*You can always make yourself a [[WP:Userpage|user page]] or pages to work in - e.g. I have [[User:JohnCD/Sandbox]].

Revision as of 03:18, 22 April 2009

A tag has been placed on First Spike Business Operating Services 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 a company or corporation, 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, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for companies and corporations.

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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. ttonyb1 (talk) 02:15, 22 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
