- The problem in a nutshell ...
A new editor creates a "work in progress" article that gets tagged for WP:Speedy deletion by Some Other Editor as part of their WP:New pages patrol activities ... when the author returns the next day and the article has been deleted, their only clue is the courtesy warning message left by the editor who tagged it, so they become the author's first point of contact to find out WTF happened.
Specific protocols for common A7 speedy deletions[edit]
The criteria for speedy deletion (CSD) defines A7 as follows:
No indication of importance/significance. An article about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content that does not indicate why its subject is important or significant.

Hello, 141.156.217.11 ... since you participated in this CfD, I wonder if you would care to comment on this posting at WP:COI/N regarding the plethora of unsourced articles created by ArleArt (talk · contribs) to populate this category that they created ... Happy Editing! —72.75.72.63 (talk · contribs) 18:01, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
Testing alert templates with (People)[edit]
 Wikipedia articles must be based on reliable sources to verify any claims of notability. Even though the lack of reliable source attribution in an article is not grounds for deletion in itself, an article with absolutely no sources (or only external links to unreliable ones) suggests to some editors that multiple reliable sources may not, in fact, exist. Although I am considering tagging this article for deletion according to the Deletion policy, I am nonetheless willing to assist User:Lynn Huggins - Cooper (talk · contribs), and other recent contributors to this article, to make constructive improvements to it ... I do not have time to examine this article in depth at the moment, and it may improve over time, in which case this warning was premature. Please respond on this Discussion page, instead of on my Talk page, in order to avoid fragmenting the conversation. —72.75.72.63 (talk) 13:57, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
Flagging Lynn Huggins-Cooper for further review[edit]Hello, 141.156.217.11 … I recently encountered the article about Lynn Huggins-Cooper and in my opinion, it either lacks sufficient Attribution that it satisfies the Notability criteria for Biographies, or it may violate the Conflict of interest guideline, or perhaps it violates a copyright. I am considering tagging Lynn Huggins-Cooper (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) for deletion according to the Deletion policy … I do not have time to examine the article in depth at the moment, and it may improve over time, in which case this warning was premature. I have created this initial entry on your Talk page because you are either the original author of the article, or else a recent contributor to it; I will leave more detailed information regarding my specific concerns about the article on its Discussion page … please respond either there or on this Talk page, instead of on my Talk page, in order to avoid fragmenting the conversation. I do not mean to imply that your contribution is unappreciated … perhaps you should read Your first article … and remember, there was a time when I knew less about how Wikipedia works than you know right now, and I am always available to help you become a more proactive contributor. —72.75.72.63 (talk) 13:57, 4 February 2008 (UTC) Anon-sig template[edit]Whoa ... Template:Anon-sig ... why did it take me so long? Happy Editing! — 141.156.217.11 (talk) 08:36, 18 February 2008 (UTC) |
