User talk:Acheron girl

Hi, I'm Acheron Girl.

I'm always happy to create a page for you if the topic isn't here and if you don't have time to do so. If in one of my articles, I misspell or write something you know isn't true. Please let me know so I can fix it up.

Working on:Acheron Parthenopaeus - simply because they have no information. I have read almost the entire series, including Acheron's book, so I'm creating his page.

Welcome!

Speedy deletion nomination of Acheron (dark hunter)

A tag has been placed on Acheron (dark hunter) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content. You may wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

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. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 02:10, 21 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This could have been speedily deleted under CSD A10 - blatant fork. The guy is, in my view, more than adequately covered at Dark-Hunters#Acheron. If you really think a separate article is needed, raise the matter at talk:Dark-Hunters. All your edits remain available via your contributions history. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 19:34, 21 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Acheron Girl, the article you created (above) was deleted because it was a totally unreferenced essay and thus original research, as is this article. I understand your frustration but you cannot simply write essays on your favourite characters - articles must be referenced from reliable, third-party (independent) sources. Wikipedia does not publish original reasearch, neither is it your web host. Please feel free to browse the help pages, which are comprehensive and searchable. If you need further help, you can post a message on my talk page (see my signature). Thanks, Baffle gab1978 (talk) 03:16, 23 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Links

If you want to go on contributing to Wikipedia, you need to learn about wikilinks. When you looked at the Dark-Hunters article, it contained a link (which was red at the time) to Acheron (Dark-Hunter). So why did you create your article on a different title? The first sentence of your article should have been: "Acheron is a character in the Dark-Hunter series …" If you had done that, the article would probably never have received any deletion tag. How long would we have had to wait before you did this edit? — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 19:34, 21 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

You also need to learn about external links. Before you do anything else you should work on providing decent references in the Dark-Hunters article. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 19:39, 21 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
