Diane Houston

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Diane Houston 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 person or group of people, but it does not credibly 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 read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

You may want to move the article over to your sandbox while you improve it. We have fairly strict policies on biographies of living persons, and generally you need to have references that show why the person is notable before an article is warranted. If you like, you can move the article over to User:Jia0488/Sandbox and work on it there. UltraExactZZ Said ~ Did 16:19, 21 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Feel free to leave me a message on my talk page if you have questions, or just add {{helpme}} to this page and someone will assist you. Best, UltraExactZZ Said ~ Did 16:20, 21 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry - I didn't realize that there was a way to hold it as a draft in sandbox. Could someone let me know how to do so?

Done. Your draft article is now at User:Jia0488/Sandbox. You can continue to edit it and refine it and - most importantly - add reliable sources that show why the subject is notable. Once you've got it in good shape, have someone look at it and give you feedback. Then it can be moved back to the article space at its original title. Good luck.
