[edit]

Hello, KurtCobain4ever, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions.

I notice that one of the first articles you created appears to be an article about yourself. This is a common mistake made by new Wikipedians—as this is an encyclopedia, we wouldn't expect to have an article about every contributor. Your user page, however, is a great place to write about yourself, making sure to stay within user page guidelines. Just click your user name at the top of the screen when you are logged in, and edit it normally.

The page you created about yourself has been or will shortly be speedily deleted from Wikipedia, but if you want to use the content from it, don't hesitate to ask anyone from this list and they will copy it to your user page.

If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

Welcome!

Hello, KurtCobain4ever, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Kurt Egan, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may soon be deleted.

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article.

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 Kurt Egan 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, organization (band, club, company, etc.) or web content, 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.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but 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 yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. →Στc. 05:52, 27 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Removing Speedy at Kurt Egan

[edit]

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thanks for taking the time to contribute.

I'm a bot designed by another Wikipedia editor, and I'm here to help you with our deletion process. I noticed that while working on an article recently, you removed a speedy deletion template that tagged it for deletion. Don't get discouraged! Deletion discussions happen on Wikipedia all the time.

If you don't want the article to get deleted, please click here.

The link will take you to the talk page, where you can explain why the article should be kept. If you have any questions about this or need help with editing, you can ask at the Help desk.

We really hope you'll stick around to help make Wikipedia better! Thank you, - SDPatrolBot (talk) 05:58, 27 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not remove speedy deletion notices from pages you have created yourself, as you did with Kurt Egan. If you believe the page should not be deleted, you may contest the deletion by clicking on the button that says: Click here to contest this speedy deletion, which appears inside the speedy deletion notice. This will allow you to make your case on the article's talk page. Administrators will consider your reasoning before deciding what to do with the article. Thank you. - SDPatrolBot (talk) 06:02, 27 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Removing Speedy at Kurt Egan

[edit]

This is your last warning. The next time you remove a speedy deletion notice from a page you have created yourself, as you did at Kurt Egan, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. - SDPatrolBot (talk) 06:10, 27 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

If you've written a question somewhere and I've missed it forgive me, but I moved the {{help me}} template to the bottom of the talk page, and if you type your question below we'll be able to help. :) - SudoGhost 08:26, 27 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I guess your question is about why your article was deleted and why you got all those warning messages.
Your article was deleted because, although it is neatly presented, it give no indication why Kurt Egan is important or significant enough to have an article in an encyclopedia. Wikipedia is selective about subjects: they have to be notable, which is not a matter of opinion but has to be demonstrated by showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." The test is, have people independent of the subject thought it significant enough to write substantial comment about?
For musical performers, the standard is explained at WP:MUSICBIO. Being related to someone notable does not give notability, because it is WP:NOTINHERITED.
The warning messages are because you are not allowed to remove speedy deletion templates from your own article. That is clearly explained in the notices you got - it is important to read messages on your talk page carefully.
I think it likely that you are Kurt Egan. There are many sites like Myspace where you can write about yourself, but Wikipedia is different. Even where someone is notable, writing about oneself is strongly discouraged, for reasons explained at Wikipedia:Autobiography. The links in the Welcome message at the top of this page will tell you more about Wikipedia; also, I think your should read Wikipedia:Guidance for younger editors.
