Someone Keeps Deleting...!
[edit]Well, I make a start of an article, come back a few days later to add some more to it, and it's been deleted and no one leaves me a Talk telling me why it's been deleted; this is really starting to piss me off.
Also, I know longer have the link to the "Start an Article" page, can you please give me the URL.
Thanks,

- Hi there, I looked through the deletion log and found the article you were talking about, 3DML. It appears the reasons given for deletion were that the article had little or no context, and very little content, both of which are criteria for speedy deletion. Now, to avoid this, you should start your article on a user subpage, such as User:Mlauzon/3DML, and once it has enough content to at least be considered a stub, or when you think the article is ready, you can go ahead and move the content to the article-space at 3DML. Here's the guide on Help:Starting a new page, and another guide on Wikipedia:How to write a great article. I hope this helps! — TheKMantalk 18:31, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on P2PML, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia per speedy deletion criterion A1.
Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as an appropriate article, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is appropriate, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}}
on the top of the article and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}}
to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
