User talk:Octanesque
A tag has been placed on The Randazzo Sherman Theory, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under 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.
Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}} to the article and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

Speedy deletion of Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/The Randazzo Sherman Theory
[edit]The reason your article was deleted was because if failed several of Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion. Firstly, there were no references cited to verify the information. Secondly, it did not even explain who "Randazzo" and "Sherman" are, meaning it had insufficient context and thus subject to speedy deletion. Also, there was no evidence of coverage in reliable third party sources as required by general notability guideline. Responding to the deletion by telling people they "suck" or insinuating they are stupid will not change any of this. If you honestly believe the article should not have been deleted, you can pursue deletion review, but without sources it is extremely unlikely that course of action would result in the article being undeleted. You can also ask the deleting administrator to make a copy of the deleted article available to you so that you may work on it in your userspace until it is ready to be published.
