Welcome!

Hello, TheReformedGuy, 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 Post A Article, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may soon be deleted.

Speedy deletion nomination of Post A Article

A tag has been placed on Post A Article, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

It does not make much sense and it looks like a test article.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), 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. 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.

Please note that even if the copyright issue were resolved, the tone of material written for another purpose is likely to be unsuitable for an encyclopedia article, which requires a neutral point of view. Wikipedia is not a notice-board for advocacy or promotion of any kind.

Article subjects need to have notability, 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." There is good advice on how to write an acceptable article at WP:Your first article. JohnCD (talk) 16:35, 21 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
