Hey - I'm also quite new, so I don't know how much help I will be, but I've had a similar problem, I think you haven't explained in enough detail why this guy is notable (see [[1]] for details). Hope this helps.--ScribbleStick (talk) 09:14, 30 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Hello and thank you for the message I looked at the content and perhaps the problems is I do not know how to "set up" this article properly? concerning (an)drew madinc. or [[2]] Can you help? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Theother1986 (talk • contribs) 09:39, 30 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Hey, I'll try cleaning it up a bit for you (I doubt it will stop the deletion from going to the next level). Just so you know, it's customary to add --~~~~ to the end of you post on talkpage (it leaves your name and the time/date).
thank you again I hope this "signing works" cheers really I appreciate it!--Theother1986 (talk) 10:22, 30 April 2009 (UTC)
Perfect! Now the next piece of Wiki convention is that you try to keep a conversation on the same page (It means somebody else can easily follow the conversation without having to go back and forth). Generally speaking the conversation goes on the page it was started on (in this case yours - plus I've already been adding the conversation as we go along). To make sure I know you have left a message on your page go to my page and post {{tb|Theother1986}} which will leave a message saying
Hello, Theother1986, 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, like (AN)drew Madinc. (visual painter), may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for page creation, and may soon be deleted.
There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. 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 this page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), 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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Hello, you used the {{helpme}} tag but you did not post a question. Please write out your question and when you are done, place back the tag. I or someone else will be along to help. Alternatively, you can join the #wikipedia-en-helpIRC help channel to get real-time assistance. (Click here for instant access).
Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( ~~~~ ) at the end of your comment. If you can't type the tilde character, you should click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you! --SineBot (talk) 10:10, 30 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Hiya. I've reinserted the speedy delete tags on the article, as they should be left for an admin to decide if it meets the speedy delete criteria or not. Quantpole (talk) 11:38, 30 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Yes thank you however I am horrible at grammar, and it needs to be cleaned up. Hopefully someone that has the time will clean it up a bit before (an)drew madinc. "runs" into it. Thank you again--Theother1986 (talk) 12:39, 30 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
