Speedy deletion nomination of Politicalchronology 1990s edit

 

A tag has been placed on Politicalchronology 1990s requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, a rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. 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. You may wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

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.

STOP edit

Please stop creating new articles and moving existing articles related to those being discussed at AfD. It is extremely annoying. -- Scjessey (talk) 12:10, 25 January 2010 (UTC)Reply

Hello Carl, I believe that rather than creating unfinished pages (which need a lot of copyediting and which contain comments from you) directly as articles, you should create them as user supbages and work on them until they are ready to "go live". Of course, this is no guarantee that a page doesn't get deleted because of its contents or lack of relevance, but at least that way they don't get deleted for "not being articles" when created.
