Speedy deletion of Like:Name of page that does not exist yet

A tag has been placed on Like:Name of page that does not exist yet, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to have no meaningful content or history, and the text is unsalvageably incoherent. If the page you created was a test, please use the sandbox for any other experiments you would like to do. Feel free to leave a message on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

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.

Proposed deletion of Physics of brass

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Physics of brass, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

Original research

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

CSD nomination of Physics of string instruments

A tag has been placed on Physics of string instruments requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

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.

Passportguy (talk) 11:10, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

This is just ridiculous i have changed many of the sentences and written most of it in entirely my own words so all these obsene remarks upon why it should be speedily ridiculous are ridiculous and i am challenging it. i took several chunks of information from the site but have not copied any sentences and if you check the page and my page you will find many many many differences --Harrypotterfan386 (talk) 12:38, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

I wouldn't call Passportguy's remarks obscene or ridiculous. The problem wasn't a copyright violation, it was original research. Articles here also have to be verifiable and properly sourced. Your work, with all due respect, wasn't. That's why he tagged it. Anyway, as you may have noticed I redirected your article to Stamp_collecting#History. It's the same subject and it's well-sourced. Perhaps you want to add some content there? Thanks, Yintaɳ  13:37, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

Original research

Hello and thank you for contributing to Wikipedia. However most pages you add are likely to be deleted, as they are in violation of the WP:Original research policy. Only facts taken from reliable sourced should be added here, not self-researched facts or opinions. 11:12, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

Need some help?

Hello Harrypotterfan386,

By now i have seen you around all day creating article's, all of which seem to have been removed. While i agree with the page removal's, i disagree with the mass of warnings you received without any editor at least trying to explain (Other then with predefined templates) what is going on.

Due to its massive size, wikipedia has a lot of guidelines in place regarding article content. The most important ones can be read at WP:V, WP:N and WP:NOT. While there are others the majority of page removals are on the basis of these three guidelines. It might prove helpfull to at least skim over them in order to get an idea why some pages are removed.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask! You can both use my Talk page, or the helpdesk in case you some advice regarding editing wikipedia.

With kind regards, Excirial ^{(Contact me,Contribs)} 14:47, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

Hi Excerial. I don't want to be a Drama Queen or anything but please look again before you say nobody tried to explain things[1]... Yintaɳ  20:00, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
