Incessant Speedy Deletions

This article has existed for about three seconds before being nominated for "speedy deletion". It is about a notable Australian economist (as would be obvious to anybody reading the article before nominating it for deletion). The reason it is not seven pages long is that it has not existed for long enough. In fact, i have been looking for the "under construction" tag code for the last ten minutes, but i keep getting INTERRUPTED by speedy deletion nominations; the article had not even existed for long enough for me to track down the tag!!! What are you, a bunch of bots? Dissembly (talk) 01:20, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

No. The user who placed those tags is brand new herself, and trying to help, but doesn't know that sometimes it's helpful to wait a few minutes to see what an article will be. However, when creating a new article, it's wise to have, at least, enough information to clearly explain what the subject is and why it's important, and at least one reliable source- new page patrollers check all new articles, and it's helpful for them if there's at least a basic article created. Many of us create articles in our own userspace until they're ready to post. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 01:28, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

I apologize, I also did remove the tag after noticing you were trying to make something of the article the second time I saw it. Byeitical (talk) 01:31, 17 August 2008 (UTC)

I'm sorry, i would like to apologise as well; i got a bit frustrated and should have been much more polite than i was just then. This is my first article; i should have had the under construction tag ready from the beginning. Dissembly (talk) 01:44, 17 August 2008 (UTC)
