  Welcome to Wikipedia. Please do not remove speedy deletion tags from pages that you have created yourself, as you did with Gooey Butter Cookies.. If you do not believe the page should be deleted, then please place {{hangon}} on the page (please do not remove any existing speedy deletion tag) and make your case on the page's talk page. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you. Funeral 21:55, 2 February 2008 (UTC)Reply
