Proposed deletion of Tropical depression urduja

edit
 

The article Tropical depression urduja has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No evidence of notability (see WP:NOTNEWS)

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Jimmy Pitt talk 12:58, 15 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

  Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed content from The Beauty Prize. When removing content, please specify a reason in the edit summary and discuss edits that are likely to be controversial on the article's talk page. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the content has been restored, as you can see from the page history. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you.

Speedy deletion nomination of Djniño Alarin

edit
 

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Djniño Alarin requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), 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. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. bonadea contributions talk 10:45, 16 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

Articles about yourself

edit

Please do not create articles about yourself. Wikipedia articles can only be about notable people (or things), which means that newspapers, magazines or books must already have written about them. Your user page is where you can write a little about yourself, but you should be very careful and not write any details about your identity, your family or where you live. Thank you very much, and happy editing! --bonadea contributions talk 08:07, 17 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

  Welcome to Wikipedia. The recent edit you made to 2010 Pacific typhoon season has been reverted, as it appears to have removed content from the page without explanation. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thank you.

  This is your last warning; the next time you vandalize Wikipedia, you may be blocked from editing without further notice. Jason Rees (talk) 01:11, 19 December 2010 (UTC)Reply

  • Jason is absolutely correct - your edits have become disruptive and if you make one more edit like that, you will be blocked from editing. - KrakatoaKatie 01:52, 19 December 2010 (UTC)Reply
