Speedy deletion nomination of Car house

Hello Gedgmoss,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Car house for deletion, because it's too short to identify the subject of the article.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Jianhui67 (talk) 12:49, 2 August 2013 (UTC)

== Retford king edward vi grammar school moved to draftspace ==

An article you recently created, Retford king edward vi grammar school, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Hello, very sorry, but I've read the suggested document, in fact I had already, and many of it's subsiduary links, but still not clear exactly what is still required.

I have more links to add, but reluctant to do so if I have not addressed you previous concerns? I'd like to get the basics right first. Sorry for being a slow learner!
