Speedy deletion nomination of Gihan Chanaka Jayatilaka

A tag has been placed on Gihan Chanaka Jayatilaka requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, a rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content. You may wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

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 - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon 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. 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.

May 2010

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from Gihan Chanaka Jayatilaka, a page you have created yourself. If you do not believe the page should be deleted, you can place a {{hangon}} tag on the page, under the existing speedy deletion tag (please do not remove the 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. Peasantwarrior (talk) 14:20, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

Removing Speedy at Gihan Chanaka Jayatilaka

Hi there Gihanchanaka! I saw that you added a {{hangon}} tag to a page which you created, Gihan Chanaka Jayatilaka. This is good, but in the process you removed the tag requesting deletion under CSD A3. Even though there is a hangon on the page, the deletion template should remain there. But don't worry, this doesn't mean that the page is going to get deleted. Make sure you edit the talk page of the page nominated for deletion, located at Talk:Gihan Chanaka Jayatilaka, administrators will look at your reason why the page should remain before they decide what to do. Thanks - SDPatrolBot (talk) 14:25, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

You should wait for others to write an article about subjects in which you are personally involved, instead of writing it yourself. This applies to articles about you, your achievements, your band, your business, your publications, your website, your relatives, and any other possible conflict of interest.

Creating an article about yourself is strongly discouraged. If you create such an article, it might be listed on articles for deletion. Deletion is not certain, but many feel strongly that you should not start articles about yourself. This is because independent creation encourages independent validation of both significance and verifiability. All edits to articles must conform to Wikipedia:No original research, Wikipedia:Neutral point of view, and Wikipedia:Verifiability.

If you are not "notable" under Wikipedia guidelines, creating an article about yourself may violate the policy that Wikipedia is not a personal webspace provider and would thus qualify for speedy deletion. If your achievements, etc., are verifiable and genuinely notable, and thus suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later. (See Wikipedia:Wikipedians with articles.) Thank you. JamesBWatson (talk) 15:50, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

About the article Nenasala

Hi,

Although it's small, I appreciate your effort to contribute to Wikipedia. However the section you have put is incorrect. Ideas actioned! is the motto of ICTA, and motto of Nenasala project is Global knowledge to the village. So I'm reverting the article to the old version.

Motto should go on the infobox. A separate section is not suitable for a motto, unless you're going to explain what it means. If you are a beginner, try and practice with doing some edits on the page Wikipedia:Sandbox.

Do your best to Wikipedia. Cheers!! --සමීර ශාකුන්තල | Sameera Shaakunthala (talk) 12:44, 21 June 2010 (UTC)
