Why John A Kelly was deleted

Hey there JJ2009. Your page was deleted because it didn't have any content - it had a title (John A Kelly) but nothing else. To stay on Wikipedia, a page has to have content and the subject of the article has to be notable. You may want to read Your first article to find out more about how to create article. If you need help, you can ask me on my talk page. FlyingToaster 02:04, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

Reply to your comment - JJ2009, you need to create an article with some content if you want it to not be deleted. Instead of pressing save pave, press "Preview" as you add content and good, notable sources to an article. Or, you can write your article in a sandbox and then move it over into a real page. Here is a sandbox you can use. But, if you create blank articles, they will get deleted again and again. FlyingToaster 02:27, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
