Thank you.

A tag has been placed on Dele Momodu, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be unambiguous advertising that only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add {{hangon}} on the top of Dele Momodu and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from independent reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. De728631 (talk) 14:41, 29 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

Thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test worked, and the page that you created has been or soon will be deleted. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. You may also 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.

thanks. Olayinkaoyeleye (talk) 16:29, 29 July 2010 (UTC)Reply

The article Dele Momodu was unambiguously promoting Dele Momodu. It was clearly designed to tell us how wonderful he was. From start to finish it was written to plug a particular subjective point of view, containing such language as "has publicized the best of Africa by promoting Africa in its glory and Africans in their grandeur". It did not give any indication that he has any objective significance and did not give any sources for its claims. However, I accept that sometimes articles, especially those written by newcomers to editing Wikipedia, do not do a good job of indicating notability even though notability exists, and so I have not just worked from what was in the article, but have also done my own searches for information about Dele Momodu. Virtually all of what I found was, like the Wikipedia article, promotional material. It does not seem to me that the subject satisfies Wikipedia's notability criteria, and if that is the case then any further effort on the article is likely to be a waste of time, as it will probably be deleted again. However, you have asked me to email the text of the article to you so that you can work on it, and I am willing to do so if you still want me to. You can enable email in Wikipedia by following the "my preferences" link at the top of the page. When you have done so, let me know on my talk page, and I will email the text to you.
