Welcome!

Hello, Rollie74, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, like Lightning Pictures LLC, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for page creation, and may soon be deleted (if it hasn't already).

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article.

Speedy deletion of Lightning Pictures LLC

edit
 

A tag has been placed on Lightning Pictures LLC, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be blatant advertising which 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 guidelines on spam as well as Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information.

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), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the article or have a copy emailed to you.

  Please do not remove speedy deletion notices from pages you have created yourself, as you did with Lightning Pictures LLC. Please use the {{hangon}} template on the page instead if you disagree with the deletion. Thank you. Mr. Vernon (talk) 19:26, 24 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

  Please stop removing speedy deletion notices from pages that you have created yourself, as you did with Lightning Pictures LLC. If you continue, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Mr. Vernon (talk) 21:24, 24 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of Stephen Rollins

edit
 

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Stephen Rollins, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

Written either by subject or article or someone close to him (see talk page); inherent COI in article.

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. Mr. Vernon (talk) 21:37, 24 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

  You should wait for others to write an article about subjects in which you are personally involved, as you did at Stephen Rollins. 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. Mr. Vernon (talk) 21:37, 24 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

  Please stop adding inappropriate images to Wikipedia, as you did to File:LP Logo.jpg. If you continue, you will be blocked from editing. Mr. Vernon (talk) 21:49, 24 January 2009 (UTC)Reply

AfD nomination of Stephen Rollins

edit
 

I have nominated Stephen Rollins, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Stephen Rollins. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.
