Speedy deletion nomination of User:CBowles

A tag has been placed on User:CBowles requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section U5 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to consist of writings, information, discussions, and/or activities not closely related to Wikipedia's goals. Please note that Wikipedia is not a free Web hosting service. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. —☮JAaron95 ^Talk 11:21, 18 September 2015 (UTC)

Contested deletion

This page should not be speedily deleted because it's a new user page, being edited as part of a training session delivered by a Wikipedian in Residence, for an editathon taking place this afternoon. Lirazelf (talk) 11:24, 18 September 2015 (UTC)

I agree; I've removed the speedy deletion tag accordingly. Apologies to @CBowles for the inconvenience of this! Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 11:37, 18 September 2015 (UTC)

Welcome!

Hello, CBowles! Thank you so much for taking part in the Glasgow School of Art Archives editathon!

Now that we've gotten started, I hope that you'll stay logged in and have a go at editing some more articles. If you're not feeling bold enough to write an(other) article straight away, why not try a small edit first, or adding a link? Don't worry about being perfect, Wiki is a constantly evolving entity. Fortunately there's a whole team of editors just like you who can help.

Welcome! Now have some cake...

You can't break Wikipedia, but in case you're still nervous here are some pages that you might find helpful:

• Getting Started guide for Galleries, Libraries, Archives & Museums
• Is your topic notable enough for an article?
• Be Bold!
• Don't let grumpy users scare you off.
• Learn from others
• How to write a great article
• A simplified manual of style

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Remember, if you are writing on a talk page, please sign your name using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date.

If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Questions, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}} on your talk page and ask your question there. See you soon!
