Speedy deletion nomination of RFO BASIC

edit
 

A tag has been placed on RFO BASIC, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done for the following reason:

it is a manual move of a declined AfC and has been tagged as pending out of the AfC namespace. Instead of improving the article, the author created it in the main name space depsite being declined.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not meet basic Wikipedia criteria may be deleted at any time.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but 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 yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. John F. Lewis (talk) 12:35, 16 August 2012 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of RFO Basic

edit
 

The article RFO Basic has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No indication of notability. Sources are either not independent or do not mention RFO basic.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.

  Thank you for your contributions. Please remember to mark your edits, such as your recent edits to Lac-Mégantic derailment, as "minor" only if they truly are minor edits. In accordance with Help:Minor edit, a minor edit is one that the editor believes requires no review and could never be the subject of a dispute. Minor edits consist of things such as typographical corrections, formatting changes or rearrangement of text without modification of content. Additionally, the reversion of clear-cut vandalism and test edits may be labeled "minor". Thank you. Taroaldo 05:50, 10 July 2013 (UTC)Reply
