Speedy deletion nomination of Corvette Restoration

A tag has been placed on Corvette Restoration, 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 unambiguous 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. 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), 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. _Will^dow (Talk) 11:21, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from Corvette Restoration, a page you have created yourself. If you do not believe the page should be deleted, you can place a {{hangon}} tag on the page, under the existing speedy deletion tag (please do not remove the speedy deletion tag), and make your case on the page's talk page. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you. 152.16.16.75 (talk) 11:29, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

The article David Steele (Searacer), which you created, consists purely of user talk-page messages which you have moved from here, and is not remotely suitable as an encyclopedia article. It has therefore been nominated for criteria for speedy deletion. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content. You may wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard. I am restoring the material you moved to here, in case you wish to keep it. You are welcome to delete it if you like, but please do not place it in an article again: it belongs only in a user talk page. JamesBWatson (talk) 12:31, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

Please note that the purpose of a user page is not as personal homepage or used as a general webhosting service, but as way for active editors of Wikipedia to introduce themselves to other editors. You may find more about user pages in the user page guidelines. JamesBWatson (talk) 12:40, 18 January 2010 (UTC)

David Steele Searacer

A tag has been placed on David Steele Searacer, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a redirect to a nonexistent page.

If you can fix this redirect to point to an existing Wikipedia page, please do so and remove the speedy deletion tag. However, please do not remove the speedy deletion tag unless you also fix the redirect. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

1. Moving your user talk page to Talk:David Steele Searacer was inappropriate. The type of messages it contains relate to a user, not to an article.
2. You should wait for others to write an article about subjects in which you are personally involved. 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.

3. Please refrain from introducing inappropriate pages to Wikipedia. Doing so is not in accordance with our policies. For more information about creating articles, you may want to read Wikipedia:Your first article; you might also consider using the Article Wizard. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. You have repeatedly introduced articles about yourself, under the titles David Steele (Searacer) and David Steele Searacer. They have been deleted, and you created David Steele Searacer again. Continually creating inappropriate articles after tehy have been deleted without addressing the issues that led to deletion is not acceptable, and may eventually lead to being blocked from editing.

4.There is no evidence at all that you satisfy Wikipedia's notability criteria, and as long as that is the case we cannot have an article about you. Consequently David Steele Searacer has once again been nominated for for speedy deletion. JamesBWatson (talk) 13:08, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
