In connection with the above, it's necessary to warn you about two things:
  • Do not remove speedy deletion templates from pages you have created, as instructed by the template itself. This includes blanking the page.
  • We welcome your effort to contribute, but I'm afraid Wikipedia cannot accept copyrighted content. Unfortunately, even the back page or blurb of a book is likely under some form of restrictive licence that does not permit its reproduction without further permission. If you can show that the content is under a licence permitting its relicencing under the GPL, then please indicate this when contesting deletion.
Thank you for your cooperation. Angus Lepper(T, C, D) 19:23, 8 July 2007 (UTC)Reply
That's Ok that you didn't know about that rule, oddly enough I also made that mistake a few days ago. A lot of these things you learn from mistakes & experience and not the "hard to understand manual of using wikipedia".

Speedy deletion of Dean Evanson edit

 

A tag has been placed on Dean Evanson requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

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 (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.

Dean Evanson edit

 

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Dean Evanson, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. 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. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. 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. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add {{db-author}} to the top of Dean Evanson.
