Welcome!

Hello, Heterochromia, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as BECAUSE (Conference), may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may not be retained.

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the Teahouse, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{help me}} on this page, followed by your question, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Questions or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome!  CASSIOPEIA(talk) 06:04, 31 December 2019 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of BECAUSE (Conference)

edit
 

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on BECAUSE (Conference), 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, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

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 deleted 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.

I have updated BECAUSE (Conference) with more citations and notability information. Deletion has been appealed. Heterochromia (talk) 20:28, 1 January 2020 (UTC)Reply

DYK for BECAUSE (conference)

edit

On 26 January 2020, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article BECAUSE (conference), which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that BECAUSE is the longest-running and largest conference for the bisexual community in the United States? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/BECAUSE (conference). You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, BECAUSE (conference)), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.
