Re: deleting article edit

Actually, I did not delete the article. Only administrators can delete articles, and I am not an admin. What I did was place a tag on the article saying that I thought the page should be deleted. The reason I did that was because your article did not say why that particular gang was special, or notable. For more information, you should read WP:NOTABILITY. That will explain what is required for a subject to have an article on Wikipedia. You may also what to read WP:FIRST, which gives some pointers on how to start an article. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask. J.delanoygabsadds 19:11, 19 June 2008 (UTC)Reply

Lost Boyz (Gang) edit

 

A tag has been placed on Lost Boyz (Gang), requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. 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.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}} to the article and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. ♦Tangerines♦·Talk 19:16, 19 June 2008 (UTC)Reply
