- The article has been nominated for deletion under the WP:Articles for deletion process and will not ordinarily be deleted in under a week. You can improve the article in this time. You can also post to the deletion discussion linked to in the notice above to explain why you think the article should remain. In the mean time please do not remove the afd template from the article while improving it as this could stop people that would otherwise want to keep or help improve the article to miss it.

Speedy deletion nomination of Template:Minerals by State
edit
A tag has been placed on Template:Minerals by State requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section T3 of the criteria for speedy deletion because it is a deprecated or orphaned template. After seven days, if it is still unused and the speedy deletion tag has not been removed, the template will be deleted.
If the template is intended to be substituted, please feel free to remove the speedy deletion tag and please consider putting a note on the template's page indicating that it must be substituted so as to avoid any future mistakes (<noinclude>{{substituted}}</noinclude>).
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, 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. 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. Mercurywoodrose (talk) 05:27, 16 September 2011 (UTC)
