Speedy deletion of Latymer 8Y edit

 

A tag has been placed on Latymer 8Y requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, "See also" section, book reference, category tag, template tag, interwiki link, rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. 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.

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 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. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Iain99Balderdash and piffle 12:38, 5 October 2008 (UTC)Reply


  • I did nominate it in spite of the fact that it said "THIS PAGE IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION. PLEASE DO NOT DELETE." because apart from that there was no content whatsoever. Please don't create useless pages like this as "placeholders" for things you might write later; you can of course still create the page when you have something to write. If it takes you a while to write even a basic article it might be best to write the text offline on a word processor first, of in a user subpage like this one first.
