Speedy deletion nomination of Nicola Atkinson/NADFLY 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 Nicola Atkinson/NADFLY 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 band or musician, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

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 "Click here to 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 removed 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, you can place a request here. Gaijin42 (talk) 16:53, 11 March 2014 (UTC)Reply

Comment on User:Thomjack/sandbox edit

Quick comment on your NADFLY draft:

  • I've added a "Sandbox" template to top, which has a Submit button to put once you reach the point you feel it's potentially publishable and needs review.
  • You are currently footnoting to other Wikipedia articles, which is not done. Instead, please just wikilink the title terms. So if you mention Abraham Lincoln, don't footnote "<ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abraham_Lincoln</ref>", instead simply type [[Abraham Lincoln]] and it will appear as a clickable link: Abraham Lincoln.
  • To make section headings, use the coding like so "==Name of my section" and that will create a proper heading, and automatically create a table of contents for your article.

Hope this helps! But fundamentally, you need to absolutely ensure your draft meets WP:Notability if you want it to publish. Good luck! MatthewVanitas (talk) 20:36, 2 June 2014 (UTC)Reply

If your submission is not edited soon, it could be nominated for deletion. If you would like to attempt to save it, you will need to improve it.

You may request Userfication of the content if it meets requirements.

Your draft article, Draft:Nicola Atkinson/NADFLY edit

 

Hello, Thomjack. It has been over six months since you last edited your WP:AFC draft article submission, entitled "NADFLY".

The page will shortly be deleted. If you plan on editing the page to address the issues raised when it was declined and resubmit it, simply edit the submission and remove the {{db-afc}} or {{db-g13}} code. Please note that Articles for Creation is not for indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace.

If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you want to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by one of two methods (don't do both): 1) follow the instructions at WP:REFUND/G13, or 2) copy this code: {{subst:Refund/G13|Draft:Nicola Atkinson/NADFLY}}, paste it in the edit box at this link, and click "Save page". An administrator will in most cases undelete the submission.

Thanks for your submission to Wikipedia, and happy editing. HasteurBot (talk) 08:01, 11 April 2015 (UTC)Reply
