Welcome!

Hello, Jamk9, and welcome to Misplaced Pages! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, like James M.

Speedy deletion of "James M. Kirkpatrick"

A page you created, James M. Kirkpatrick, has been tagged for deletion, as it meets one or more of the criteria for speedy deletion; specifically, it is about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how they are important or significant, and thus why they should be included in an encyclopedia. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and the guidelines for biographies in particular.

You are welcome to contribute content which complies with our content policies and any applicable inclusion guidelines. However, please do not simply re-create the page with the same content. You may also wish to read our introduction to editing and guide to writing your first article.

Thank you.  Ronhjones  17:30, 11 October 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of James M. Kirkpatrick

A tag has been placed on James M. Kirkpatrick requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, 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 see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

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 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 Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Letsvidz

I am in the process of creating the page Letsvidz, please bear with me as I am new at creating pages. I would appreciate it very much, if it is not deleted.

Re: Deletion of Letsvidz

Re your message: When you removed all of the content, the article fell under criteria G7 of the speedy deletion criteria. However, you can recreate the article whenever you are ready. Just recreate the article in the same spot with whatever content you have ready. One thing you can do is create the article within your user space at User:Jamk9/Letsvidz, for example, work on it at your own pace and then move it into main space when you are done. If you create the article in your user space, you shouldn't have to worry about it being deleted while you work on it. -- Gogo Dodo (talk) 02:50, 17 January 2010 (UTC)

User:Jamk9/Letsvidz

I am looking for help! Ask your question below. You can also check Help:Contents and the FAQ, or ask at the Help desk or the Teahouse. Users who monitor the category Wikipedians looking for help and those in Misplaced Pages's Live Help have been alerted and will assist you shortly. You can also join the chat room to receive live Misplaced Pages-related help there. You'll be receiving help soon, so don't worry. Note to helpers: Once you have offered help, please nullify the template using {{Tl}} or similar, replace with {{Help me-helped}}, or where {{Help me|question}} was used, use {{Tlp}}/{{Tnull}}

Could someone please visit User:Jamk9/Letsvidz and tell me if it meets the criteria for an article, and if not, please tell me what I can do to fix it. I have already tried to create this article, but it got deleted, so I created it on my user page. I am new to Misplaced Pages and would very much appreciate this. Thank you for your time, Jamk9 (talk) 17:47, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
