| For your bold effort in creating the article You didn't build that before it was changed into a redirect page, I hereby present to you this barnstar. May it guide you in your continued edits on articles woes subjects relate to conservatism, and bring neutrality to those articles tainted with liberal bias.

I saw that you're working on a Lil Bub article. I can't believe we don't have one yet! It looks good. Do you have a photo? If not, let me know and I'll upload something. Pburka (talk) 04:09, 4 May 2013 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Ben Lashes
The article Ben Lashes has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Speedy deletion nomination of Bug-a-Salt
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 Bug-a-Salt, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Misplaced Pages:FAQ/Organizations for more information.
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 "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 deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Misplaced Pages's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.
