July 2007[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia. An article you recently created, Colon open bracket, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for new articles, so it will shortly be removed (if it hasn't been already). Please use the sandbox for any tests you may want to do and please read our introduction page to learn more about contributing. Thank you.

A tag has been placed on Colon open bracket, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag) and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. — Coren ^(talk) 06:02, 7 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not remove speedy deletion notices from articles you have created yourself, as you did with Colon open bracket. Please use the {{hangon}} template on the page instead if you disagree with the deletion. Thank you. — Coren ^(talk) 06:18, 7 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Peas stop. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did to User:Se0siris, you will be blocked from editing. — Coren ^(talk) 23:30, 7 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies. Martinyearly is very sorry about the recent vandalism to Wikipedia and User:Se0siris. He has been blocked from editing but hopes this is not permanent. Martinyearly 04:47, 8 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Orange Wednesdays[edit]

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Orange Wednesdays, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

no evidence this is a notable advertising campaign; and Wikipedia should WP:NOT be advertisement medium

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. -- The Red Pen of Doom 20:43, 24 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
