Speedy deletion of "Di-Sword"

A page you created, Di-Sword, has been tagged for deletion, as it meets one or more of the criteria for speedy deletion; specifically, it has no content, other than external links, categories, "see also" sections, rephrasing of the title, and/or chat-like comments.

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. Rror (talk) 17:19, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Di-Sword article deletion

After getting my new article marked for speedy deletion less than 5 minutes after its creation, I added the contested template tag, which - according to the speedy deletion template - should mean I will get at least a few days to explain why. I also added the underconstruction template tag, which, on the "learn how to write articles" page (or something along that line), is said to signal editors not to delete your article yet, as it is still being worked on.

So I wake up this morning to fix my English, add more content, sections, references, and establish the context of the article in general... and it has already been deleted. I am very very disappointed (and even angered) at your utter disregard for the tags which I've placed on the page, and the explanation on the talk page for the article which says "I will tidy it up once I'm done writing"... which was supposed to be happening now.

I hope in the future you think twice before deleting pages, especially pages which have been tagged with tags that are meant to delay their impending deletion by a little. ショグン (talk) 09:27, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

While I'm happy to answer questions, it looks like your question could have been answered and resolved more quickly if you had used my message wizard. It's linked as "Talk" after my name and at the top of my talk page. Why not try it next time?

I appreciate you may be disappointed about your article being deleted, but please remember to be civil.

The {{hangon}} tag says "The person placing this notice intends to dispute the speedy deletion of this article on this page's talk page, and requests that this page not be deleted in the meantime. Note that this request is not binding, and the page may still be deleted if the page unquestionably meets the speedy deletion criteria, or if the promised explanation is not provided very soon. This template should not be removed from a page still marked with a speedy deletion template." The {{underconstruction}} tag says "Consider not tagging with a deletion tag unless the page hasn't been edited in several days." I have added italics to the important parts of those messages. Hopefully you will understand that if there was a blanket prohibition on articles bearing those tags being deleted, there could not possibly be any quality standards maintained on Wikipedia.

If you know when creating an article that you are likely not to be able to bring it to a minimum standard straight away, consider creating a subpage in your userspace and moving it to the main namespace when it is ready. I have restored Di-Sword to such a page, which you'll find at User:ショグン/Di-Sword, and you can move it back to the main namespace when it is complete. To reduce the risk of it being deleted again, make sure you add citations from reliable sources which will ensure that the article is verifiable. Stifle (talk) 12:40, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
