DYK for Lazi Church

On 2 February 2015, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Lazi Church, which you recently created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that the convent of San Isidro Labrador Parish (pictured) in Lazi, Siquijor is one of the largest convents built during the Spanish colonial era in the Philippines? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Lazi Church. You are welcome to check how many page hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, live views, daily totals), and it may be added to the statistics page if the total is over 5,000. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.

Please be careful with speedy deletions

Hello Carlojoseph14, thank you for helping make sure we don't have unsourced information here. However, please be a bit more careful with speedy deletion requests. When we designed WP:CSD, we did so to make it easy to handle obvious cases such as articles by people who only edit Wikipedia to promote themselves, or articles like "Kayla is the koolest gril in our scool...". But the process can be a dangerous weapon when used in the wrong situation, such as towards a well intended new editor. Specifically, in the case of Mark Luz (edit | visual edit | history) · Article talk (edit | history) · Watch, I noticed the following problems:

The editor was not notified. There is a notice on the template:
Please consider placing the template:

{{subst:Template:db-notability-notice|User talk:Carlojoseph14/Archives/2015/February|header=1Db-person}} ~~~~}}

on the talk page of the author.

But I can't blame you for not doing that; as I'm writing this, I realize that that notice was hard to see, and I moved it up in the template to make it clear that it's a suggestion to the nominator. The reason why it is only a suggestion is because you don't need to do that in the obvious cases, but it clearly is necessary in a case like this, where the editor has done over 100 edits in other articles that appear (at first glance) to be well intended and useful.
You reinserted the speedy template after it had been removed by an experienced editor in good standing.

Please therefore, unless it's really one of the obvious cases, do take the time to look at the article history and also, if there's only one editor, at that user's other contributions. It will make it much easier for those of us to do our job who have to clean up after you. Also, it is generally, a good idea to keep articles you edit on your watchlist for a while; so you can see when others change your edits and not repeat the same mistakes.
