Welcome!

Hello, Dmccartle, and welcome to Wikipedia! 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 Darrin White, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for page creation, and may soon be deleted (if it hasn't already).

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on your user page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

Speedy deletion of Darrin White

[edit]

A tag has been placed on Darrin White requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. 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.

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 article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the article or have a copy emailed to you.

A further welcome

[edit]

Hi there Dan, I just deleted the Darrin White article but I wanted to pop over here to make sure that this does not dishearten you too much and to point you in the direction of some helpful information. I see that someone has already left you a welcome message with some useful links in which I highly recommend that you click though to a read. The key ones are the Five pillars which describe our core policies, and also particularly relevant for you is our general criteria for inclusion. If you ever need any help please don't hesitate to drop me a note on my talk page - the link is in my signature. Kind regards and again, welcome! Nancy talk 19:52, 25 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
