User talk:Dssimmons

Welcome!

Hello, Dssimmons, 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, such as Harrow Sports, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may soon be deleted.

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 this page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

Speedy deletion nomination of Harrow Sports

A tag has been placed on Harrow Sports 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 an organization or company, 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 organizations and companies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

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 - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. ttonyb (talk) 23:16, 25 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Conflict of interest notice

Please check our policies on conflicts of interest. To boil it down: You may not write an article about a company with which you are affiliated or by which you are employed. Let someone else who is not affiliated with it write it, and wait until they do. We strictly disallow advertising, publicity, and promotion. Accordingly, the article has been barred from recreation for one month's time. Even if recreated after that, it needs to be recreated by someone unaffiliated with the company, in a neutral tone, supported by reliable sources that substantially and thoroughly cover the company. If such sources do not exist, such article cannot be written. Seraphimblade ^{Talk to me} 01:35, 26 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
