Welcome

Hello, Ego-defence-mechanic, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay.

Speedy deletion of Callum Baillie

A tag has been placed on Callum Baillie 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 band or musician, 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 musical topics.

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.

Callum Baillie

Hi there - I've moved the article to your userspace, and you can now find it at User:Ego-defence-mechanic/Callum Baillie. I'm pretty certain the content is exactly the same as your current userpage, but figured I may as well just move over the article wholesale. If it's now surplus to requirements feel free to write {{db-u1}} at the top of it and someone will delete it shortly. I've closed the deletion debate accordingly. Any problems or questions feel free to leave me a message on my talk page. _Gb^T/c 07:55, 12 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
