An article you created is about to be deleted: Tools which can help you

The article you created, Miss_Black_Virginia_USA is about to be deleted from Wikipedia.

There is an ongoing debate about whether your article should be deleted here:

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Miss_Black_Virginia_USA.

The faster your respond, the better chance the article you created can be saved. This is because deletion debates only stay open for a few days, and the first comments are usually the most important.

There are several tools and other editors who can help you keep the page from being deleted forever:

You can list the page up for deletion on Article Rescue Squadron. If you need help listing your page, add a comment on the Article Rescue Squadron talk page.
You can request a mentor to help explain to you all of the complex rules that editors use to get a page deleted, here: Wikipedia:Adopt-a-User. But don't wait for a mentor to respond on the deletion page.
When try to delete a page, veteran editors love to use a lot of rule acronyms. Don't let these acronyms intimidate you.
Here is a list of your own acronyms you can use yourself: WP:Deletion debate acronyms which may support the page you created being kept.
Acronyms in deletion debates are sometimes incorrectly used, or ignore rules or exceptions.
You can merge the article into a larger article.

If your page is deleted, you still have many options available. Good luck! travb (talk) 17:49, 24 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hey House of, if you go to the article you'll see a template at the top about the deletion. There's a link there to go to the discussion. I saw your post on the talk page, but that's not where the deletion discussion takes place. Here's a direct link: [1]

The basic issue is wp: notability, which is shown by citations to substantial coverage from reliable sources such as articles, books and independent websites. Let me know if you have any questions. Also i have a very cool welcome template with lots of fun links and information, so if you want me to put it up on your page let me know. ChildofMidnight (talk) 20:52, 24 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]
