User talk:Jack Barlow83

Welcome!

Hello, Jack Barlow83, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Inspower, 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:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you have any questions, check out Wikipedia:Questions or ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! Γιάννης Α. ^✆|☑ 23:16, 24 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Inspower

Please refrain from introducing inappropriate pages, such as Inspower, to Wikipedia. Doing so is not in accordance with our policies. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox.

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.

First off, you'll notice that Γιάννης Α. thought that it was vandalism (perhaps you remember that it was tagged as a hoax), but I saw no reason to say that it was; my deletion reason was unrelated to that. You've slightly misunderstood the reason for deletion; it was deleted because it didn't show why Inspower was particulary important or why it should be covered in an encyclopedia. Officially, it was deleted under speedy deletion criterion A7; click the link for the official criterion. You ask for hints — the most important thing is that you cite multiple reliable sources that are independent of Inspower (e.g. articles from major newspapers, leading websites, etc.) that cover it in depth. If you want to see Inspower covered in this encyclopedia, you have several options:

You can rewrite the article from scratch and do all your work over again.
You can ask me to userfy the page; I'll undelete it and move it to somewhere in your userspace. There, you can work on it gradually, adding sources when you find them, without fear that it will again be speedy deleted before it's ready. I'll not do this unless you say you want me to, but I'll be happy to do it if you say so.
If you read the A7 criterion and believe that it doesn't really apply to what you wrote, you can go to Deletion Review and ask for it to be undeleted there.

If you have any questions, ask and I'll do my best to help you. Nyttend (talk) 20:28, 25 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

No inconvenience; that's what I signed up for when I agreed to be an admin. Thanks for your kind words; most people who say something to me after I delete their articles are angry — for an example, look at this edit. You may now find the text at User:Jack Barlow83/Inspower.
