Want to post an article, afraid it's going to get deleted

Pardon me, as I'm new to all this, but, as I posted on Lucky 6.9's talk page (not sure how to point directly at the talk page), there's a page I'd like to create but attempts by others to create it have been met with immediate deletion. I noticed by reading the rest of Lucky's talk page that a lot of pages seem to get deleted, and without any response that I can see. What criteria get a page deleted immediately? How can I work with someone to get appropriate content posted?

Thanks for whatever help you can give.

Please go through Wikipedia:Deletion policy. If something remains unclear or if you have a more specific question, feel free to ask me :) -- Lost^(talk) 15:49, 12 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, wrt your question on my talk page, the article in question has been deleted twice before. Here's the deletion log. First time, it was speedy deleted because of criteria A7 - Unremarkable people, groups, companies and websites. Second time it was speedy deleted as it was a copyright violation from some other site. Hope that makes it clear. The criteria for speedy deletion are given here -- Lost^(talk) 17:05, 12 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
