Your contributed article, John Paul: A renowned and prolific Malayalam writer
[edit]
Hello, I notice that you recently created a new page, John Paul: A renowned and prolific Malayalam writer. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as yourself. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page - John Paul Puthusery. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will to continue helping improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at John Paul Puthusery - you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.
If you think that the article you created should remain separate, 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 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. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Eeekster (talk) 10:18, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

Please don't use Wikipedia for advertising
[edit]We have certain standards for Wikipedia articles. They must be written in a neutral, encyclopedic way and mustn't promote or advertise a person or a product. Articles that do promote or advertise get deleted. In the case of your article, we're willing to let it stay but have had to cut out all the advertising guff you keep adding. Please stop adding it, as the ultimate result could be the deletion of the entire article. ⇦REDVERS⇨ 11:06, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
The article John Paul Puthusery has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- no evidence of notability
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 18:18, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
