Welcome
[edit]Welcome!
Hello, Robfitzgib, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, like Teic.ie, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for page creation, and may soon be deleted.
You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles. See the Article Wizard.
Thank you.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome and appreciate your contributions, but all Wikipedia articles must meet our criteria for inclusion (see What Wikipedia is not and Deletion policy). Since it does not seem that Teic.ie meets these criteria, an editor has started a discussion about whether this article should be kept or deleted.
Your opinion on whether this article meets the inclusion criteria is welcome. Please contribute to the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Teic.ie. Don't forget to add four tildes (~~~~) at the end of each of your comments to sign them.
Discussions such as these usually last seven days. In the meantime, you are free to edit the content of the article. Please do not remove the "articles for deletion" template (the box at the top). When the discussion has concluded, a neutral third party will consider all comments and decide whether or not to delete the article. Singularity42 (talk) 21:07, 1 November 2009 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of Art in the Contemporary World
[edit]A tag has been placed on Art in the Contemporary World 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 about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.) or web content, 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. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.
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 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.

Article Creation
[edit]Hi Robfitzgib! It looks like you have created a number of new articles. You and I have had some talks about one of them already, and I noticed a second was just recently tagged for deletion. I know it can be discouraging for new editors to have a number of articles disputed early on - although it is not unusual when a number of articles are created very quickly.
Might I suggest trying out the article creation wizard. It does a pretty good job of making sure your article's subject meets the Wikipedia inclusion policies. Singularity42 (talk) 21:19, 1 November 2009 (UTC)
Article deletion response
[edit]Message added Singularity42 (talk) 21:27, 1 November 2009 (UTC). You can remove this notice at any time by removing the {{Talkback}} or {{Tb}} template.
Thanks. Apologies for posting in the wrong place. I will indeed join the Ireland group.
Can you look at Art in the Contemporary World and tell me if it now meets notability criteria? If not, I shall add more. I know you didn't nominate, I'm just looking for an opinion so I can get more used to this. Robfitzgib (talk) 22:06, 1 November 2009 (UTC)
- Hmm... I'm not entirely sure what the issue is, but I'll tell you what always helps. If you have third-party, reliable sources that have convered the project, then add them to the article. Truthfully, I would suggest asking the editor who tagged the article. If it is deleted before you get a reply, ask the deleting administrator. That's the best advice I can give.

Articles for deletion nomination of Art in the Contemporary World
[edit]I have nominated Art in the Contemporary World, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Art in the Contemporary World. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.
Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. --SquidSK (1MC•log) 03:42, 27 November 2009 (UTC)
Unreferenced BLPs
[edit]Hello Robfitzgib! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 1 of the articles that you created is tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. Please note that all biographies of living persons must be sourced. If you were to add reliable, secondary sources to this article, it would greatly help us with the current 75 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the article:
- Damien Kiberd - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL
