Speedy deletion nomination of José E. Feliciano

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on José E. Feliciano requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

I'm so sorry! I'm new to this and didn't mean for this to go live yet... was intending this as a draft that I was working on. I agree this should be deleted as it was published prematurely. Could you possibly share the guidelines for starting a new draft that I can save edits to, prior to posting live? ToucanSam1017 (talk) 23:04, 22 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please move the page to become a draft if you want it out of mainspace. I can do it for you if you want Mach61 (talk) 00:22, 23 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from a page you have created yourself. If you believe the page should not be deleted, you may contest the deletion by clicking on the button that says: Contest this speedy deletion which appears inside the speedy deletion notice. This will allow you to make your case on the talk page. Administrators will consider your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you. Liz ^{Read!

Hi Liz, This was initially intended as a draft I was working on, but accidentally published it much too early, before it was adequate enough for the mainspace, hence the speedy deletion tag. To correct I'd moved it into draft space to complete it and have it mainspace ready, which it is now and why the tag was deleted. I'll be sure start my next draft with the Article Wizard to prevent this mishap from occurring again. ToucanSam1017 (talk) 22:09, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
