Coming here to ask why I deleted your article? Read this page first... |
If that doesn't help, read these FAQs.
1. Why did you delete my page when I hadn't finished writing it?
- Answer: Don't create new articles unless you are sure they meet wikipedia's criteria, particularly notability and verifiability. If you want to practice, there is the sandbox facility and Wikipedia:Articles for creation where you can get a second opinion from a more experienced contributor. And if you really can't help yourself, use {{underconstruction}} so other people will know you are still working on it.
2. Why did you delete my page for advertising? I wasn't trying to advertise!
- Answer: Read Wikipedia:NPOV for guidance on how to word an article so that it doesn't sound like an advertisement.
3. Why did you delete my page for advertising? It was about a non-profit organisation!
- Answer: Non-profit organisations advertise all the time - it's still promotion and the rule applies to them just as it does to commercial bodies. See no 2 above.
4. Why did you delete my article without warning?
- Answer: Because you are not entitled to a warning if you don't follow the guidelines. See no 1 above.
5. Why didn't you do a google search and find references for my article and put them in for me instead of just deleting it?
- Answer: Because I don't have time to do the boring bits for you. I have enough boring bits of my own to work on, thank you.
