Welcome!

Hello, DavidBMulligan, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. A tag has been placed on User:DavidBMulligan requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section U5 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to consist of writings, information, discussions, or activities not closely related to Wikipedia's goals. Please note that Wikipedia is not a free web hosting service. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time.

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.

Well it is our family history, it is factly correct from many hours of research, based on Family records, news Paper Articles, and journals.

Would you please question the intentions and qualifications of the person that has applied for Speedy Deletion please

Hi, DavidBMulligan. My name's Tamzin and I'm an administrator here. Indeed, your draft article should not have been tagged for deletion. I'll have a word with the editor who tagged it (although I don't think they have any bad intent; they likely misunderstood our policies).

You were drafting on your user page, which isn't the ideal place to draft an article. User pages are usually for introducing oneself and talking about what one does on Wikipedia. I've moved your draft to Draft:David Bernard Mulligan. You can keep working on it there, and when you're ready to submit it for review, you can use Wikipedia:Article wizard to do so. Either it will be accepted, or it will be declined with suggestions on how to improve it. Thanks, and happy editing. -- Tamzin^{[cetacean needed]} (they|xe|🤷) 20:53, 2 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
