[edit]Your sandbox wasn't in your user space, it was in the main encyclopedia space. I have moved it to here. Notice the name of the link begins with "User:Dtsteele", not "Dtsteele". - UtherSRG (talk) 11:35, 22 May 2010 (UTC)
The article Available styles of Silly Bandz has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- Fails WP:N. No independent reliable sources (not blogs, fora, ...) discussing the available styles.
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. Fram (talk) 07:13, 27 May 2010 (UTC)
