Speedy deletion nomination of Gervais Street Bridge

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.

A tag has been placed on Gervais Street Bridge, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to have no meaningful content or history, and the text is unsalvageably incoherent. If the page you created was a test, please use the sandbox for any other experiments you would like to do.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Sorry, but I to be a jerk and delete the article. Re-working from the original text like that still infringes on the copyright. If you want to re-write the article, it really needs to be from scratch, with no bits of copy-pasted text left. If you need some help, please feel free to ask.

DYK for Gervais Street Bridge

On 5 August 2012, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Gervais Street Bridge, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that Gervais Street Bridge was the only bridge across the Congaree River in Columbia, South Carolina, from 1928 until 1953? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Gervais Street Bridge. You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and it will be added to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

Proposed deletion of Bull swamp creek

Hello, Floridatigers. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, Bull swamp creek, for deletion because I don't think it meets our criteria for inclusion. If you don't want the article deleted:

edit the page
remove the text that looks like this: {{proposed deletion/dated...}}
save the page

Also, be sure to explain why you think the article should be kept in your edit summary or on the article's talk page. If you don't do so, it may be deleted later anyway.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. —Theodore! (talk) (contribs) 02:03, 9 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
