Speedy deletion nomination of Gragg advertising
[edit]A tag has been placed on Gragg advertising requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.) or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}}
to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Hi John, thank you for attempting to help Wikipedia improve its coverage. I saw that you made a good-faith effort to rewrite the article School blender to make it sound more encyclopedic. It is important to note, however, that Wikipedia also has guidelines on what types of topics should be included. Generally, our guideline on web content requires that the subject should have gotten significant coverage in independent, reliable sources. This usually means that newspapers, journals, etc should have written about the website. I could find no such coverage when I searched, so at this time I am going to delete the article. If you find these types of sources, please let me know and I will restore the article for you so that you can add the sources. There are lots of rules here, and it can be tough at first to figure out how to edit effectively (my first article was deleted), but you'll get the hang of things pretty quickly. Happy editing!

Articles for deletion nomination of Wichita Technical Institute
[edit]I have nominated Wichita Technical Institute, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Wichita Technical Institute. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.
Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. 2 says you, says two 03:56, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of Environmental Technical Institute
[edit]You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles. See the Article Wizard.
A tag has been placed on Environmental Technical Institute, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be unambiguous advertising that only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.
If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add {{hangon}}
on the top of Environmental Technical Institute and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from independent reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Racepacket (talk) 11:03, 23 February 2010 (UTC)
