Welcome!

Hello, Julia Garnet, and welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Saint Bottom, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may soon be deleted.

There's a page about creating articles you may want to read called Your first article. If you are stuck, and looking for help, please come to the New contributors' help page, where experienced Wikipedians can answer any queries you have! Or, you can just type {{helpme}} on this page, and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Here are a few other good links for newcomers:

Please refrain from introducing inappropriate pages, such as Saint Bottom, to Wikipedia. Doing so is not in accordance with our policies. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, 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.

Verifiability and sources

[edit]

Welcome, again, to Wikipedia. Your article was tagged for speedy deletion as a hoax. As reviewing administrator, I have declined that nomination, because that is only for blatantly obvious hoaxes; but one of Wikipedia's fundamental policies is Wikipedia:Verifiability, which requires that "any material challenged or likely to be challenged must be attributed to a reliable, published source." I have searched both on-line and in reference books without finding any confirmation of what your article says - see its talk page. So I have nominated the article under the WP:Proposed deletion process - formal notice below. You can prevent deletion by removing the notice from the article, but unless checkable, reliable sources can be found to verify what it says, it would then be nominated under a different process, Articles for deletion, which would start a seven-day discussion on whether it should be kept. I am sorry to give you so much Wikipedia bureaucracy, but these are the ways by which we try to keep the encyclopedia reliable. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 11:13, 21 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The article Saint Bottom has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

This seems to be a hoax - I can find no confirmation (see talk). At best, fails WP:V.

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 {{proposed deletion/dated}} 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 {{proposed deletion/dated}} 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. JohnCD (talk) 11:13, 21 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
