Speedy deletion nomination of Northwood MS
[edit]A tag has been placed on Northwood MS requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, a rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content. You may wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.
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.

Speedy deletion nomination of Northwood MS
[edit]A tag has been placed on Northwood MS, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing no content to the reader. Please note that external links, "See also" section, book reference, category tag, template tag, interwiki link, rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article don't count as content. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content. You may wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.
Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}}
to the page and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Thewtfchronicles (talk) 07:29, 10 November 2009 (UTC)
Hello, the beginnings of an article that you had at Northwood MS do not meet the minimum criteria for an article in the mainspace of Wikipedia. However, you can use what is called the sandbox to work on developing the article. I have moved your work to your sandbox space, and you can access it through the link in the section header above. Please contact me if you have any questions about this. LadyofShalott 08:37, 10 November 2009 (UTC)
- Deletion was not at all out of line: please see the criteria for speedy deletion, where you'll see that the page clearly met qualification A1. Wikipedia is not a place for extremely tiny pages that don't even explain what they're about; that's why LadyofShalott has moved it to your sandbox space, so that you can get it up to what is expected of an article.
