Speedy deletion nomination of ඇන්ජෙලෝ මැතිව්ස්

Hello Lasan Rajapaksa,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged ඇන්ජෙලෝ මැතිව්ස් for deletion, because it doesn't seem to have any encyclopedic content.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. 114BryanKurt ^{Let's talk!} 08:39, 6 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Welcome again, and some advice

Hello, Lasan Rajapaksa, and again welcome to the English language Wikipedia.
You've recently created the Wikipedia page ඇන්ජෙලෝ මැතිව්ස් which is entirely in Sinhalese.
To help us help you, could you possibly explain what this about, in English?
You may also be interested in participating in the Sri Lanka WikiProject.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on කොමිකෝස් 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 a person, a group of people, an individual animal, an organization (band, club, company, etc.), web content, or an organized event, but it does not credibly 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 read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion".

Speedy deletion nomination of File:1985 photo of Columbus heavyweight boxer James "Buster" Douglas.jpg

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 File:1985 photo of Columbus heavyweight boxer James "Buster" Douglas.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to be an unambiguous copyright infringement. This page appears to be a direct copy from http://pbs.twimg.com/media/CrREIcEWEAA13II.jpg. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, 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 from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.
