User talk:Robertdumont
A tag has been placed on the article Robert Dumont, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be a biographical account about a person, group of people, or band, but it does not indicate how or why he/she/they is/are notable. If you can indicate why Robert Dumont is really notable, I advise you to edit the article promptly, and also put a note on Talk:Robert Dumont. Any admin should check for such edits before deleting the article. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Please read our criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 7 under Articles. You might also want to read our general biography criteria. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. -- Funky Monkey 00:49, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
Welcome

Hello, Robertdumont, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

- Manual of Style
I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Please sign your name on talk pages using four tildes (~~~~); this will automatically produce your name and the date. If you need help, check out Wikipedia:Where to ask a question, ask me on my talk page, or place {{helpme}}
on your talk page and someone will show up shortly to answer your questions. Again, welcome!
I've moved the page about what I presume was you from article space to your user page. Have a review of the guidelines mentioned above, and if you decide that you do qualify, let me know and I'll move it back. A word of caution, though, that users can be savage when they believe that someone is using Wikipedia for self promotion, and a deletion discussion will often become the number one google hit for a person's name. Drop a note on my talk (click the "T" after my name) if you have any questions.

I've added the "{{prod}}" template to your user page (User:Robertdumont), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. I've explained why in the deletion notice (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy).
Please note that the purpose of a user page is not as personal homepage or used as a general webhosting service, but as way for active editors of Wikipedia to introduce themselves to other editors. If you disagree with the notice, discuss the issues here or on my user talk page. You may remove the deletion notice, and the page will not be deleted for the moment, but note that it may still be sent to Miscellany for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached, or if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria.
