Speedy deletion of Gangland (The History Channel)
[edit]![](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/f/f7/Nuvola_apps_important.svg/32px-Nuvola_apps_important.svg.png)
A tag has been placed on Gangland (The History Channel) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. 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.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}}
to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

- I see that you have added more information, and that's great. An administrator will eventually make the decision of whether or not to delete the page; I can't really do that. Happy editing! Merenta 21:28, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
- I now see that an admin has reviewed this article and has removed the CSD tag. Great! I'm glad you added enough information to make it a worthy article. I don't watch a lot of TV, but I do enjoy the History Channel and I'm looking forward to more of your articles (to read, not to delete!!) Happy editing! Merenta 22:52, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

- Great news! But before we start the project, we have to run it through proper channels, and make sure it will encompass a mininum of 50 articles (or 75, am not sure really). Cheers! Λua∫Wise (Operibus anteire) 19:57, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
