[edit] May 2007

Thank you for your contribution to Alex slivinski, but we are trying to write an encyclopedia here, so please keep your edits factual and neutral. Our readers are looking for serious articles and will not find joke edits amusing. Remember, millions of people read Wikipedia, so we have to take what we do here seriously. If you'd like to experiment with editing, use the Sandbox to get started. Thank you. Kim Dent-Brown 17:50, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

Please do not violate Wikipedia policy by introducing inappropriate pages, such as Alex David Slivinski, to Wikipedia. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Kim Dent-Brown 20:06, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

The answer to your question, I regret to say, is no. Wikipedia only retains biographical articles about people who are encyclopedically notable. Would you expect to find an article about yourself in the Encyclopedia Britannica? Please do not persist in re-creating this article, with or without the surname being capitalised. To do so would make you vulnerable to the risk of being blocked from editing wikipedia.--Anthony.bradbury 20:17, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
Actually you are wrong. People do use wiki in the same way as Britannica, And a recent survey showed that accuracy was, within 1%, similar in the two encylopedias. We will, in any event, follow wikipedia policy please.--Anthony.bradbury 20:52, 6 May 2007 (UTC)
Alex, when you are notable no-one will complain if an article about you is created. Until then, happy wikying.--Anthony.bradbury 20:57, 6 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Your creation of the page Ryan Woodington

A tag has been placed on Ryan Woodington, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag) and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Pinball22 19:37, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
