What the heck? Why'd you delete my page on the book "90 Minutes in Heaven"???? People need to read this book! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Michael10127 (talk • contribs) .

I deleted it because it had been tagged for another user for deletion, because it satisfied one of the criteria for speedy deletion. Specifically, I felt that it was "Blatant advertising. Pages which exclusively promote a company, product, group or service and which would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic."

Of course, the subject matter itself is not an issue. The article simply sounded too much like a newspaper advertisement or something of that sort to qualify as an encyclopedia article. Thus, feel free to submit a rewritten version. If you'd like, I can email you the original text of the article as a starting point. Karl Dickman ^talk 01:24, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

Ok! I thought it was justsome idiot who liked doing that. There should be an article for the book "90 Minutes in heaven" If only I could write it right! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Michael10127 (talk • contribs) .

I have recreated the article, but I have significantly refactored it. You can find the new article where you originally created it, at 90 Minutes in Heaven. Feel free to expand it, but try to keep in mind Wikipedia's policies on neutrality. Specifically, try to limit your additions to important parts of the plot summary, factual comments on critical reaction or popularity (such as it's current rank on Amazon—247, I believe), etc.

There's always the possibility that the article will be redeleted on that grounds that it is reposted content. If this happens, let me know and I will deal with it. Cheers, Karl Dickman ^talk 03:27, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on It's my Life (PBS Kids Site), requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because it is an article about a certain web site, blog, forum, or other community of web users that does not assert the importance or significance of that web location.

Please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources which verify their content.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself.
