[edit] Highways Of The Dominican Republic

A tag has been placed on Highways Of The Dominican Republic, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under 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. If you plan to add more material to the article, I advise you to do so immediately. Also 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. To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Yuser31415 05:19, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] rfa

To create an rfa, please follow the instructions at WP:GRFA. You have to create the page before you add it to WP:RFA. Please don't add it again until you've created it. Thanks. Picaroon 03:49, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

Please don't add your RfA attempt again until you have followed the instructions that Picaroon pointed you to above. I should warn you that an inability to follow the RfA instructions is taken by some contributors as a sign that you are not yet ready for the responsibilities of being an admin.

[edit] Tagged

A tag has been placed on Aster(Cable), 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 Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is notable, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page 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 its subject's notability under the 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. John Reaves 08:05, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

Please do not remove speedy deletion tags from articles. If you do not believe the article deserves to be deleted, then please do the following:

1. Place {{hangon}} on the page. Please do not remove any existing speedy deletion tag(s).
2. Make your case on the article's talk page.

Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the article. Thank you. John Reaves 08:07, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

Please stop removing speedy deletion notices from articles that you have created yourself. If you do not believe the article deserves to be deleted, then please do the following:

1. Place {{hangon}} on the page. Please do not remove any existing speedy deletion notice(s)
2. Make your case on the article's talk page.

Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the article. Thank you. John Reaves 08:16, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Notability

Notability guidelines for companies are at WP:CORP. The most important thing is finding outside sources. Has the company been covered in any newspapers or magazines? That would show its notability. NickelShoe (Talk) 20:38, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Your RfA - friendly, but firm, advice

Please please please, withdraw your RfA. You stand 0% chance of success so early in your time here; I'll be surprised if you get a single support !vote. All that you'll achieve is to make your chances of a successful RfA in, say, six to ten months, far less likely, as editors will view your actions now as a bad sign. I went through this yesterday with User:Foundby and it was awful. Please withdraw. --Dweller 09:34, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

I regret to say that I have closed your RfA early as per WP:SNOW. I have included a summary of the opinions cast in my reason for doing so, which was essentially 'get some more experience before trying again'. You have been very brave in putting yourself in the spotlight here after so short a time of editing WP. Most people wait between six-to-twelve months before trying for an RfA and they are not alway successful either. Strategies for improving your profile for another RfA include:

1. contributing effectively to articles. This includes finding references and citations for facts in reliable sources, something that is essential for an encyclopedia.
2. Working on the Good Article Drive, Good Article Collaboration of the week and the Article Creation and Improvement Drive.
3. Patrolling the New pages and Recent changes special pages for vandalism; tagging the pages according to the criteria for speedy deletion and warning the vandals.
4. Reporting repeat vandals for admin intervention.
5. Joining a Wikiproject or finding a portal on a subject in which you are interested and contributing through that.
6. Assisting at the Help and Reference desks.
7. Welcoming new users.
8. Becoming adopted or, when you are more experienced, adopting new users to assist them in learning about Wikipedia.

These are just some of the ideas for making effective contributions to the project. You can also see Wikipedia:Contributing to Wikipedia for more ideas. Regards and good editing, (aeropagitica) 14:32, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
