[edit] Notability of Really Simple Systems

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Really Simple Systems, by HalJor (talk · contribs), another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Really Simple Systems 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.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Really Simple Systems, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself. --Android Mouse Bot 2 22:26, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Really Simple Systems

Hi, there's no need to put {{hangon}} tag onto a page that's not currently tagged by someone for speedy deletion. And for future reference, they would be placed directly under the existing speedy deletion tag {{db}}. Have fun editing Wikipedia. KTC 12:15, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for the message (all help seriously appreciated as I'm a newbie) but I thought it HAD been tagged for speedy deletion? JacPaterson 12:36, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Nope. You can look at the edit history, or more simply whether you see that big red box at the top of the page. Since you recreated it, there's only been 4 edits, me twice and you twice. Oh, further to what I write at the start, tags like {{hangon}}, {{db}} etc. goes to the top of the page or section if appropriate, so it'll be pretty obvious it's there. -- KTC 12:39, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

ok, thanks. I mistook the original deletion flag for a new one. I'll wait to see if I get any more comments and will then move the {{hangon}} tag. Thanks for removing the wiki dupes. I'm learning! 81.157.140.50 15:11, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

I've already removed the {{hangon}} tag. The discussion on the Talk Page can obviously stay for anyone that wants to comment. KTC 15:30, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

I've placed what I hope are relevant links to this page, + categories - will the "orphaned" message go away by itself? I notice that not all links show up on the "What Links Here" page, perhaps there is a delay in the indexing? JacPaterson 12:57, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

{{helpme}} Help needed to removed "orphaned" message! 82.71.17.78 07:02, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

Orphan message removed, per instructions of tag. The tag to remove was {{Orphan}}, if it gets replaced then there is still insufficient links to that article.Blacksmith ^talkEditor Review 07:40, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
