[edit] Speedy deletion of The Grinning Man

A tag has been placed on The Grinning Man, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to have no meaningful content or history, and the text is unsalvageably incoherent. If the page you created was a test, please use the sandbox for any other experiments you would like to do. Feel free to leave a message on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (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.

[edit] February 2008

Please do not remove speedy deletion notices from pages you have created yourself, as you did with The Grinning Man. Please use the {{hangon}} template on the page instead if you disagree with the deletion. Thank you. -- BlastOButter42 See Hear Speak 07:46, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Please stop removing speedy deletion notices from pages that you have created yourself, as you did with The Grinning Man. If you continue, you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. -- BlastOButter42 See Hear Speak 07:54, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Wow, do we owe you an apology!

There was something about your article on the Grinning Man which made me look twice. So, I Googled it and found out that it really is a legit claim. The way you'd originally written the article coupled with your removals of the deletion notices led us to believe that you might be vandalizing the site with nonsense. Believe me, it happens all the time. I'm so glad that you kept a cool head and I hope that you have fun editing here. --PMDrive1061 (talk) 08:00, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, sorry about that little flap there. I wasn't the one who originally tagged the page for deletion, but I saw that you had removed speedy deletion tags improperly (Wikipedia policy states that if you created a page tagged for speedy deletion you can contest it using the {{hangon}} template, but you are not allowed to remove the speedy deletion tag). That's why I gave you those warnings. -- BlastOButter42 See Hear Speak 08:05, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
  • Already working on it with you. I've cleaned it up a bit and added some category links, plus a few wikis. It would seem that Mr. Keel has quite an extensive article of his own. Welcome to the club!--PMDrive1061 (talk) 08:12, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
