[edit] Preble County District Library

A tag has been placed on Preble County District Library, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising that only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add {{hangon}} on the top of Preble County District Library 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 help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Daltxn (talk) 20:12, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] April 2008

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! I noticed that you recently added a {{hangon}} template to an article, Preble County District Library. In order for an administrator to evaluate whether the article should be speedy deleted or not, we request that you provide a reasoning of why it should remain on the article's talk page. Thank you. 21655 ^τalk/ _ʃign 20:20, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Preble County District Library and hangon

Hi. the {{hangon}} tag goes on the article that has been tagged for speedy deletion, not your talk page (see above). It is added to the page and it does not replace the speedy deletion tag.

That being said, I declined the speedy deletion request. It seems strange to claim someone was advertising the library. That being said, listing hours of operation isn't exactly encyclopedic, so you might want to remove that. It's in the spirit of WP:NOT. Good luck, and happy editing.
