]<!-- use ] for YELLOW flag --> A tag has been placed on ] requesting that it be ] from Misplaced Pages. This has been done because the article appears 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 ], articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please ]. If this is the first page you created, you may want to consult ].

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding <code>{{tl|hangon}}</code> to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on ''']''' 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 confirm the subject's notability under Misplaced Pages guidelines.

Launching

Thanks for the updates to this template, but please be careful of engaging in hour to minute updates of the "launching" template. Misplaced Pages is not a countdown clock, that's why we should link to one (which we don't, because NASA managed to break their webpage last week. i'll see if the clock can now be added again). Something like 1 day, 12 hours, 3 hours, hour will more than suffice. Also please do not things like T-(). I think too few people that read this will know what that is. And if they do want to know, then can visit the real countdown clock. --TheDJ (talk • contribs) 21:55, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

CSD#G4 on Crystal Ennis

Hi Leofric1,

I removed your speedy deletion tag of Crystal Ennis, as the criteria you tagged it under (G4 - recreated material) only applies to articles that have been deleted through an XfD discussion. I have, however, gone ahead and tagged the article for proposed deletion, as there seems to be some assertion of notability in the inclusion of the profiling article.

Thanks! --jonny-mt 08:14, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

-- Well, it was a repost of a deleted article. What would be a better tag to use? Leofric1 (talk) 08:27, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

The speedy deletion policy notes that recreated articles can often just be tagged for the same reason they were deleted for in the first place. I know it sounds a bit illogical, but it makes sense when you consider that XfDs are long processes designed to foster consensus while CSDs are short affairs that generally concern three editors (the article creator, the tagger, and the deleting admin) at most. If the article is repeatedly created and deleted--especially for the same reason--administrators have the option of salting the link to prevent unsupervised page creation. --jonny-mt 09:02, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
