Speedy deletion nomination of Hamiltons sweet shop
[edit]A tag has been placed on Hamiltons sweet shop requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about an organization or company, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for organizations and companies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.
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 that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. -- BigDom 19:09, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
- Hi Elkaellen and welcome to Wikipedia. I've declined this speedy deletion as I take shops all over britain as an assertion of importance. But the article could really do with some references. ϢereSpielChequers 19:20, 12 January 2010 (UTC)

Please do not vandalize pages, as you did with this edit to Washington Irving. If you continue to do so, you will be blocked from editing. Shadowjams (talk) 10:57, 16 January 2010 (UTC)
