Hi
Just a tip = the speedy deletion criterion 'nonsense' is a bit limited. It only applies to things like 'ytctyhggjhkj fgdsrtyuui' (so long as you're sure it's not written in Foreign). or stuff like 'bath cyclical endomorph pellucidly inchoate formidableness' - stuff that would get you thrown out of a Surrealist poetry circle. If it's in English, and it is coherent (i.e. it reads like English), it doesn't qualify as 'nonsense'. Be wary of things that might be machine translations, though. Japanese is the worst, with Chinese not far behind. I can remember what seemed to be a promotional description of an expensive hotel that appeared to be equipped with pirates. (It got deleted as 'spam' - that was clear enough...). I've declined your speedy on the Soda thing. To be honest, I'm not quite sure what to do with it. It's not spam. I#ll think about it and look later to see if you've come up with something. (Not A7, though. That doesn't fit.) Peridon (talk) 18:06, 24 October 2012 (UTC)
- Oops, sorry I wasn't sure what it qualified for either. I'll take another look, I am not entirely what the subject of the article is myself as it is written in a very confusing and random manner. Holyfield1998 (talk) 18:07, 24 October 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: Picture show
Hello Holyfield1998. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Picture show, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: its a disambiguation page - therefore it has not content by definition. Thank you. SmartSE (talk) 17:25, 1 November 2012 (UTC)
