I suggest you go and fill in some extra information on some of the article you have created. One-sentence articles are subject to immediate deletion, whether or not the subject is worth writing about. Three or four sentence ones are usually kept. Thanks.

Please have a look at Wikipedia:Manual of Style. There are some key points for writing a good article.

• Use the article title in the first sentence. So rather than "He is a photographer" write "Fred J Bloggs (1899-2004) is a Swiss photographer who specialises in taking photographs of mountains at night. He won the Yodeleihu prize in 1977." (I'm making this up of course).
• For anyone reasonably famous you should be able to find birth and death dates and nationality for anyone worth of an article.
• Make the first use of the article title bold.
• If you wrte a short article, please add {{stub}} at the bottom of the article. DJ Clayworth 17:42, 15 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
