Why should someone else do it? If you can't do it, no one will magically update for you with... oh, nothing, because you never even told us what to update it with. {{sofixit}}, or forget about it. —fetch·comms02:53, 5 August 2010 (UTC)
Hello Wayne Olajuwon, and thanks for patrolling new pages! I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Rosana Tapajos, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: The article makes a credible assertion of importance or significance, sufficient to pass A7. You may wish to review the Criteria for Speedy Deletion before tagging further pages. Thank you. Theleftorium(talk)19:34, 14 August 2010 (UTC)

Hello Wayne Olajuwon. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Hoggin, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Contains sufficient content to be a stub. Thank you. JohnCD (talk) 16:11, 16 August 2010 (UTC)
If you are going to do New Page Patrol - which is a good and useful thing to do - you need to read WP:CSD carefully. The criteria for speedy deletion are deliberately drawn quite tightly, and there is no point tagging articles which don't meet them - you can use WP:PROD or WP:AfD if you really think the article should be deleted, but often what is needed is improvement, and it is better to add an appropriate one of the maintenance templates listed at WP:TC, such as {{unreferenced}}. Better still, see whether you can improve the article yourself, for instance by finding references. There is good advice for speedy taggers at WP:10CSD and WP:A7M.

Okay, I'm not concerned about the Daytona 500 article, but the others are too far away. I will be a little surprised if PROD will not be added to them in the future. Also if your not a member of WP:NASCAR you are welcome to join. --Nascar1996Contributions / Guestbook16:30, 17 August 2010 (UTC)
I have nominated 2011 Coca-Cola 600, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/2011 Coca-Cola 600. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

The 2010 Food City 500 at Bristol Motor Speedway in Bristol, Tennessee was the fifth race of the 2010 NASCARSprint Cup Series season. The race began at 1 p.m. EDT on March 21, 2010. The 2010 Food City 500 was televised on Fox and broadcast on PRN radio. This race marked the last appearance of the rear wing on the Car of Tomorrow, with the spoiler returning the following race. This race also was the first of three in Carl Edwards' probation following his altercation with Brad Keselowski at the previous race at Atlanta Motor Speedway; Keselowski was sent airborne, subsequently crashing on his side door. The race had 13 different leaders, 39 lead changes and 10 cautions. The race attendance of 138,000 marked the end of a long streak of sellout seats at the track, which has a capacity of 158,000. The race had been a sellout since 1982.
