Speedy deletion nomination of DNA encryption[edit]

Hello Obtusesquare,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged DNA encryption for deletion, because it doesn't appear to contain any encyclopedic content. Take a look at our suggestions for essential content in short articles to learn what should be included.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.

Hi Obtusesquare, it looks like it was deleted because it didn't have any content in it other than a reference template. Since creating an article can take time, I recommend creating it in your userspace first at User:Obtusesquare/DNA encryption. This will give you time to work on building the page that unfortunately you don't really get with the mainspace, as articles are expected to be ready and have notability established immediately/already.
