Speedy deletion nomination of Arthur Williams, American counterfeiter
editA tag has been placed on Arthur Williams, American counterfeiter 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 a person or group of people, 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 biographies.
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.

Proposed deletion of Arthur Williams, American counterfeiter
editA proposed deletion template has been added to the article Arthur Williams, American counterfeiter, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:
- Non-notable.
All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}}
notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 09:29, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

Hi Alexandergreenb! Just so you know: you should add new talk-page comments to the end of the page (or relevant section), not the beginning. This is so people who come to the page can clearly see which comments and threads are recent, and which are old. I've taken the liberty of moving your recent addition to the bottom of the page, where it's more likely to get a response. There's more advice here on how to use talk pages. All the best, garik (talk) 10:40, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
