Speedy deletion nomination of Joseph E Prince
edit
A tag has been placed on Joseph E Prince 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. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.
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.

The article Joseph E Prince has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- Non-notable athlete.
While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{dated prod}} will stop the Proposed Deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The Speedy Deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and Articles for Deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Frank | talk 17:49, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
Hello, I have done the wikification on Joseph E Prince. This adds those blue links to other articles and puts the subject in bold. I also added some categories. Please can you find some more references that show that other people have written about this man. That will prove the WP:notability. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 21:12, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

- You should include these at the bottom of the article. Put a * on the front of each item so that it makes a list. If there is a URL that would be good too, but the dates look too far back for that. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 06:33, 2 December 2009 (UTC)
