Speedy deletion nomination of Charles M. McDonald

A tag has been placed on Charles M. McDonald requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, "See also" section, book reference, category tag, template tag, interwiki link, rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

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.

i'll try

I'll try doing that. Seb az86556 (talk) 00:03, 5 August 2009 (UTC) It turns out there are only two pages containing that name. I'll redirect them there. Seb az86556 (talk) 00:07, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

Done. Seb az86556 (talk) 00:11, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

on 2nd thought...

So the redirect has been restored. My apologies. I realize a few hours later that it was not the best idea. I had seen about 5 total nonsense redirects (plus about 20 junk "articles") in the hour shortly before yours which might have caused me to jump the gun. Fortunately, no-one's alone at wikipedia, and I was given a second opinion on this. Seb az86556 (talk) 04:12, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
