Speedy deletion nomination of Valentine 'The Huguenot' Sevier
edit
A tag has been placed on Valentine 'The Huguenot' Sevier 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. Wperdue (talk) 03:44, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
Proposed deletion of Valentine 'The Huguenot' Sevier
edit
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Valentine 'The Huguenot' Sevier, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:
- No indication that this person is notable independently of his grandson.
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.

- Drebfiadrok, John Sevier is a notable topic - the chap has earned himself a spot in the history of the USofA and there are independent secondary sources (ie sources not from the Sevier family) that support this. As well as these sources, the article also includes some factual information from the Sevier family resources.
His granddaddy on the other hand, is only famous for being John Sevier's grandfather. No independent secondary sources refer to him in a way that suggests he is notable - if they mention him at all, he's just John Sevier's grandfather. The factual info from the Sevier family archives only shows that he existed, not that he is notable. I have redirected back to John Sevier. Please only recreate a separate article if you find some sources that assert that he is a notable person. Thanks. Elen of the Roads (talk) 15:28, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
