Speedy deletion of "Simon Butler"

edit
 

A page you created, Simon Butler, has been tagged for deletion, as it meets one or more of the criteria for speedy deletion; specifically, it is about a real person, group of people, band, club, company, organisation, or web content, but does not indicate why its subject is important or significant.

You are welcome to contribute content which complies with our content policies and any applicable inclusion guidelines. However, please do not simply re-create the page with the same content. You may also wish to read our introduction to editing and guide to writing your first article.

Thank you. anndelion (talk) 12:46, 26 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

Removing Speedy at Simon Butler

edit

  Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from Simon Butler, a page you have created yourself. If you do not believe the page should be deleted, you can place a {{hangon}} tag on the page, under the existing speedy deletion tag (please do not remove the speedy deletion tag), and make your case on the page's talk page. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you. - SDPatrolBot (talk) 12:54, 26 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

Try and add some citations

edit

Look for somecitations that you can add to the article. Right now there is nothing for anyone to verify that the person even existed. That may help your case in keeping the article. If the article is deleted, which it most likely will be, try and get somecitations and take a look at some other biographies to see how they should be written.Jojhutton (talk) 13:02, 26 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

Speedy deletion nomination of Simon Mathews

edit
 

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

A tag has been placed on Simon Mathews requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject of the article is important or significant: that is, why an article about it should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you can assert the notability of the subject, contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} at the top of the article, immediately below the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate), and give your reasons on the article's talk page, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. You may freely add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

See the guidelines for specific types of articles: biographies, websites, bands, or companies. De728631 (talk) 16:48, 27 March 2011 (UTC)Reply
