Speedy deletion of Thomas B. Fitzpatrick

you can work on a page without saving it; use the preview button. Or make it here Special:Mypage/Sandbox where you can save all you want, then copy across to the actual article when you're done. ninety:one 13:42, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

advice

As reviewing administrator, I think the article has sufficient content to be an acceptable stub, and should not have been nominated for a speedy deletion as no content, so I declined to delete it. He's almost certainly notable, but it needs information about his publications and awards at the very least. I'd advise you to add this very quickly, before it gets nominated for regular deletion.

Speedy deletion nomination of Thomas B. Fitzpatrick

A tag has been placed on Thomas B. Fitzpatrick requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

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 - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), 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. かんぱい！ Scapler (talk) 21:39, 9 June 2010 (UTC)
