Robert Michie

edit

Congratulations on creating your first article. However as you spelt his surname with a lowercase m when you created the page so I've moved it to the correctly capitalised version (and dropped the middle names) so please make further edits to Robert Michie not the original page. Thanks. Nthep (talk) 18:36, 18 April 2017 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of Robert Mearns

edit
 

The article Robert Mearns has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No sources are cited, and I have been unable to find any confirmation anywhere of the existence of a Major General Robert Mearns.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

You will need to do the Wikidata tutorials first. I've pasted the link to the main Wikidata page below. TeriEmbrey (talk) 19:06, 30 May 2017 (UTC)Reply
