April 2007

Welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. An article you recently created, Lost son, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for new articles, so it will shortly be removed (if it hasn't been already). Please use the sandbox for any tests you may want to do and please read our introduction page to learn more about contributing. Thank you. Coren 16:18, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

re Lost son

Thanks for your contribution, but see Wikipedia:Notability (books)#Criteria. This book hasn't even been published yet, and is slated for publication by a small literary press. It needs to be reviewed to have an article. Sorry, but otherwise we have articles on about every book ever, which we don't want. Herostratus 19:47, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Notability of Tim Clark (author)

A tag has been placed on Tim Clark (author) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert 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 think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, 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, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. CobaltBlueTony 16:44, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Tim Clark (author)

The article Tim Clark (author) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles 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 article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Λεξικόφιλος (talk) 13:24, 15 March 2011 (UTC)
