Speedy deletion nomination of Joseph Roos

edit

Hello Ungathering,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Joseph Roos for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.

DYK for Dick Moss

edit

On 20 October 2024, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Dick Moss, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that labor lawyer Dick Moss argued the 1975 case which resulted in the establishment of free agency in Major League Baseball? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/Dick Moss. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, Dick Moss), and the hook may be added to the statistics page after its run on the Main Page has completed. Finally, if you know of an interesting fact from another recently created article, then please feel free to suggest it on the Did you know talk page.
