Speedy deletion nomination of William Jesse Ramey[edit]

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on William Jesse Ramey requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} 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 hang-on 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. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Travelbird (talk) 09:28, 1 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Oscar W. Peterson[edit]

I see that you did not take my advice and create your new articles as userpage drafts first. In any even, you seem to be using the {{Quote}} template as a way of citing references. That is not the correct way to do it. Please take a look at WP:Referencing for beginners and WP:CITE for guidance as to the proper way to format and use citations. Hope this helps. – ukexpat (talk) 19:39, 8 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I have some of Jesse Ramey’s carvings that I received from my grandfather who owned a hardware store in Manistee Michigan up until 1972. They are really quite interesting. 35.20.86.134 (talk) 17:15, 4 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
