List of University of Florida Heisman Trophy winners
Another editor has added the "prod" template to the article List of University of Florida Heisman Trophy winners, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also What Wikipedia is not and Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the prod template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

 * I AFDed this article, because I felt that the table should be on the UF instead of a separate page.  m ir a nd a   18:14, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Invitation
Sorry I know nothing about the University of Florida, so I can be of no assistance. Good luck, though. -Justin (koavf)·T·C·M 23:21, 6 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Same here, I know nothing about the university of Florida. Also, your template doesn't seem to be working right, as the ~ doesn't work. Poeloq (talk) 23:42, 6 January 2008 (UTC)


 * i got the same invitation. i have'nt contributed to any article relating to the university of florida that i know of, so i wouldn't be much help to the wikiproject. sorry,Ryan shell (talk) 02:10, 7 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Ditto - the only related edit I've made was reverting vandalism to Gatorade. Good luck with the project though! --Bonadea (talk) 19:10, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

Template:Flagship University has been nominated for deletion. You are invited to comment on the discussion at the template's entry on the Templates for Deletion page. Thank you. — Lovelac 7 02:45, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I am sorry to displease you. That was not my intention. I'm certainly not dead-set against deletion. I'd just like to get a community consensus on what to do. You're certainly welcome to state your case on the TFD page. I'll keep up with the discussion there.

Cordially, Lovelac 7 03:16, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Manning J. Dauer
A tag has been placed on Manning J. Dauer 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 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 indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  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 would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Dauer
Hi there. Thanks for your note. The problem with the article is not that the judge is not notable, it is that you have not demonstrated significant notability. Saying he is notable is not enough. It won't be up to me if it is deleted or not; you may wish to begin improving the article to show notability, or at least make note on the talk page that you intend to do so soon. --Pgagnon999 (talk) 02:51, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

I upgraded by removing the sd and replacing with a notability tag; please put more context into the article. For instance, you mention that he wrote books. What kind of books? What books specifically? And that he contributed to the Florida constitution rewirte. How was his contribution important? What was it? These are the kind of things you need to tell the reader that this fellow is more than just an ordinary judicial figure. --Pgagnon999 (talk) 04:09, 22 January 2008 (UTC)--Pgagnon999 (talk) 04:02, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the GFDL-self tag can be used to release it under the GFDL.

Tilde
Hi there. In case you didn't know, when you add content to talk pages and Wikipedia pages that have open discussion, you should sign your posts by typing four tildes ( &#126;&#126;&#126;&#126; ) at the end of your comment. On many keyboards, the tilde is entered by holding the Shift key, and pressing the key with the tilde pictured. You may also click on the signature button located above the edit window. This will automatically insert a signature with your name and the time you posted the comment. This information is useful because other editors will be able to tell who said what, and when. Thank you!

My memoirs of UF
Hi Jccort,

I and my wife Nandini Nimbkar (who got the most distinguished alumnae award in 1997) attended UF from 1975 to 1981. Recently I have published my memoirs of those times http://www.nariphaltan.org/usexp.pdf If you think appropriate then these can be added to the UF wikipedia that you nicely and thoughtfully edit.

Cheers. Anil K Rajvanshi —Preceding unsigned comment added by Akraj (talk • contribs) 16:50, 9 February 2008 (UTC)
