PROD2 of Dwyer function
I noticed that you added a PROD2 template to Dwyer function as a way of trying to oppose the proposed deletion. This is a mistake as the PROD2 template is intended to indicate that you "endorse the proposal to delete". To oppose it, if that is really what you want to do, "you may remove [the PROD templates] if you improve the article or otherwise object to its deletion for any reason. To avoid confusion, it helps to explain why you object to the deletion, either in the edit summary or on the talk page." In other words, you remove all the PRODs rather than add another one to save the article. JRSpriggs (talk) 12:52, 22 April 2008 (UTC)


 * I removed the PROD because the article was AfD'ed (see next section of talk). Having both of them at the same time seems inappropriate to me (normally AfD is the next step taken by those who want to delete an article, after their PROD is removed). You seemed to want to save the article, but not to realize that you have permission to remove the PROD, and indeed someone must remove it to achieve that objective.

Iridium (Satellite Phone)
Hi - just a quick note that the page you created at Iridium (Satellite Phone) which contained only an external link to Iridium's site has been marked for deletion, because a large amount of content on the company and handsets is already available at the main Iridium page here Iridium Satellite LLC, and I hope you'll continue to contribute there. Also, pages consisting of nothing but external links are not usually considered encyclopedic. Regards.  7   talk   14:08, 16 May 2009 (UTC)



A tag has been placed on John Dwyer (professor) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, 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. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the article (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. Rcawsey (talk) 19:10, 11 November 2009 (UTC)

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  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  will stop the Proposed Deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.
