Speedy deletion nomination of Frank Crichlow
A tag has been placed on Frank Crichlow 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, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles – see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  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 hangon 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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. --ZhongHan (Email) 06:34, 28 September 2010 (UTC)

Managing a conflict of interest
Hello, Africanfuturist. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places or things you have written about on the page Bertram Charles, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a conflict of interest may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for article subjects for more information. We ask that you:


 * avoid editing or creating articles about yourself, your family, friends, colleagues, company, organization, clients, or competitors;
 * propose changes on the talk pages of affected articles (you can use the edit COI template);
 * disclose your conflict of interest when discussing affected articles (see );
 * avoid linking to your organization's website in other articles (see );
 * do your best to comply with Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you are required by the Wikimedia Foundation's terms of use to disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution which forms all or part of work for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation. See Paid-contribution disclosure.

Also, editing for the purpose of advertising, publicising, or promoting anyone or anything is not permitted. Thank you.  Dank Jae  21:45, 28 March 2024 (UTC)


 * Hello Dank Jae,
 * Although Bertram Charles has been dead for 30 years, I did meet him once in Georgetown, Guyana and I do have an external connection with him. The article I created about him was scrupulously researched from confirmable online references. I have omitted facts that I know about him that don't have confirmable sources for. I can see there have been a good number of contributions that confirm and enlarge on the facts that I have provided. Going forward, I will be happy to enter a COI as you have suggested.
 * Best wishes,
 * AF africanfuturist (talk) 09:41, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
 * I don't see any glaring issues with the article itself, and thanks for it, but writing about family (as stated on your userpage) is still a COI, although I believe you made the article as neutral as you could! Going forward, try and limit writing on these COI topics, and any COIs should at least be more publicly disclosed. I just wished to alert you, but I personally don't wish to escalate this further. Kind regards and thank you for your efforts.  Dank Jae  20:01, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
