Proposed deletion of Willem and Louis van der Merwe


The article Willem and Louis van der Merwe has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * No clear evidence of notability - reaching the finals of a single competition (and failing) isn't enough. Fails WP:N

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. The Speedy Deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and Articles for Deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. andy (talk) 17:27, 14 November 2009 (UTC)
