You can put

Article submitted is a candidate for Speedy Deletion
A tag has been placed on your article Puppet Animation Scotland, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be a biographical account about a person, group of people, or band, but it does not indicate how or why he/she/they is/are notable. If you can indicate why Puppet Animation Scotland is really notable, I advise you to edit the article promptly, and also put a note on Talk:Puppet Animation Scotland. Any admin should check for such edits before deleting the article. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Please read our criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 7 under Articles. You might also want to read our general biography criteria. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. To contest the tagging and request that admins should wait a while for you to assert his/her/their notability, please affix the template  to the page, and then immediately add such an assertion. It is also a very good idea to add citations from reliable sources to ensure that your article will be verifiable. -- Casper2k3 15:34, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

Roy Hendry Thomson
Hi, I moved your page on this person to Roy Hendry Thomson. Wikipedia articles on people generally do not include abbreviations and honorifics in the page title. Also, I don't know what KStJ and DL stand for here. If you want to mention these honors in the article (not the title) please spell out what they stand for.

Make sure the article meets Wikipedia's notability requirement. Biographical articles that fail to meet this standard will be deleted. This can happen very quickly in some cases.--Srleffler 17:34, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

John Hewitt
I've reverted your changes. The Irish John Hewitt is more notable than the footballer. I've provided a disambiguation link to the top of the John Hewitt page. Stu  ’Bout ye!  11:44, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

Unreferenced BLPs
Hello Allydross! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 2 of the articles that you created  are tagged as Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources. If you were to bring these articles up to standards, it would greatly help us with the current Category:All_unreferenced_BLPs article backlog. Once the articles are adequately referenced, please remove the unreferencedBLP tag. Here is the list:

Joy Bryer moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, Joy Bryer, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of " " before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please follow the prompts on the Articles for Creation template atop the page. ... disco spinster   talk  21:18, 12 November 2018 (UTC)
