Speedy deletion of John Hall (John Stalder)
A tag has been placed on John Hall (John Stalder) 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.

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), 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. - 2 ... says you, says me, suggestion box 20:21, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

Re: John Hall (John Stalder)
Hi, I'm not trying to be unwelcoming or discouraging, but the article you wrote on Hall reads like an obituary. Wikipedia is not a memorial site - articles about individuals need to show how that individual is notable, usually by citing third party, non trivial sources. Articles about individuals that fail to do this are frequently speedily deleted. Let me know if I can help in any way with citing sources or if you have any other questions. Cheers! - 2 ... says you, says me, suggestion box 20:28, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

Well I am working on it... deleting it 5 minutes after I posted it is a VERY DISCOURAGING.. I was in the process of editing it.. It is linked from a "notable Natives" page and I am just trying to work out the details.... please do not delete.... give me some time here PLEASE.. I am new at this. This is my FATHER and I would very much LIKE TO HONOR HIS MEMORY....... I did not add him to the "notable Natives" and was just today informed it was there.


 * The purpose of Wikipedia is to report on notable subjects. A quick search of of his name shows nothing that is non-trivial, third party that would meet the requirements set forth in WP:BIO. You might also want to read your first article. - 2 ... says you, says me, suggestion box 21:17, 1 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Just wanted to let you know that I removed the speedy deletion tag, and started a deletion discussion so that wider community input can be sought. This will run for seven days, please feel free to comment there. - 2 ... says you, says me, suggestion box 21:29, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
