Welcome!

Hello, Barbaraw9999, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, such as Laurie penny, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines, and may soon be deleted.

Speedy deletion nomination of Laurie penny


A tag has been placed on Laurie penny 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.

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 hang-on 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. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 22:28, 28 March 2011 (UTC)


 * The lack of a capital letter on her name wasn't the problem (that's easily fixed). It was the lack of references to reliable sources that would allow us to assess how notable she is by Wikipedia standards. Your second effort took care of that problem quite nicely, thank you, and her notability has been shown to be sufficient for an article. I would ask that, in your own time, you take a look at this page about references and alter yours in the article to conform to Wikipedia style. No big hurry, do it as time allows. And if you have any questions, leave a note on my talk page. Thanks! - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 23:07, 28 March 2011 (UTC)

Laurie Penny edits
Hi - there seems to have been a slight misunderstanding over some of my edits to the new piece on Laurie Penny. (And you seem to think that I'm her!) I've set out my reasons at Talk:Laurie Penny, so if you do want to make further edits, instead of our undoing and redoing the same things, it might be more constructive if we talk the thing through on the talk page. I'm sure we can quickly get it sorted. Thanks! Politico234 (talk) 00:45, 29 March 2011 (UTC)
