Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed maintenance templates from Wikipedia.

If this was a mistake, don't worry, as your removal of this template has been reverted.

Speedy deletion nomination of John J. Maalouf - Attorney


A tag has been placed on John J. Maalouf - Attorney 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 read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Please do not remove speedy deletion notices from pages you have created yourself, as you did with John J. Maalouf. If you believe the page should not be deleted, you may contest the deletion by clicking on the button that says: Contest this speedy deletion, which appears inside the speedy deletion notice. This will allow you to make your case on the article's talk page. Administrators will consider your reasoning before deciding what to do with the article. Thank you.

You may be blocked from editing without further warning the next time you remove a speedy deletion notice from a page you have created yourself, as you did at John J. Maalouf - Attorney. RA 0808 talkcontribs 22:15, 10 September 2015 (UTC)
