Speedy deletion nomination of Terry Reintke


A tag has been placed on Terry Reintke 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, organization (band, club, company, etc.), web content or organised event, 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 "Click here to 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, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Proposed deletion of Terry Reintke


The article Terry Reintke has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this newly created biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the prod blp tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can when you are ready to add one. § FreeRangeFrog croak 01:47, 9 August 2014 (UTC)

Hi Camherb, the article should be safe now. I have linked it on Wikidata to the Arabic, French, German and Polish articles, and added links to other Wikipedia articles and information from the German Wikipedia article - and most importantly, references. Quite often, a new page will be evaluated by someone who doesn't know much about the topic - and references let them know it is a notable topic, because one of the ways we define notability here is that other reliable sources have written about it. For a living person, it's absolutely necessary, because as wrote above, on the English Wikipedia we have a policy that new articles about living people must have references. So thank you for creating the article, and please give us more! But next time, don't hit "save" till you have added at least one reference. Note that references can be in a foreign language, and they don't absolutely have to be online. If there is a foreign-language article, as in this case, you will often find a reference there, although I note that Grüne Jugend apparently clear out their archives fairly often and their biography of Reintke is gone. In any case, I'll come back to the article when I have time and add more information and more references if I can, unless someone else does first. Can you point us to any newspaper articles we could use? But now I have to go to bed, sorry! Yngvadottir (talk) 21:39, 9 August 2014 (UTC)
