Proposed deletion of William Duthie (disambiguation)
Hello, Chéplou

Welcome to Wikipedia! I edit here too, under the username Pppery, and I thank you for your contributions.

I wanted to let you know, however, that I've proposed an article that you started, William Duthie (disambiguation), for deletion because it meets one or more of our deletion criteria, and I don't think that it is suitable for inclusion in the encyclopedia. The particular issue can be found in the notice that is now visible at the top of the article.

If you wish to contest the deletion:


 * 1) [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=&action=edit Edit the page]
 * 2) Remove the text that looks like this:
 * 3) Click the  button.

If you object to the article's deletion, please remember to explain why you think the article should be kept on the article's talk page and improve the page to address the issues raised in the deletion notice. Otherwise, it may be deleted later by other means.

If you have any questions, please leave a comment here and prepend it with. And remember to sign your reply with. Thanks!

 * Hi, IMHO it would be kind to at least mention which of the 14 criteria you think were met by this small article, the purpose of which seems obvious: disambiguate between historical figures bearing the same name, a common research nightmare for which Wikipedia is the expected antidote. Anyway, someone else had another opinion, and as you can figure out, I intend to carry on making blue at least one of the red links, if nobody discourages me before doing so.

 * The above is an automated message that I had no influence over the wording of, and in any case I didn't use one of Wikipedia's 14 speedy deletion criteria but instead the proposed deletion process which allows freeform reasoning. The reason for deletion was that you did things in the wrong order; you should create the articles before creating the disambiguation pages to navigate them, as we don't allow red links on disambiguation pages unless they are mentioned by an existing article. I'm not sure how I could have figured out your intentions. * Pppery * it has begun... 21:49, 12 August 2022 (UTC)

William Duthie (author) moved to draftspace
An article you recently created, William Duthie (author), is not suitable 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 click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.
