Speedy deletion of General Sir Anthony Read
A tag has been placed on General Sir Anthony Read 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 article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. TheLetterM (talk) 16:29, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

Your recent biographical articles
Hi Charlie52 and thank you for your recent work on all those biographical articles. Unfortunately some of them have been nominated for deletion, as you can see by the posts above mine. I notice from your contributions that you've been editing Wikipedia on and off since 2008, so please accept my sincere apologies if I'm telling you stuff you already know, but all articles on Wikipedia are subject to our notability policy. This means that enough non-trivial information must exist in reliable published sources to write an article about any subject. Clearly from your referencing you've managed to dig up quite a bit of information. However, for biographical articles there also needs to be enough for the article to be a true biography. The relevant guidance can be found at this page - essentially people that are notable for a single event generally do not merit full biographical treatment (and it can be difficult to find enough information to support a biography, as sources tend to be about the event rather than the person). A case in point would be Hugh Clark (Captain), whose article is largely about the event that led to his MC and not about his life as a whole. In contrast, Tod Sweeney does a much better job of covering the territory we'd normally expect to see in a biography, although even here many editors would find the article borderline.

You might find the guidance developed by the Military history WikiProject here helpful - generally articles whose main claim to notability is the award of a medal other than the VC or similar do not survive deletion debates. There are exceptions and I don't mean to be discouraging, especially when you've put in so much hard work, but I felt that you were at least owed an explanation of what's happening and the reasons behind it. I should also add that Wikipedia's policies are often subjective and open to interpretation, so it's not certain that all the articles will be deleted. A further possibility is that some content may be transferred to a suitable parent article - for example, Pegasus Bridge might well benefit from some of your research even if the articles don't survive. Again I hope that you aren't too put off by the above - most of us have lost articles at some time or another and I appreciate that it can be really upsetting and demotivating. However, I hope this is of some assistance to you. Please feel welcome to post on my talk page if you have any concerns or questions. EyeSerene talk 17:25, 14 September 2011 (UTC)

I should also add that this has stimulated some debate on the milhist project talk page here. Your views would be most welcome. EyeSerene talk 17:49, 14 September 2011 (UTC)

ArbCom elections are now open!
Hi, You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Speedy deletion nomination of Eric Smith (Army officer)


A tag has been placed on Eric Smith (Army officer) 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 credibly 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.

Proposed deletion of Eric Smith (Army officer)


The article Eric Smith (Army officer) has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no reliable references.
