Speedy deletion nomination of Hayley Winki Watters
Hello Chassis22,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Hayley Winki Watters for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Archanine (talk) 21:43, 5 March 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Nick Ross (racing driver)


Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on Nick Ross (racing driver) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

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.

Advice
Welcome to Wikipedia. An encyclopedia article needs to be more than just a sentence or two. Read WP:Your first article for advice; also check out WP:Verifiability, summarised as "any material challenged or likely to be challenged must be attributed to a reliable, published source."

As a minimum, to avoid speedy deletion, an article should make clear why its subject is important or significant enough to have an encyclopedia article. If it is to be kept, it needs references, for two reasons: (a) for verifiability, and {b} because Wikipedia has an inclusion criterion called Notability, which is not a matter of opinion but has to be demonstrated by showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." There are more detailed notability guidelines for particular areas, such as WP:NMOTORSPORT.

If you want to take time over making an article, a good way is to click on Help:Userspace draft and fill in the title. That will make a draft page in your user space where you can work on the article without the risk of premature deletion.
