Speedy deletion nomination of Mary W. Helms


A tag has been placed on Mary W. Helms 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, a group of people, an individual animal, an organization (band, club, company, etc.), web content, or an organized event, 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.

Mary W. Helms
Hello, thanks for writing this article! I’ve just read it and I’m a bit concerned that it has no full-format citations like to websites or books. That worries me since without proof that this person is notable, meaning covered enough in media to get a Wikipedia article on them, the article may get deleted.

Are there any reliable sources (ones not written by or for this person) you can add? If so just edit the article and add citations using the cite tool, or if you have any thoughts or questions just let me know.

As I see you're editing Wikipedia as a project, if you are still drafting your article it might be best to do that on your sandbox until it's ready to go in the main article space. Otherwise you might get responses like the one above... Blythwood (talk) 20:39, 18 February 2016 (UTC)

Culvesam (talk) 17:24, 21 February 2016 (UTC) Hello Blythwood, Thank you for all the information! I am not sure how to draft the article in my sandbox.. This is my first Wikipedia entry and it is for a project.. Any advice would be very appreciated! Thank you

Please let me know what you would like to have considered as your submission for the assignment. Hoopes (talk) 22:37, 24 February 2016 (UTC)

You have not responded to my previous message. It appears that you created the entry Carlos Aguilar Piedra, which is the one on which I am providing comments. Please let me know if this is not correct. Hoopes (talk) 01:16, 22 March 2016 (UTC)
