Your contributed article, Anthony Peters bio


Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Anthony Peters bio. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Anthony Peters. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Anthony Peters – you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think the article you created should remain separate, 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, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. KGirlTrucker81talk what I'm been doing 20:17, 19 August 2016 (UTC)

Anthony Peters
Hi Dan! Thanks for adding the info you did at the Anthony Peters article. I've formatted it into the usual track athlete style. Hope you don't mind. Sorry about all the warnings you got when you tried to add the info in the first place! I good rule of thumb is to put the athlete's highest level of competition front and center (IAAF World Race Walking Team Championships in Peters' case) as that will let people know that the subject is worthy of an article. Thanks! SFB 21:45, 19 August 2016 (UTC)
