Speedy deletion nomination of David Bennett Thomas


A tag has been placed on David Bennett Thomas 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.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but 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 yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Keystoner idin (speak) 18:18, 8 July 2012 (UTC)


 * Mr Thomas, welcome to Wikipedia but (although we do not explain it as well as we should at sign-up time) this is not a site like Myspace or LinkedIn for people to write about themselves. As a project to build an encyclopedia, Wikipedia is selective about subjects for articles, see also WP:Notability (people) and WP:MUSICBIO; and writing about oneself or ones own concerns is strongly discouraged, for reasons explained at Autobiography, Conflict of interest and Wikipedia is not about YOU. The links in the Welcome message at the top of this page will tell you more. Regards, JohnCD (talk) 22:28, 8 July 2012 (UTC)
