Speedy deletion of Nia Glassie
A tag has been placed on Nia Glassie, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to have no meaningful content or history, and the text is unsalvageably incoherent. If the page you created was a test, please use the sandbox for any other experiments you would like to do. Feel free to leave a message on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

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. ~ Richmond 96  t  •  c   23:00, 18 November 2008 (UTC)

Not deleted, thank goodness
I took a look at the tagged version of the article, it seemed fine to me. It looks great now (well, as great as any article about a tragedy can be). I'm slightly embarrassed on behalf of Kiwi Wikipedians that the article wasn't created sooner - all credit to you mate.

 * I think the main issue is that Wikipedia discourages articles about people notable only for a single incident (including their death). The guideline is to write articles about the case/incident rather than the victim. However, deletion was not the correct solution for that problem! I have moved the page (to Nia Glassie case and partly rewritten the introduction accordingly. Note also that subjective words such as "heinous" should be avoided except in direct quotes with attribution. dramatic (talk) 22:53, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

Nomination of Nia Glassie abuse case
Hi. I've nominated Nia Glassie abuse case, an article you worked on, for consideration to appear on the Main Page as part of Did you know. You can see the hook for the article at Template talk:Did you know, where you can improve it if you see fit. ~ User:Ameliorate!  (with the !) (talk) 00:26, 20 November 2008 (UTC)
