Proposed deletion of Sam Riddle, Jr.


The article Sam Riddle, Jr. has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * This article puts significant weight on negative events related to the individual. The article has significant unsourced material including personal quotes. Some of the references are inaccessible due to poorly copied URL's. As it stands, this article appears to be a borderline attack page due to poor sourcing of, and significant emphasis on, scandal and criminal activity.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing  will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. ialsoagree (talk) 18:58, 27 May 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Sam Riddle, Jr.
Please do not make statements attacking people or groups of people. Wikipedia has a strict policy against personal attacks. Attack pages and images are not tolerated by Wikipedia and are speedily deleted. Users who continue to create or repost such pages and images in violation of our biographies of living persons policy will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Thank you.

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 - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. ialsoagree (talk) 19:32, 27 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Hello, I'm afraid I deleted your article because it was a biography of a living person that made negative claims about the subject without providing sufficient reliable sources to back them up. Please consider drafting a neutral version in your userspace. Thank you. HJ Mitchell  &#124;  Penny for your thoughts?   19:41, 27 May 2010 (UTC)
