Speedy deletion nomination of Eduardo Johnson


A tag has been placed on Eduardo Johnson 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 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 hang-on 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. 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.  ttonyb (talk) 04:14, 7 February 2011 (UTC)

Mayor–council government edits
Thanks for finding that good source for the article in the weak-mayor section, but I wanted to ask for clarification on your phrasing. As I noted in my subsequent edit, there's no mayoral system where the mayor has the power to remove a council member, regardless of weak- or strong-mayor, as council members are elected independently, and removing council members would utterly undermine that. I changed it to "officials", as a generic term to refer to council appointees. And I really can't make heads or tails of the last clause of your edit; it just doesn't make sense to me. Are you saying that the mayor isn't treated as being ultimately responsible for the city government, that's probably a better way to phrase it. oknazevad (talk) 03:44, 18 March 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of General law city


A tag has been placed on General law city requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

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 hang-on 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. 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. — Preceding signed comment added by Cymru.lass (talk • contribs) 05:43, 21 March 2011 (UTC)
