Speedy deletion nomination of James L. Walker, Jr.


A tag has been placed on James L. Walker, Jr. 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 read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to 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, you can place a request here. red dog six (talk) 00:39, 10 March 2014 (UTC)

Your contributed article, James L. Walker, Esq.


Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, James L. Walker, Esq.. 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 – James L. Walker, Jr.. 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 James L. Walker, Jr. – 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 "Click here to 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, 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. red dog six (talk) 00:47, 10 March 2014 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for message. You can sign your comments automatically using four tildes ~. Please add your messages to the bottom of a talk page, or they may be overlooked. I deleted your article because the notability seems to rest on one case, and the tone of the text was promotional. I've restored the text now, and made these edits to address the problem of non-neutral text. I strongly advise you not to re-add that text. I am still not convinced he is notable, so you will see that I have initiated a deletion discussion where you will be able to make your case for keeping the article. Good luck  Jimfbleak -  talk to me?  06:49, 11 March 2014 (UTC)
