Speedy deletion nomination of Guy Bullock


A tag has been placed on Guy Bullock requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section R2 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a redirect to an article talk page, image description page, image talk page, mediawiki page, mediawiki talk page, category talk page, portal talk page, template talk page, help talk, user page, or user talk page from the article space.

If you think that your 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.

User page move
It is highly inappropriate and totally disrespectful to move a user's sandbox page into mainspace without even asking if the page can be moved or is even ready for primetime. It was my sandbox and I decide what and when to do anything with it. If you wanted to contribute to it or suggest it should be moved you should have the decency to at least ask on my talk page. I was not ready with it and had much more work to do as I had only just stared this page a few days previously. Now that it has been moved there are only five days to prepare it for any possible WP:DYK entry. Basically you have deprived me of that possibility which I try to do for all my new article if they are interesting enough. I have several sandbox draft articles none of which are ready and some have been started a long time ago; I decide when they are ready unless someone writes their own article. ww2censor (talk) 15:34, 17 February 2013 (UTC)


 * Hi. I've moved it back, pending consensus for the move. It's really a good idea to check with others before moving their workspaces into article space for the reasons ww2censor discusses above - and the obvious and unstated reason that it upsets people when you don't. :) Please work with ww2censor on this issue. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 15:57, 17 February 2013 (UTC)


 * If you would like to participate in improving the draft I started and work on it until we think it is really ready, I'll be happy to work with you on that. Use my talk page, or the draft article's talk page, to make suggestions and agree on what needs doing. ww2censor (talk) 16:02, 17 February 2013 (UTC)


 * I am sorry about this. I have not seen a sandbox page before and thought it had got lost somehow. You are clearly more experienced that me! I am glad you are doing it. Fivebills (talk) 16:09, 17 February 2013 (UTC)


 * No real harm done. When you go to a user's contributions, at the bottom you will see a link to "Subpages". These the users subpages for various things including drafts of future articles. Indeed I have been around for over 7 years with more than 70,000 edits so you might called that a bit more experienced. I actually should have put a usersandbox notice on the page and maybe that would have alerted you. So let's see if we can get time into better shape and them put it online. If there are things you want to add please make sure to use and provide proper citations as I have done. There is not too much wroitten about bullock so a little more digging is necessary unless you have some books that I don't have access to. The useful links section is just for ongoing references at this time and the categories are commented out until it goes into mainspace. Good luck. ww2censor (talk) 16:29, 17 February 2013 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the offer. I shall what I can turn up and add what I can find Fivebills (talk) 16:55, 17 February 2013 (UTC)
