Speedy deletion nomination of Black Caviar (Horse)


A tag has been placed on Black Caviar (Horse) 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. Fæ (talk) 01:59, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

Apology
As reviewing administrator, I of course did not delete the article. It was tagged one minute after creation, and that should not have happened. (we have not yet figured out how to write   software to prevent this that will deal with all the possibilities, and rely on human judgment, which sometimes is not as good as it ought to be). Please accept my apologies on behalf of the encyclopedia, and I hope you continue to contribute here. while we're at it, the article could use some references to newspaper accounts of the races.
