Speedy deletion nomination of Phoenix Lodge No. 8 A.F. & A.M. of North Carolina


A tag has been placed on Phoenix Lodge No. 8 A.F. & A.M. of North Carolina 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 club, 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 the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but 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 yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent 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. West Eddy (talk) 20:34, 5 May 2012 (UTC)

John Louis Taylor
Hello. Thanks for adding lodge membership to John Louis Taylor. What is your source for that? Needs to be a book or reliable web site (no, the website of Phoenix Lodge website is not a reliable source… sorry). Have the records of that lodge been digitized at UNC Chapel Hill? (the Documenting the Old South project). If so then that could be used. Was he a charter member of that lodge? (probably not) but his name on the charter could be used as a cite. Maybe there’s a mention of his lodge membership somewhere on the Grand Lode’s website or an article about him at some point in the North Carolina Mason. Please understand I am trying to help you, not give you a hard time. That being said, please bookmark my talk page and ask me any questions you might have. Thanks, Eric Cable  |  Talk  (Senior Deacon, Temple Lodge No. 676 Charlotte) 15:28, 2 January 2013(UTC)
