User talk:Hollywood 14

Welcome to Wikipedia. A page you recently created, United States Department of Roads, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for new pages, so it will shortly be removed (if it hasn't been already). Please use the sandbox for any tests, and consider using the Article Wizard. For more information about creating articles, you may want to read Your first article. You may also want to read our introduction page to learn more about contributing. Thank you. See WP:V. NawlinWiki (talk) 15:35, 13 April 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Pam Bray


A tag has been placed on Pam Bray 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, contest the deletion by clicking on the button that looks like this: which appears inside of the speedy deletion  tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, 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. Zakhalesh (talk) 17:43, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

Notability and references
I'm afraid your article on your teacher failed because by Wikipedia's standards she doesn't seem to be notable enough. This is not saying she isn't a good teacher or a great person. We can't have articles on everyone, so we have WP:BIO which is our policy on biographies and WP:RS which is our policy on reliable sources which you need for an article to prove things. When you try again with an article, put it in your userspace first, on a subpage. If you don't know how, ask me on my talk page. Then you can have it checked out before it gets released into mainspace. But read those policies before you do anything. If it's not a bio, look at WP:GNG which is general notability. (RS still comes in too, of course.) If you can't find the references (sources), it's probably not worth your while starting. You can ask me or any admin or regular editor for advice.
