Speedy deletion nomination of Sheldon Pinnell
A tag has been placed on Sheldon Pinnell, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion debate, such as at articles for deletion. Under the specified criteria, where an article has substantially identical content to that of an article deleted after debate, and any changes in the content do not address the reasons for which the material was previously deleted, it may be deleted at any time.

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), 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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

AfD Nomination: Sheldon Pinnell
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia! We welcome and appreciate your contributions, but all Wikipedia articles must meet our criteria for inclusion (see What Wikipedia is not and Deletion policy). Since it does not seem that Sheldon Pinnell meets these criteria, an editor has started a discussion about whether this article should be kept or deleted.

Your opinion on whether this article meets the inclusion criteria is welcome. Please contribute to the discussion by adding your comments at Articles for deletion/Sheldon Pinnell. Don't forget to add four tildes ( ~ ) at the end of each of your comments to sign them.

Discussions such as these usually last seven days. In the meantime, you are free to edit the content of the article. Please do not remove the "articles for deletion" template (the box at the top). When the discussion has concluded, a neutral third party will consider all comments and decide whether or not to delete the article. PDCook (talk) 14:27, 14 January 2010 (UTC)

Sheldon Pinnell
After some digging, an editor found that Pinnell was a professor with a named chair at Duke. That automatically makes the person notable. If the Sheldon Pinnell article had mentioned this, deletion would not even have been attempted. So if you wish to create biographical articles in the future, I recommend reviewing WP:Bio and indicating in the article (preferably in the first few lines) what makes the person notable. I'll be working on this article and removing some content, adding other content, so please review it. Regards, PDCook (talk) 20:53, 14 January 2010 (UTC)
