Speedy deletion nomination of SS Richmond P. Hobson


A tag has been placed on SS Richmond P. Hobson 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, organization (band, club, company, etc.) or web content, 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, 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.

 * OK, I think I jumped the gun with that CSD tag, so my apologies for that. However, when I came across the article it had no references and made no claim to notability.  In the future, you should make sure your articles have at least one reference, so that way we can see 1. that the article isn't a hoax and 2. that there is something notable about it.  It's especially important on topics like this, because frequently the only sources are books that aren't available on the Internet (not the case here, but quite often it is), and even if we run a search we may not find anything.  Don't worry about it; in fact, I'd be more than happy to work on your article a bit.  If you have any questions, just leave a note here or on my talkpage, and I'll get back to you as quickly as I can.  The Blade of the Northern Lights  ( 話して下さい ) 17:05, 10 November 2010 (UTC)
