Speedy deletion nomination of Milton Slauson
A tag has been placed on Milton Slauson 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), 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. Æk (talk) 03:54, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from a page you have created yourself. If you do not believe the page should be deleted, you can place a tag on the page, under the existing speedy deletion tag (please do not remove the speedy deletion tag), and make your case on the page's. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Æk (talk) 04:43, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

Article about Milton Slauson‎‎
Hi. Thank you for working to improve the article about Milton Slauson‎‎. However, it still needs a lot of work. First of all, Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, and articles need to conform to the Manual of Style (see especially the section on biographies). This entails removing kinship terms from the article. Secondly, because of Wikipedia's copyright policy, text from external websites can't be used except under specific conditions. The inclusion of a large chunk of text from another website in the article violates this policy. In order to improve the article, have a read over the above-linked guides, as well as the policies about notability, reliable sources and conflicts of interest. If you think you can improve the article to meet with the standards, place the hangon template below the speedy deletion template on the article page, which I have restored. -- Æk (talk) 04:55, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
