Hello, JohnKimberley, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay.

Speedy deletion nomination of Sir Percy Byrnes
A tag has been placed on Sir Percy Byrnes requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, a rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. 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. You may wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

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 hangon 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. 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.

Sir Percy Byrnes
I recently listed this page for speedy deletion, but it has been decided to delay this enough to give you chance to establish a reason why the article should remain. This page looks like a test edit, however, and if that is the case then I would recommend you blank the page to allow it to be removed, and use the sandbox or your userspace for future test edits. If you feel that you can use the time provided by the template to establish the article's importance, however, then feel free to do so.  Giftiger Wunsch    [TALK]  11:55, 26 May 2010 (UTC)
