Speedy deletion nomination of James H. "Jack" Pollack
A tag has been placed on James H. "Jack" Pollack 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), 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. noq (talk) 17:44, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

Death date for Jack Pollack
Hi there. I notice that you reference Jack's obituary in your article but you don't mention when he died, I'm guessing it was sometime in early 1977 - could you add that info in to the text? Best, Nancy  talk  18:18, 22 November 2009 (UTC)
 * p.s. I have declined the request for deletion so it is safe enough for now. Nancy  talk  18:22, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

I am writing this article right now. You will see it in due time.


 * Just a quick note. To avoid speedy deletion nominations in future, make sure there is some indication of notability and why the article should exist. If you will take some time to establish that then it may make sense to create the article in a sandbox such as User:Jpmazzei‎/sandbox and then move it to the main article space when it's ready. Alternatively, if you will be making the additions quickly, then add to the top of the article. noq (talk) 19:02, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

Thank you very much for the constructive help. Some of the other criticism has not been so helpful considering I am a first time user.
