Speedy deletion nomination of Hans Caspar WÜSTER


A tag has been placed on Hans Caspar WÜSTER, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
 * It is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. (See section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Wikipedia has standards for the minimum necessary information to be included in short articles; you can see these at Wikipedia:Stub. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.
 * It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, 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. (See section A7 of 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 this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. ‡ Єl Cid, Єl Caɱ̩peador ᐐT₳LKᐬ  01:54, 1 August 2017 (UTC)

Wikipedia and copyright
Hello Karahunter, and welcome to Wikipedia. All or some of your addition(s) to Henry Troth have been removed, as it appears to have added copyrighted material without evidence of permission from the copyright holder. While we appreciate your contributing to Wikipedia, there are certain things you must keep in mind about using information from your sources to avoid copyright or plagiarism issues here.


 * You can only copy/translate a small amount of a source, and you must mark what you take as a direct quotation with double quotation marks (") and cite the source using an inline citation. You can read about this at Non-free content in the sections on "text". See also Help:Referencing for beginners, for how to cite sources here.
 * Aside from limited quotation, you must put all information in your own words and structure, in proper paraphrase. Following the source's words too closely can create copyright problems, so it is not permitted here; see Close paraphrasing. (There is a college-level introduction to paraphrase, with examples, hosted by the Online Writing Lab of Purdue.) Even when using your own words, you are still, however, asked to cite your sources to verify information and to demonstrate that the content is not original research.
 * Our primary policy on using copyrighted content is Copyrights. You may also want to review Copy-paste.
 * If you own the copyright to the source you want to copy or are a designated agent, you may be able to license that text so that we can publish it here. However, there are steps that must be taken to verify that license before you do. See Donating copyrighted materials.
 * In very rare cases (that is, for sources that are public domain or compatibly licensed), it may be possible to include greater portions of a source text. However, please seek help at the help desk before adding such content to the article. 99.9% of sources may not be added in this way, so it is necessary to seek confirmation first. If you do confirm that a source is public domain or compatibly licensed, you will still need to provide full attribution; see Plagiarism for the steps you need to follow.
 * Also note that Wikipedia articles may not be copied or translated without attribution. If you want to copy or translate from another Wikipedia project or article, you can, but please follow the steps in Copying within Wikipedia.

It's very important that contributors understand and follow these practices, as policy requires that people who persistently do not must be blocked from editing. If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. — Diannaa 🍁 (talk) 21:29, 1 August 2017 (UTC)

John Griffen, Jr. (1812-1884)
There are a lot of formatting issues with the article John Griffen, Jr. (1812-1884). Please consult Manual of Style/Biography, or compare to any quality biography (e.g. William Shakespeare or Sissy Spacek). Do not link non-notable people. Do not place surnames in ALL CAPS. Do not use bold text any more than needed (usually only once per article), as covered in MOS:BOLD. "(1812-1884)" is not part of Griffen's name, so there is no need to add it more than once. Cheers, --Animalparty! (talk) 05:27, 9 July 2018 (UTC)

Wikipedia is not a Genealogy site
Hi you may want to read this WP:NOTGENEALOGY as your first articles all have the same problem. As User:Bearcat, User:Johnpacklambert, User:Bearian and User:BigHaz all pointed out during the previous deletion discussions wikipedia is not a genealogy site. I have moved your latest article Draft:John Griffen, Jr. to draft space to give you a chance to work on it as the subject may well be notable but you must read Manual of Style/Biography.

I would strongly advise you to go through article submission at WP:AFC where experienced editors can review the article and advise you on how to improve it if they consider that it does not meet the level required. Just a friendly reminder that if you continue to ignore the advice given to you on your talk page and the comments on the different deletion discussions your editing may be considered as being WP:DISRUPTIVE and could lead to a block. Happy editing. Dom from Paris (talk) 13:38, 20 July 2018 (UTC)

John Griffen, Jr. (1812-1884) Wikipedia Page "Draft"
My sincere apologies for all the numerous edits. I am a new user and am a bit "green" to the process to say the least. John Griffen, Jr. (1812-1884) was an accomplished engineer, iron master and inventor. In 1886, the American Society of Civil Engineers, reflected on the life an accomplishments of John Griffen, Jr. (1812-1884), stating that along with the "Griffen Gun", his other inventions were regarded of the greatest importance for facilitating the operations connected with the iron industry. There is no lack of information regarding his life, accomplishments, his multiple patents and his place in history. Seems everyone knows who he is, knows the "Griffen Gun", but there is nothing about him in one place that outlines his accomplishments and his historical role in the iron industry. I would be valuable for Wikipedia to include even a portion of the information I provided. I am happy to shorten the page to include only his life works, but am not sure if that is the right direction to take. If you could please advise. Thank you so very much and have a nice day.
