Speedy deletion of John Gunthorpe
A tag has been placed on John Gunthorpe 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 or group of people, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

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 article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. [Jam] [talk] 04:47, 16 July 2008 (UTC)


 * As reviewing administrator, I think the article asserts importance--but where did you get the information from. If you copied it, and the source is later than 1920, you must rewrite it in your own words entirely--and still give the source of information. If earlier, you must at least cite it and indicate exactly what you copied. I'd advise you to add this very quickly, before it gets nominated for regular deletion. And see WP:FIRST for some general advice about writing articles. DGG (talk) 06:36, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
