If what you have done in life is genuinely notable and can be verified according to our policy for articles about living people, someone else will probably create an article about you sooner or later (see Wikipedians with articles). If you wish to add to an existing article about yourself, please propose the changes on its talk page. Please understand that this is an encyclopedia and not a personal web space or social networking site. If your article has already been deleted, please see: Why was my page deleted?, and if you feel the deletion was an error, please discuss it with the deleting administrator. Thank you. 331dot (talk) 20:24, 7 January 2017 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of William Lathrop Jr.


The article William Lathrop Jr. has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern:
 * No independent reliable sources offered to indicate meeting notability guidelines. Searches only bring up social media(and others with the same name); no sources offered to indicate notability of the award

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. 331dot (talk) 01:46, 8 January 2017 (UTC)
