Restoring the draft on Lisa Martin
To expand on what I said on the IRC help channel: The deleted draft's content was copy-pasted from Lisa Martin's own website. Since that website was written for an entirely different purpose than an encyclopedia article, it would need to be rewritten in its entirety to comply with Wikipedia's content guidelines, particularly WP:NPOV and WP:SPAM. You'd need to find reliable published sources that are independent of Martin (such as articles about her written by newspapers or reputable magazines) that back up the content and verify what you wrote. It's far easier to start with those sources and to summarize (in your own words!) what they say about Martin than to try and salvage the deleted content. Huon (talk) 21:19, 23 October 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Lisa Martin (Author)


A tag has been placed on Lisa Martin (Author) 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 credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about 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 deleting administrator.
