Oldham West by-election
Thank you for your recent edits on the Oldham West by-election. All edits on wikipedia need to be backed up by reliable sources (RS). You can read more about these here - WP:RS. Basically, in the case of a parliamentary candidate it means news articles, biogs on party websites, etc. Some of the information you posted is contained in the link to the LibDem website found on the page, so it can stay. As yet, we don not have any RS which back up some of the other information. If you could provide such a source then some of the information can be restored.

Sure, I believe everything about Jane Brophy can be found in links already on the page. About the Labour candidate the information can be found at these sources http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/uk/jeremy-corbyn-backs-jim-mcmahon-to-win-oldham-poll-with-decent-britain-focus-34175337.html, http://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/pa/article-3307563/Jeremy-Corbyn-backs-Jim-McMahon-win-Oldham-poll-decent-Britain-focus.html and http://www.newstatesman.com/politics/staggers/2015/11/whos-jeremy-corbyns-candidate-oldham-west-and-royton


 * There's nothing on the LibDem Voice article apart from that she works for the NHS in Greater Manchester and has been a councillor for 15 years. With regards to McMahon, he has his own article Jim McMahon (politician) where some of the biographial info could be added. It's not really relevant to the by-election. If it becomes relevant as the campaign progresses then we can change. If you disagree and wanted to get other views on proposed edits to McMahon or Brophy, you will be able to get the opinions of more than just me at Talk:Oldham West and Royton by-election, 2015. This page can also be accessed from the "Talk" tab, top left, on the main by-election article. Frinton100 (talk) 00:23, 9 November 2015 (UTC)


 * I see you have created an article for Jane Brophy. Wikipedia has notability criteria that subjects of articles have to meet. Being a candidate in a by-election and being a councillor alone does not make people notable. The full criteria for politicians can be found at WP:POLITICIAN. I had added an Article for Deletion (AfD) tag to the article and was going to open it up for discussion, but I changed my mind at the last minute and deleted it to give you longer to write the article. However, it is still possible that another user may do the same. If Brophy has no further notability under the politics rules, or other notability criteria (WP:NOTABILITY) then it is likely the article would be deleted following an AfD tagging. If you think there are other notability criteria that she meets (for example a career or achievements outside politics that has resulted in significant coverage) then they should be added. I am happy to help write any of this content. Frinton100 (talk) 23:36, 9 November 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Jane Brophy


A tag has been placed on Jane Brophy, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles 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 seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Business for more information.
 * 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.

If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. red dogsix (talk) 00:29, 10 November 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Jane Brophy


A tag has been placed on Jane Brophy requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This article or image appears to be a direct copy from http://www.traffordlibdems.org.uk/index.php/councillors/timperley-ward/jane-brophy. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Requesting copyright permission.
