Speedy deletion nomination of Anne Galbraith Carey


A tag has been placed on Anne Galbraith Carey, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page 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. Please read the guidelines on spam and FAQ/Organizations for more information.

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 "Click here to 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, you can place a request here.

Hi. One of the big problems with this article was it mostly duplicated the content at Gilman School. An article on this lady herself should focus on her primarily, with info relating to her direct involvement with the school, and not general info about the school itself. You have to do some searching to come up with sources for factual biographical info, such as her birth, parents, upbringing, schooling, work, involvement in organizations, personal details - husband/children, and death. You'll want to maintain a neutral, factual tone.

Here's the Google books search: and the regular search:.

You may want to work on this in a sandbox (like User:Mandkbishop/Sandbox) - just click on that red link to start it. Once you've put something together, I could help with referencing and the rest, and moving it to mainspace. You can take a quick look at Mark Kharitonov, my last bio article, to get an idea of what you'd want for a start-class article. INeverCry  22:11, 19 March 2013 (UTC)
