Speedy deletion nomination of Grace Clement


A tag has been placed on Grace Clement requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

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; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Shadowjams (talk) 04:59, 9 December 2010 (UTC)

Advice
Hi. Welcome, again. A few bits of advice: Regards, JohnCD (talk) 11:52, 9 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Read WP:Your first article which will save you a lot of wasted effort.
 * The way we decide whether a subject is of enough general interest to have a Wikipedia article is to ask whether it has notability, which is defined as having "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." That applies to books, real people, fictional characters, companies... any subject. So unless a fictional character has been the subject of independent comment (like Sherlock Holmes or Long John Silver), an article about them is not likely to be kept.
 * If you are interested in writing about books, see WP:WAF
 * You need to give the reader some context, so that s/he knows what the article is going to be about. If you just plunge in "Margret Day was involved in the Undergroud Railroad and goes on to marry March," the reader has no idea who March is or what is going on. WP:Writing better articles has useful tips.
