Proposed deletion of Oliver D. Crisp


The article Oliver D. Crisp has been proposed for deletion because, under Wikipedia policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the prod blp tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can when you are ready to add one. Eeekster (talk) 00:47, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Oliver D. Crisp


A tag has been placed on Oliver D. Crisp 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 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 see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, 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. Eeekster (talk) 00:48, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

Status and Advice
I rescued this, buy adding at least his books from WorldCat. Please do not write articles which do not make the importance clear to those who may not know the subject. Additionally, all biographies of living people in Wikipedia needs at least one good third-party reference to verify the material, and will be deleted otherwise. Please add 1/his basic bio: birthplace and date, degrees, exact positions held, 2/reviews of his books  3/his published peer-reviewed articles. It is fundamentally the reviews of the books that prove he is an authority in his field and thus notable by WP:PROF, I advise you to fix the problem, and do this very quickly, before the article gets nominated for deletion by a regular deletion process. I will take a look to see what I can do with the others that were deleted earlier.  DGG ( talk ) 05:05, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
