Speedy deletion nomination of William Watson Junior


A tag has been placed on William Watson Junior 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.  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   14:32, 30 June 2016 (UTC)


 * I have removed the deletion tag from this article and had a look at some of the artwork here. The problem with moderately significant figures from the 19th and early 20th centuries is they tend to draw a blank in online sources, which makes it difficult to fact-check things. Perhaps you might have more success writing about the Watson Family of artists in general? Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  14:38, 30 June 2016 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of William Watson Junior


The article William Watson Junior has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * No indication of notability, studying with notable painters doesn't make him notable. This looks like a bit of genealogy with no proper sources

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on |the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
