Speedy deletion nomination of Arthur Adamson


A tag has been placed on Arthur Adamson 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, 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.

Speedy deletion nomination of Bob Addison


A tag has been placed on Bob Addison 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.

Speedy deletion nomination of Jack Adamson


A tag has been placed on Jack Adamson requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject of the article is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding  at the top of the article, immediately below the speedy deletion  tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate), and providing your reasons for contesting on the article's talk page, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. You may freely add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

You may want to read the guidelines for specific types of articles: biographies, websites, bands, or companies. Drmies (talk) 05:21, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Mileskane, if you keep on creating poorly written and unverified articles, they will keep getting nominated for deletion. At least make clear what the subject is, and indicate the sources for this information. Drmies (talk) 05:21, 30 November 2010 (UTC)

Australian footballers
I would like to help you improve these articles. Make sure each one has a reliable reference. Some of them do, but not all of them. Also, make sure you state that each one played for AFL/VFL, as that is key to passing the notability criteria. If I can help, please let me know,  jsfouche &#9789;&#9790; Talk 05:57, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your contributions, but please slow down. You're making loads of short articles very quickly: all of them have a single broken reference, none of them explain who they are to a reader unfamiliar the subject, or why they're notable. Please ask if you need help cleaning up the ones you've created: I suspect they'll simply get deleted if they're left as-is. Thanks, Invitrovanitas (talk) 11:41, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
 * I couldn't even tell they were about football players. And what is "South Melbourne"? Drmies (talk) 15:35, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
 * Paul Atkins (Australian rules footballer): This is a last request  to take the advice other editors have provided. Please include references (correctly  displayed without  naked URLs), infoboxes, categories, and stub templates with  your creations. You  know more about this subject than we do, so  why  should we clean up after you? The next message will  be official warnings about disruptive editing, which may  eventually  lead to you being  blocked from  editing  the encyclopedia. Cheers.--Kudpung (talk) 03:36, 1 December 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi there, I see that some of the editors above became quite irritable at you, but please, don't be discouraged. I've just gone through all the articles that you created and I've tidied them up a bit. Anyway, I understand that all the rules and regulations that Wikipedia has can be daunting at first, especially things like infoboxes, categories, and stub templates (which I've now added to all your creations). So take a look at what I've done and maybe spend some time editing some articles that have already been created so you can get more of a feel for how Wikipedia works (God knows we have a lot of AFL articles in very average condition). That being said, I do encourage you to continue creating articles (yours were a lot better than the rubbish I first created). The key is to say that they played senior VFL/AFL football, which means they pass WP:NSPORTS (the sports notability guideline) and remember to cite your sources (don't listen to the nonsense above, bare URLs are fine for beginners), especially if you are using the The Encyclopedia of AFL Footballers book, which I assume you are. Back to my main point, please don't stop, your work is appreciated (we need as many editors as we can get when it comes to old VFL players) and if you do create any more articles, or even if you have any questions at all, feel free to leave me a message on my talk page and I'll help you as best I can.

Disambiguation link notification
Hi. When you recently edited England cricket team, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Rodney Marsh (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
