Speedy deletion of Jeromy Preston Carr Sumner
Welcome to Wikipedia. A page you recently created may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for new pages, so it will shortly be removed (if it hasn't been already). Please use the sandbox for any tests. For more information about creating articles, you may want to read Your first article.

Speedy deletion of Bambi VanBurch
A tag has been placed on Bambi VanBurch 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, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

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), 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 would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Copyvios
Hi Mrsumner, welcome to Wikipedia. I'm sorry to have to tell you that I've reverted your edits to Kirby Van Burch. I appreciate that you gave links to the site you copied the material from, however, please understand that we do not accept material that has been copy and pasted from other sources (books, websites, etc). You need to write the material in your own words. And because Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, it needs to be written in a neutral point of view. This material is promotional material, so regardless of the copyright issue, it isn't suitable for Wikipedia anyway. I had a look at the deleted articles mentioned above and I see Bambi VanBurch was also copied from Van Burch's site, so that also isn't suitable for Wikipedia, regardless of the notability issue raised above. The article Jeromy Preston Carr Sumner appears to be about yourself or a relative. Please note that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and all subjects need to meet our notability guidelines in order to warrant inclusion. We don't include articles on anyone or anything. See also WP:BIO for more information on notability of people. I am going to leave a welcome template on your page which includes links to some pages that might help you.
