Biography of Edward Edgar Foden, compiled by his grandson E E Foden Date

22 February 2012

Edward Edgar Foden
Hi User:Nedof. I removed the speedy deletion tag from My Grandfather Edward Edgar Foden invented a type of Cargo Hatch for Ships. as it quite obviously wasn't a test page and moved the article to a more appropriate title. However, your article is still at risk of deletion. I checked the information you posted above and referenced it on the article, but the main problem the article runs up against is meeting Wikipedia's standards for notability for specific individuals. Simply put, Wikipedia doesn't accept biographies of any random person on the internet. While Mr. Foden certainly sounds like a notable person, you need to find sources to verify not just that he exists, but that many different outside sources have written about him. A good starting point could be procuring that biography of Mr. Foden that his grandson wrote and adding references from the book to the article. If you happen to live in Newcastle, find the physical documents that the Newcastle museum holds, check those and add information from that to the article. I'd be glad to assist you in editing this article, so feel free to leave a note on my talk page or comment right here. Altamel (talk) 03:15, 28 April 2014 (UTC) Dear Sir, I am his Grandson. I can confirm that there are many articles held in Newcastle Discovery Museum's archives and people are free to view them if they visit there. They have Newspaper articles which were written at the time he brought his inventions out. They also have the blue prints for his Inventions. They have many letters that confirm his inventions, from Ship yards all over the world and where they show interest etc. Please let me know if you require further information. Many thanks. Edward Edgar Foden.
