Notability of Mary Ellen Henderson
Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Mary Ellen Henderson, by another Wikipedia user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Mary Ellen Henderson seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Mary Ellen Henderson, please affix the template to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that '''this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

As reviewing administrator, I think the article showed some notability at least as an activist, so I declined to speedy-delete it. But here's an even more serious problem--it shows every sign of being copied from a memorial tribute of some sort, probably in some publication or on some web site. This is not acceptable here, and unless you get full permission according to WP:COPYRIGHT, the material must be rewritten. Furthermore, it needs 3rd party independent reliable published sources, print or online (but not blogs or press releases)--in other words, you must use a published source as a reference, but you may not copy it. For advice on writing an acceptable article here, see  our guide to writing Wikipedia articles. I'd advise you to add this very quickly, before it gets nominated for regular deletion. And it can and will be immediately removed if copied, as soon as the source is identified. DGG (talk) 01:50, 2 August 2008 (UTC)
