Speedy deletion nomination of Andrew Strom


A tag has been placed on Andrew Strom 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, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, 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. andy (talk) 23:59, 17 August 2011 (UTC)

Andrew Strom
Hello there, and thanks for editing Wikipedia. I'm Steven Zhang, a regular contributor here. I saw this article was nominated for what we call speedy deletion, which basically means we can delete it it without much discussion. The article as I see it needs more references, which are basically things which discuss the subject of the article in detail, stuff like newspapers, academic journals, or books. At present, the article needs more of these. See if you can find more information that you can add to the article, and remember to add references to it. If you need any assistance, feel free to ask me on my talk page. All the best, Steven Zhang  The clock is ticking....  10:45, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Andrew Strom


The article Andrew Strom has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * No reliable sources to indicate notability - blogs, Amazon and self-published material don't count as WP:RS. Googling "Andrew Strom" -wiki -blog -linkedin -facebook -amazon -youtube gives lots of hits but no firm support for notability per WP:GNG

While all 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. andy (talk) 15:06, 18 August 2011 (UTC)

August 2011
Welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute constructively to the encyclopedia, your addition of one or more external links to the page Andrew Strom has been reverted. Your edit here to Andrew Strom was reverted by an automated bot that attempts to remove links which are discouraged per our external links guideline. The external link(s) you added or changed (http://www.sermonindex.net/modules/mydownloads/viewcat.php?cid=520, http://www.sermonindex.net/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=32275&forum=34&9) is/are on my list of links to remove and probably shouldn't be included in Wikipedia. If the external link you inserted or changed was to a blog, forum, free web hosting service, fansite, or similar site (see 'Links to avoid', #11), then please check the information on the external site thoroughly. Note that such sites should probably not be linked to if they contain information that is in violation of the creator's copyright (see Linking to copyrighted works), or they are not written by a recognised, reliable source. Linking to sites that you are involved with is also strongly discouraged (see conflict of interest). If you were trying to insert an external link that does comply with our policies and guidelines, then please accept my creator's apologies and feel free to undo the bot's revert. However, if the link does not comply with our policies and guidelines, but your edit included other, constructive, changes to the article, feel free to make those changes again without re-adding the link. Please read Wikipedia's external links guideline for more information, and consult my list of frequently-reverted sites. For more information about me, see my FAQ page. Thanks! --XLinkBot (talk) 22:50, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
