Speedy deletion of Dr Philip Dobson
A tag has been placed on Dr Philip Dobson 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 about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.) or web content, 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), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, 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, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Dekisugi (talk) 12:39, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Dr Philip Dobson
I have nominated Dr Philip Dobson, an article you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Articles for deletion/Dr Philip Dobson. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Please do not remove Articles for deletion notices from articles or remove other people's comments in Articles for deletion pages. Doing so won't stop the discussion from taking place. You are, however, welcome to comment about the proposed deletion on the appropriate page. Dekisugi (talk) 13:13, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

Firstly I'm sorry I mistook your initial article for a userpage, and didn't give you any advice about article creation immediately. From what you've put on the page so far, it doesn't look like it meets the notability guidelines, hence me nominating it for deletion. I notice you've also added an Underconstruction template, so while you're working on it I suggest you have a look at the notability page and try to make sure that you include some reliable secondary source material, and make it read less like a CV. But you should probably also take a look at the guidelines on conflicts of interest, since your username suggests you may be the subject of the article. Eve Hall (talk) 13:34, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

Thanks - I am working on it!
