Speedy deletion nomination of Meriwether Lewis Anderson


A tag has been placed on Meriwether Lewis Anderson, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to have no meaningful content or history, and the text is unsalvageably incoherent. If the page you created was a test, please use the sandbox for any other experiments you would like to do.

If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Ren99 (talk) 10:33, 2 July 2012 (UTC)

File source problem with File:Bijie Martin Passport Photo.jpeg
Thank you for uploading File:Bijie Martin Passport Photo.jpeg. I noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. If you did not create this file yourself, you will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the page from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of the website's terms of use of its content. If the original copyright holder is a party unaffiliated with the website, that author should also be credited. Please add this information by editing the image description page.

If the necessary information is not added within the next days, the image will be deleted. If the file is already gone, you can still make a request for undeletion and ask for a chance to fix the problem.

Please refer to the image use policy to learn what images you can or cannot upload on Wikipedia. Please also check any other files you have uploaded to make sure they are correctly tagged. Here is a [ list of your uploads]. If you have any questions or are in need of assistance please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Disambiguation link notification for July 19
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited James Innes Thornton, you added links pointing to the disambiguation pages Huntsville, Thornhill and William Nichols (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Another home for articles removed from Wikipedia
Wikipedia isn't the only place to post an article. You might want to visit citizendium at https://en.citizendium.org/ or https://history.fandom.com/ Both use software similar to Wikipedia's. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 15:27, 13 September 2023 (UTC)


 * I will politely point out that the focus of the discussion is on the merit of the article being within Wikipedia and while recommended alternative platforms are appreciated the purpose of these discussion panels is no to promote alternative platforms. Wikipedia is intended to be the largest digital encyclopedia available and one formed through community based contribution. Those contributions are supposed to include editing. An article on any subject should first be assessed for editing and the community works to refine articles to meet guidelines. Poundisford (talk) 17:42, 13 September 2023 (UTC)
