Speedy deletion nomination of John Lowry - Quantity Surveyor


A tag has been placed on John Lowry - Quantity Surveyor 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," which appears inside of the speedy deletion tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). 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. Mtking (talk) 08:21, 10 May 2011 (UTC)

Advice
I have moved the article into your user space at User:Powwertool/John Lowry (quantity surveyor) (with lower-case Q and S because that is our standard for article titles).

Read WP:Your first article for general advice. It is not obvious to me that your subject is notable enough for an article: WIkipedia is not a listing directory, and is selective about subjects. The criterion is called WP:Notability, and is not a matter of opinion but has to be demonstrated by showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." The tets is, have people indepndent of the subject found it important enough to write significant comment about? More detail at WP:Notability (people).

When you have a draft ready, approach user, the administrator who deleted the first one.
