Speedy deletion nomination of Brian deas


A tag has been placed on Brian deas 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, 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; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, 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. SpeakFree (talk) 23:54, 6 April 2011 (UTC)

Removing Speedy at Brian deas
Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from Brian deas, a page you have created yourself. If you do not believe the page should be deleted, you can place a tag on the page, under the existing speedy deletion tag (please do not remove the speedy deletion tag), and make your case on the page's talk page. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you. - SDPatrolBot (talk) 00:11, 7 April 2011 (UTC)

Please do not remove speedy deletion notices from pages you have created yourself, as you did with Brian deas. Please use the template on the page instead if you disagree with the deletion, and make your case on the page's talk page. Thank you. - SDPatrolBot (talk) 00:18, 7 April 2011 (UTC)

Brian Deas
I have "moved" this article - changed its title - put a capital D on the surname. I have also declined the speedy deletion nomination, as the article makes a claim of importance. However, if it is to be kept it must have references to confirm what it says - Wikipedia's WP:Verifiability policy requires that "All quotations and any material challenged or likely to be challenged must be attributed to a reliable, published source." In particular, biographies of living persons are deleted after 10 days if not referenced.

If the article is to be kept in the longer term, you need to establish notability, which requires showing "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." See also WP:ATHLETE, and general advice about writing articles at WP:Your first article. JohnCD (talk) 12:01, 7 April 2011 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Brian Deas


The article Brian Deas has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted after seven days unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the prod blp/dated tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can when you are ready to add one. Loksmythe (talk) 18:01, 9 April 2020 (UTC)
