Speedy deletion nomination of Shrian Samuel


A tag has been placed on Shrian Samuel 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 read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, 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 from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. ♥ Solarra ♥ ♪ 話 ♪  ߷  ♀ 投稿 ♀  09:15, 1 July 2014 (UTC)

Improving the article
Hi, and thanks for the barnstar, you're welcome - I think he's notable, so thank you for writing about him :-)

You left IRC before I could give you some answers to your question about how to fix it. Here's what I said there, too late: "The text does not give specifics about his career. It needs to do that instead of saying he's humble and so on. When did he start racing, what races has he won, name the teams he has raced for - don't just have that stuff in the infobox. Also, you say in the text he has won an award? You need a reference for that." So there's a start. When you are ready, copy this at the top: - and wait for an Articles for Creation reviewer.

A tag has been placed on File:Sivanka Dhanapala.jpeg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F9 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the file appears to be a blatant copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted content borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, 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 from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Proposed deletion of Sivanka Dhanapala


The article Sivanka Dhanapala has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted 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 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. Dan arndt (talk) 09:12, 2 February 2016 (UTC)
