Speedy deletion nomination of John Raymond Enright


A tag has been placed on John Raymond Enright 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". 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 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. Dennis Brown (talk) 19:08, 17 November 2011 (UTC)

Deletion
The patroller who tagged the article for deletion made this comment on the talk page: "I hate to tag articles like this, and sure he was a great man, but that isn't what an encyclopedia is for". Likewise, I hate to delete them, but please see WP:MEMORIAL (which ought to take you about 1/3 of the way down the page. There are lots of great men and women who don't achieve notability (our standards for inclusion, be they right or wrong), but who impact on many lives. Please accept our sympathy, and please understand our reasons for what we've done here. Peridon (talk) 19:38, 17 November 2011 (UTC)
 * I was the patroller who tagged the article, and yes, I hate to tag articles this way, but it is the policy. I'm confident that he was quite notable to his family and those in the city he served in, and please understand when we say "notable" we are referring to a somewhat more strict guideline, found here.  Sounds like he was a great guy.  Dennis Brown (talk) 19:43, 17 November 2011 (UTC)
