Speedy deletion nomination of Richard Jean-Pierre Etienne


A tag has been placed on Richard Jean-Pierre Etienne 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.

Matthew Alexander
Hi Retienne,

I see that you started Matthew Alexander (football executive). In general, it's well sourced and reasonably complete. I did think that didn't quite match the Wikipedia style, so I edited it to improve what seemed to me to be a generally promotional tone. Another change which I made was to refer to him by his surname, because that matches the less informal style that we use here, except for the sentence referring to his father, where I used the first name to distinguish the two Alexanders. Let me know what you think! --Slashme (talk) 09:36, 3 February 2017 (UTC)
