Speedy deletion nomination of Harry Welch


Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on Harry Welch requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, images, a rephrasing of the title, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

If you think that your 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, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the page be "userfied" or emailed to you. Northamerica1000(talk) 18:51, 19 February 2013 (UTC)


 * Thanks for adding content to the Harry Welch article. I've removed the speedy deletion tag. Northamerica1000(talk) 19:00, 19 February 2013 (UTC)

Notability
Your article about Harry Welch describes a football coach whose career peaked with one year as head coach at Los Angeles Valley College, a community college with a minor football presence. The rest of his career appears to have been with various high school teams around Southern California. This does not appear to meet the criteria for inclusion for athletes. Since your article cites no sources (and seems to be lacking in some basic details), it is likely to be deleted on either notability grounds, or as an unreferenced biography of a living person. I would suggest you take steps to indicate in the article how this person is notable, with citations to reliable sources, or the article will soon face deletion.

Replaceable fair use File:Portrait photograph of Harry Edward Welch, Jr.jpg
Thanks for uploading File:Portrait photograph of Harry Edward Welch, Jr.jpg. I noticed the description page specifies that this media item is being used under a claim of fair use, but its use in Wikipedia articles fails the first non-free content criterion in that it illustrates a subject for which a freely licensed media item could be found or created that provides substantially the same information or which could be adequately covered with text alone. If you believe this media item is not replaceable, please:


 * 1) Go to the file description page and edit it to add, without deleting the original replaceable fair use template.
 * 2) On the file discussion page, write the reason why this media item is not replaceable at all.

Alternatively, you can also choose to replace this non-free media item by finding freely licensed media of the same subject, requesting that the copyright holder release this (or similar) media under a free license, or by creating new media yourself (for example, by taking your own photograph of the subject).

If you have uploaded other non-free media, consider checking that you have specified how these media fully satisfy our non-free content criteria. You can find a list of description pages you have edited by clicking on [ this link]. Note that even if you follow steps 1 and 2 above, non-free media which could be replaced by freely licensed alternatives will be deleted 2 days after this notification (7 days if uploaded before 13 July 2006), per the non-free content policy. If you have any questions, please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you. NtheP (talk) 19:36, 6 March 2013 (UTC)
