I have replied to your query on my talk page. Blarneytherinosaur talk 02:22, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on William Reid McEwen requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. RMHED 01:10, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

McEwen,

Sorry Nyttend that you deleted McEwen. He was one of the best known and significant anti-modernists in this country and his editing of Evangelical Action for so long should have told you that. I'm not sufficiently up with wikipedia to know how to go further, but I should have thought he should be reinstated. I could add a bit more if needed.

Rev Ward, Please read the Wikipedia standards for notability. You may have seen what I wrote: "Apparently a good and godly man, but being a minister doesn't make you notable at all". However, what information you provided doesn't attempt to show that he fulfills the notability standards: simply being a denominational magazine editor doesn't make you notable. You have to be the subject of study by multiple reliable independent sources, and the obituary and picture in the other magazine doesn't count for such a source. If you want to have an article on him, create it, but only if you can prove that he's notable according to our standards. Nyttend 21:33, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

I guess one assumed readers knew Evangelical Action was and is not a denominational magazine but a major anti-modernist paper linking conservatives over many denominations.

Disambiguation link notification for January 23
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Presbyterianism, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Reformed Presbyterian Church. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ* Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Hello, I'm Elizium23. I noticed that you made a change to an article, Maronite Catholic Eparchy of Saint Maron of Sydney, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you.
