Speedy deletion nomination of Madura Perera


A tag has been placed on Madura Perera 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. Mission Fleg (talk) 05:42, 6 January 2011 (UTC)

List of the oldest schools in Australia
If this is a "work in progress", can I suggest that you move it to your userspace and edit it up there (per WP:DRAFT)? As it is, I'm worried that it'll be AfD'ed.  &tilde;danjel [ talk | contribs ] 07:45, 1 October 2011 (UTC)

Hi Danjel, How do I do this

Proposed deletion of The oldest schools in Australia


The article The oldest schools in Australia has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Can see no reason for this list; there were hundreds of schools in Australia prior to 1850; why the cutoff date; why any notability

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
