Speedy deletion nomination of Richard W. Newton


A tag has been placed on Richard W. Newton 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 credibly 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 read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "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, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Your two articles
Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a gossip sheet or a place to right great wrongs or pursue local feuds. What your two articles amount to is: You could find stories like that in just about any town. There is nothing there that comes anywhere near Wikipedia's inclusion standard of WP:Notability. If you want to publicise those matters, tell your local newspaper: if they are not interested, Wikipedia certainly isn't. JohnCD (talk) 20:06, 28 April 2016 (UTC)
 * A small-town mayor was accused of irregularity in his expense returns 13 years ago, and paid $100 penalty without admitting wrong-doing;
 * Another citizen who ran unsuccessfully for city council but holds no public office has admitted "impropriety with several females while he was married".
