Notability of Elizabeth Francis
A tag has been placed on Elizabeth Francis requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, 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 indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the article (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. Wuhwuzdat (talk) 14:29, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

E.F.
Please don't keep recreating this article unless you have significant reliable sources (eg national newspaper articles) to showing that the subject is notable enough to warrant inclusion in an encyclopedia. Thanks. yandman 14:48, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

I am at a loss as to why Elizabeth Francis page is being deleted and Derek Acorah and Michele Knight have been accepted. All have appeared on TV, all have their psychic lines and all have works published. Is it that the person editing the new page hasn't heard of Elizabeth Francis? BBC Steve Nolan, Joan Charles from evolved state and the world federation of healing can all confirm what is on the page. Snim

Hi Snim, can we keep the discussion here? I've moved your comment from the deleted talk page. Basically, unless E.F. has had significant media coverage (a BBC subject about her as opposed to a general programme in which she briefly is mentioned, a newspaper article, a book that has been reviewed by mainstream journalists etc..), we can't have an article about her here. Acorah appeared regularly on the television show Most Haunted, and there are articles from the Mirror and Metro mentioning him. Knight was resident psychic on the X-Factor, and has made numerous TV and radio appearances including 'I’m A Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here'. yandman 15:11, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
