Speedy deletion of Beverley Skeggs
A tag has been placed on Beverley Skeggs 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, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

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), coupled with adding a note on the 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 would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you.  TN ‑  X   - Man  15:40, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Beverley Skeggs
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Beverley Skeggs, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process
 * Non-notable professor, does not meet the relevant standards.

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Beverley Skeggs
Hi Soa04lb -- Thanks for creating Beverley Skeggs. I've contested the proposed deletion of the article as Prof. Skeggs seems clearly notable. Sociology is very far from my area of expertise, however, so if you were able to provide some more context as to the nature and importance of her work that would be extremely helpful. In particular, if you could supply references (books, reviews, newspaper articles etc) written by others that describe her work that would be extremely valuable. Drop me a line on my talk page if you need any help. Thanks, Espresso Addict (talk) 22:18, 18 December 2008 (UTC)
