Your contributed article, Merseyrail and Northern joint route


Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Merseyrail and Northern joint route. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – City Line (Merseyrail). Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at City Line (Merseyrail) – you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

If you think the article you created should remain separate, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to 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, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. David Biddulph (talk) 12:45, 7 December 2014 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Celia Drummond


A tag has been placed on Celia Drummond 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 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 "Click here to 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.

Proposed deletion of Celia Drummond

Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the prod blp tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced.

Your contributed article, Lynton Village railway station


Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Lynton Village railway station. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Lynton and Lynmouth Cliff Railway. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Lynton and Lynmouth Cliff Railway – you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.

Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions.

I see that a number of your recent articles consist largely of copies of material in existing articles. It is pointless to copy rather than linking to the existing article, and it is also a breach of copyright to copy without giving attribution to the original authors. You have also failed to provide references to reliable sources; you may have thought you were doing so when you copied the existing articles, but by merely copying the rendered version all you copied was the reference numbers (like [1] ) without actually including the reference.

Speedy deletion nomination of St Chad's Road tram stop (Blackpool Tram)
Hello Sootysuerickie,

 * WikiProject Trains - From the project page: "We are a group of editors who aim to streamline and co-ordinate the expansion of train-related articles."
 * WikiProject UK Railways - "The aim of this Wikiproject is to coordinate the huge number of articles relating to railways and rail transport in its different forms within the United Kingdom."
 * WikiProject UK Trams - "Members of this project are collaborating to improve the coverage of articles about (or related to) trams in the United Kingdom."
