Last Change
Not every thing is word for word.

The article Frank Iaconno has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done because the article seemed to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it did not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. If you can indicate why the subject is really notable, you are free to re-create the article, making sure to cite any verifiable sources.

Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and for specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for musicians, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.  Leebo  T / C  03:34, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

Roman Catholic Bishop of Worcester
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Roman Catholic Bishop of Worcester, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. 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. Also, please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. 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. If you agree with the deletion of the article, and you are the only person who has made substantial edits to the page, please add  to the top of Roman Catholic Bishop of Worcester.

The reason I have put on the PROD is that the article simply duplicates information in the existing article Roman Catholic Diocese of Worcester, which is too short to need splitting. JohnCD (talk) 16:12, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Michael Seymour (tourist) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it 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 page (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. Blanchardb- Me MyEars MyMouth -timed 19:00, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

Please refrain from introducing inappropriate pages to Wikipedia. Doing so is not in accordance with our policies. For more information about creating articles, you may want to read Your first article. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Hiberniantears (talk) 19:31, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

Please stop. If you continue to introduce inappropriate pages to Wikipedia you will be blocked from editing. Blanchardb- Me MyEars MyMouth -timed 19:35, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

This is the last warning you will receive for your disruptive edits. The next time you create an inappropriate page, you will be blocked from editing. Hiberniantears (talk) 19:36, 22 December 2007 (UTC)

Blocked
As you recreated the above page after the above final warning, I have blocked you for 24 hours to prevent further recreations. If you feel that the deletion of the article is in error, despite repeated deletions, please use deletion review to make your case, using reliable sources and considering the notability of the person involved. If you believe this block is unjustified, you may contest the block by adding the text below. Tony Fox (arf!) 20:34, 22 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Dear SportEditor, (please click on all the blue words and read the policies/guidelines they refer to) if Mr. Seymour is notable enough per Wikipedia's guidelines, then it is a valid request to have an article on him. However, Wikipedia has Core policies, such as neutrality, notability, and verifiability, to name a few. What does all of this mean? Well, it means that any article on Wikipedia must demonstrate notability (meaning it must be note worthy, covered by the media, etc.), and have reliable, third-party sources (such as news media articles, magazine/trade journal articles) written about the subject, and the information given in the article must cite those sources to verify it is true. From those sources, information is summarized, paraphrased, condensed, and worded neutrally to make an encyclopedic entry. If you can list three to four reliable, published news sources that can demonstrate this person's notability, then I'm sure an administrator will take that into account. Thanks, Ariel  ♥  Gold  00:38, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of Chris Whittle (Massachusetts)
A tag has been placed on Chris Whittle (Massachusetts) 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. James Robson (talk) 22:24, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
