Speedy deletion nomination of Robert Woods Thurlow


A tag has been placed on Robert Woods Thurlow, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
 * It is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. (See section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Wikipedia has standards for the minimum necessary information to be included in short articles; you can see these at Wikipedia:Stub. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.
 * It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, 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. (See section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for 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, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

 * Hello Strangemuse! I have deleted the article you started on Robert Woods Thurlow because it had no content beyond the name. However, from the existing articles that link it, it seems possible the subject is a suitable topic for an article. You can recreate the article if you wish when you are ready to add content. If you want to work on the article for a while before it is ready for other people to review it, it is easier to do so in your sandbox or in the draft space. See Drafts for instructions. If you want to ask questions about how to create an article, feel free to ask me on my talk page (linked from my signature) or the volunteers at the Teahouse are always there to help.
