Speedy deletion nomination of Johnny Fred Carter


A tag has been placed on Johnny Fred Carter, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages 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 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. red dogsix (talk) 02:53, 19 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Hello TOdom. I am sorry for your loss. The article on Johnny Fred Carter was originally deleted because of a lack of reliable sourcing that was not just mirroring our content; see Articles for deletion/Johnny Fred Carter. If you feel that you can point to reliable references such as books, national newspapers or magazines about your relative then you can request someone to write the article at Requested articles. You could also ask at a relevant Wikiproject, for example the one for Christian music. Because he was your relative you would have a conflict of interest, and would be strongly advised not to create the article yourself. There is more information on this at Conflict of interest. Hope this is helpful! Regards, Espresso Addict (talk) 03:23, 19 November 2016 (UTC)

How to request and article be restored or allowed to be recreated
Hi, you can request that an article be allowed to be recreated or restored at WP:DRV. This would be the correct way do it rather than creating requests as an article. TonyBallioni (talk) 22:51, 20 November 2016 (UTC)
