Deletion
Hi, thanks for message. You can sign your comments automatically using four tildes ~. Please add your messages to the bottom of my talk page, or they may be overlooked.

I deleted your article because it was a copyright violation of [http://wc.rootsweb.ancestry.com/cgi-bin/igm.cgi?op=GET&db=lindydawson&id=I991&style=TABLE. this page]. Copyrighted text is not allowed in Wikipedia, as outlined in this policy. That applies even to pages created by you or your organisation, unless they state clearly and explicitly that the text is public domain. In this case, the copied text is clearly labelled © 2014 Ancestry.com. Ancestry's terms and conditions also make it clear that the content is not PD. There are ways to donate copyrighted text to Wikipedia, as described here; please note that simply asserting on the talk page that you are the owner of the copyright, or you have permission to use the text, isn't sufficient.

Not a reason for deletion, but note that the title of a biography should be just the name of a person without a description Jimfbleak - talk to me?  06:56, 26 March 2015 (UTC)
