Dennis R. Rader
Hello, first off thanks for creating that article, which is a decent enough effort from a new editor. As I explained at Talk:Dennis_R._Rader, I don't believe that article met speedy deletion criteria, and an admin took the same view. Unfortunately, that doesn't mean that the subject of the article is notable enough, or safe from deletion. WP:GNG and WP:ACADEMIC will give you an idea of what you need to do to establish his notability. I've had a look on google but can't find anything, not helped by him sharing a name with serial killer Dennis Rader. I would urge you to have a look around both online and offline to see what you can find. Valenciano (talk) 16:45, 3 April 2013 (UTC)
