Speedy deletion nomination of Martin Tichenor


A tag has been placed on Martin Tichenor requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject of the article is important or significant: that is, why an article about it 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 you can assert the notability of the subject,. Clicking that button will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the |the article's talk page directly to give your reasons, 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. You may freely add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

See the guidelines for specific types of articles: biographies, websites, bands, or companies. JamesBWatson (talk) 13:26, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Harold Allen Tichenor


The article Harold Allen Tichenor has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Not notable. Despite the assertion that he was "a noted genealogist", neither the article nor anything I can find anywhere indicates that he was "noted". The article is efectively unreferenced, the one external link being a garbled page on a non-independent site.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. JamesBWatson (talk) 13:26, 14 April 2011 (UTC)

Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but your recent edit removed content from Women's Eastern Reception, Diagnostic and Correctional Center with this edit. When removing content, please specify a reason in the edit summary and discuss edits that are likely to be controversial on the article's talk page. If this was a mistake, don't worry; the content has been restored, as you can see from the page history. Take a look at the welcome page to learn more about contributing to this encyclopedia, and if you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you.

Hello
It looks like you are blanking articles you created. I am guessing you have become a bit disillusioned with the Wikipedia process, and I totally understand how that can happen. Please understand that nobody owns an article on Wikipedia, even if they created it. Since Wikipedia is a collaboration of many people, policies are in place to prevent any one person from removing that work. For example, I note that the Harold Allen Tichenor has been proposed for deletion - you can remove that tag, and it cannot be restored. When that happens, if an editor still feels the article should be deleted it is submitted to Articles for deletion where you and other editors will have the opportunity to comment and build a consensus. You have made some valuable contributions in the past, and I hope you will continue to do so. Sea photo Talk 20:48, 19 April 2011 (UTC) Seaphoto: I would not call it disillusionment, more like disgust at the capriciousness of some of the so called "editors". I have followed wiki since it's inception in 2001. I remember reading articles in the pc rags about it being free and no one would own it, how every contributor would be valued and respected. I understand the need to have some level of 'control' over the content so that it does not simply fall into the digital equivalent of checkout stand garbage. However, I do not think a graduate mathematician is qualified to assess the worth of contributions in fields that they obviously have little, if any, appreciation for. I find it terribly interesting that an article can contain information, for instance, who the first Playboy Playmate was that did not have public hair, but an article detailing the work of a man to trace the origins of a family back to the dawn of this nation, or detailing the life of one of the original founders of a major American city, has no merit. Having said that, I sincerely respect the decision of this 'editor' and will not bother the 'editorial staff' of Wikipedia with further contributions. I have much more pressing and important uses of my limited time. I appreciate you taking time to explain the inner working of wikipedia and wish you the best.Tichenor (talk) 00:52, 27 April 2011 (UTC)
