Speedy deletion nomination of Tom Pratt (American football)


A tag has been placed on Tom Pratt (American football) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about a person or group of people, but it does not credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about 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.

Uncle Bob, the above is incorrect, since the significance of this coach is obvious from your content. However, it looks like you copies it all from the team website. We take copyright seriously, so we can't let this article remain on our site. An article on Pratt needs to be written in your own words, and can not be pasted from another website or a book or magazine. Thanks, Oiyarbepsy (talk) 04:17, 16 November 2015 (UTC)

Recent edit to Mark Ronson
Hello. I noticed that you made an edit to a biography of a living person (Mark Ronson), but that you didn't support your changes with a citation to a reliable source. Wikipedia has a strict policy concerning how we write about living people, so please help us keep such articles accurate. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you! Materialscientist (talk) 23:14, 20 November 2015 (UTC)
