Speedy deletion of Johann, Count of Cleves
A tag has been placed on Johann, Count of Cleves 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 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 see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

 * Hey, I've had to tag this lot for deletion I'm afraid; simply being a member of the nobility isn't enough for notability, in most cases. Ironholds (talk) 10:49, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
 * How about merging them into the Counts of Cleves into Duchy of Cleves? Valerian456  Hush,  Rush 10:52, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Since Cleves was an independent state within the Holy Roman Empire I've declined those speedies - those guys were heads of state and therefore notable.  Ϣere Spiel  Chequers  12:51, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

Adoption
I can offer you help with the basics of wikipedia and can get you to a good standard. Gaia Octavia Agrippa Talk | Sign 12:22, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Er...okay. Valerian456  Hush,  Rush 12:22, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
 * You don't sound so sure? Gaia Octavia Agrippa Talk | Sign 12:23, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Okay. Valerian456  Hush,  Rush 12:25, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Absolutely sure? Because if you are I would like you to tell me what you want to get from this adoption. Gaia Octavia Agrippa Talk | Sign 12:31, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes. Valerian456  Hush,  Rush 12:31, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Do have any questions about the adoption or wikipedia? Gaia Octavia Agrippa Talk | Sign 12:32, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
 * No. Valerian456  Hush,  Rush 12:33, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Alright then I will make a program page for you and will give you 1 task, and sometimes 2, a week. It will be on the talk page of your program page on which you can ask any questions and we will talk further about your adoption. Gaia Octavia Agrippa Talk | Sign 12:35, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Okay. Valerian456  Hush,  Rush 12:35, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Here is the link to your program page. Gaia Octavia Agrippa Talk | Sign 12:40, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Check it out as soon as you can. I have given you your first task and you have a week to complete it. Gaia Octavia Agrippa Talk | Sign 12:43, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

Conduct
After you removed my speedy tag, I decided to watch the progress of Lego Jim. Your comments have come across as almost rude to me - I would advise that you read WP:NPA, WP:CIVL and WP:BITE. Other than that, keep it up - every user that contributes to the encyclopedia is valued. &mdash; Ledgend  Gamer  09:40, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
 * OK. Valerian456  Hush,  Rush 09:42, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
 * After a quick look at your contributions, it struck me that you might be interested in Friendly. The catch is that it's only confirmed to work on Firefox, Safari and Opera, and I'm reasonably sure it's limited to the monobook skin. &mdash; Ledgend  Gamer  09:47, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
 * No. I don't feel comfortable using Firefox. Valerian456  Hush,  Rush 09:49, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Rudolf, Count of Rhaetia
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Rudolf, Count of Rhaetia, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Historical figure notable for one event. Sufficient coverage provided at Bernard (son of Charles the Fat).

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

 * Also ... if someone blanks a page when they're the only editor of any significant content on the page, please don't restore the page; we take blanking to be a sign that they're fine with having the page deleted. - Dan Dank55 (push to talk) 19:53, 14 April 2009 (UTC)
