User talk:Wanetaylor



A tag has been placed on an article you wrote 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 that subject 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 think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding  at the top of the article, immediately below the speedy deletion  tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate), and providing your reasons for contesting on the article's talk page, 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.

You may want to read the guidelines for specific types of articles: biographies, websites, bands, or companies. -- RHaworth 17:15, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

The above message was perhaps inappropriate. The real complaint is that in creating David Anthony Taylor all you could do was a crude copy-and-paste from http://www.leicester.gov.uk/about-leicester/lordmayorcivic/roll-of-mayors/1926-2000-roll-of-lord-mayors/1980---1989-lord-mayors/1989-councillor-david-anthony-taylor-. Now at Wikipedia we really do not like such idleness - I view it as insult to the project.

Your article was also deleted because you did not have the sense to realise that on Wikipedia we like to have a person's importance stated. OK, if he was Lord Mayor of Leicester, say so in the first paragraph. By all means try again using your own words. I am prepared to overlook the vanity aspect - was he your father? -- RHaworth 10:44, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
