Speedy deletion nomination of Fred the sulfur crested cockatoo


A tag has been placed on Fred the sulfur crested cockatoo 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 specific animal, 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 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 "Click here to 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, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

 * The speedy deletion has been denied. I tried developing this as an article, but found he is simply not notable enough. The only thing for which he appears to be notable is receiving a letter from Buckingham Palace on the occasion of the celebration of his 100th birthday. Other than that, there's virtually no mention of him in any other media. The article's been turned into a redirect to Sulphur-crested cockatoo. Thanks, --Hammersoft (talk) 14:37, 9 April 2015 (UTC)
