Speedy deletion nomination of Emily MacKenzie


A tag has been placed on Emily MacKenzie 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.

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; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), 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. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 14:23, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Emily MacKenzie


A tag has been placed on Emily MacKenzie, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page appears to have no meaningful content or history, and the text is unsalvageably incoherent.

List of historians
Do not add Emily MacKenzie on that article until the article for her is resolved. CanadianLinuxUser (talk) 15:32, 21 January 2011 (UTC)

Wikipedia is not Myspace
Wikipedia is a serious project to build an encyclopedia. It is not for jokey articles about your friends. We take very seriously our policy on WP:Biographies of living persons which includes: "Contentious material about living persons that is unsourced or poorly sourced—whether the material is negative, positive, neutral, or just questionable—should be removed immediately and without waiting for discussion" If you are interested in making a serious contribution, start by reading the links from the Welcome paragraph above, particularly WP:Your first article.
