Speedy deletion nomination of Latinos in the California Gold Rush: Social Repression


Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on Latinos in the California Gold Rush: Social Repression requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, images, a rephrasing of the title, a question that should have been asked at the help or reference desks, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

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, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. rayukk &#124; talk 23:25, 21 November 2015 (UTC)

Recent edits to California Gold Rush Suggestion
While I appreciate the direction and content of your recent edits which help to tell the whole story of the gold rush and its impact on Cali, you've got to include many more reliable, published sources. Academic, peer-reviewed books or journal articles are probably best, especially for this topic. Self-published, on-line sources such as blogs are questionable and not very helpful. If your additions do not have reliable sources they will likely be removed. I hope you're able to spend the time adding reliable sources that substantiate your additions; you're trying to make a very needed addition to this article. I'll try to help out where I can, but I have limited time right now.--KingJeff1970 (talk) 16:05, 8 December 2015 (UTC)
