Speedy deletion of Lady Ann Hoo

A tag has been placed on Lady Ann Hoo 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 notable: 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, 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 {{hangon}} 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 article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Toddst1 (talk) 22:09, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

Friendly advice from a fellow history-geek

It's cool that you're fleshing out Wikipedia's coverage of the Hoos. Not everyone knows who they are, though, and we get a lot of high school students creating nonsense articles, so when you create a new article, it's important to include a few reliable sources so the volunteers who check all new articles can tell that it's someone of historical importance. Let me know if you need any help! -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 22:12, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

I can see you're having a rough time; the first article on Wikipedia can be a little traumatizing. I still have nightmares about mine... :) Let me know if you need any help/advice getting going. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 22:19, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Blickening, Norfolk

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Blickening, Norfolk, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

The correct name for the village is Blickling, which exists as an article.

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 {{dated prod}} 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.
