Speedy deletion nomination of Pierre-Alexis Dumas

Hello Huncamuncafolly,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Pierre-Alexis Dumas for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks, Wakowako (talk) 09:03, 13 December 2012 (UTC)

About Pierre-Alexis Dumas

Hello, Huncamuncafolly, and again welcome to Wikipedia.
Wikipedia has very strict policies about biographies of living people. They must include references from reliable sources. I have added one here.
I would strongly suggest you read the "biographies of living people people" policy and the Wikipedia:Terms of use.
All that said, please do continue "editing" (Wikipedia jargon for making changes to Wikipedia web-pages) within its policies and guidelines. Your contributions are valued. Please let me know if you have any questions about anything at all related to Wikipedia.
Hope this helps. --Shirt58 (talk) 10:24, 13 December 2012 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Pierre-Alexis Dumas

The article Pierre-Alexis Dumas has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Notability is not inherited. Subject's mention in sources is only in passing. Appears to fail WP:GNG.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
