Speedy deletion of Brain Patten edit

 

A tag has been placed on Brain Patten 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 about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.) or web content, 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 {{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. shirulashem (talk) 01:55, 21 December 2008 (UTC)Reply

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask me on my talk page. Again, welcome! Kudpung (talk) 10:04, 24 November 2010 (UTC)Reply


Hi again. I have left a reply for you on my talk page, but I'll just add here, that among the best sources that would assert notability would be reviews in the press of the poet's own books of his poems that he has published, along with the year of publication, the ISBN number, and the name of the publisher.--Kudpung (talk) 11:52, 24 November 2010 (UTC)Reply

Proposed deletion of Roger Stevens (poet) edit

 

The article Roger Stevens (poet) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Current sources are dead links. No new reliable sources found when performing a WP:BEFORE.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages 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 page 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.
