October 2009 edit
Please do not replace Wikipedia pages with blank content, as you did to Thomas Boberg. Blank pages are harmful to Wikipedia because they have a tendency to confuse readers. If it is a duplicate article, please redirect it to an appropriate existing page. If the page has been vandalized, please revert it to the last legitimate version. If you feel that the content of a page is inappropriate, please edit the page and replace it with appropriate content. If you believe there is no hope for the page, please see the deletion policy for how to proceed. — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 05:24, 19 October 2009 (UTC)
Please do not remove speedy deletion notices from pages you have created yourself, as you did with this edit to Thomas Boberg. Please use the {{hangon}} template on the page instead if you disagree with the deletion, and make your case on the page's talk page. Thank you. — Jeff G. (talk|contribs) 05:26, 19 October 2009 (UTC)
What can I do to get my article to stay? I made some mistakes with the formatting, maybe someone can fix it? I am going to add more info later.

I removed the speedy tag, and did a little formatting. Boberg clearly has some notability, indicated enough to satisfy A7 and it would have a good chance at WP:AfD if nominated for deletion. Keep adding info with references and there will probably be no problem. Welcome,John Z (talk) 07:37, 19 October 2009 (UTC)
