Proposed deletion of Richard Kindleberger

The article Richard Kindleberger has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Notability not established, unsourced BLP

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 {{dated prod}} 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 {{dated prod}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist.

Speedy deletion nomination of Lindsay Thomas (actress)

A tag has been placed on Lindsay Thomas (actress) 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 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, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

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 page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Thank you.

The article Garland English has been speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This was done because the article, which appeared to be about a real person, individual animal, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, did not indicate how or why the subject is notable, that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the notability of the subject may be deleted at any time. If you can indicate why the subject is really notable, you are free to re-create the article, making sure to cite any verifiable sources.

Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and for specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for musicians, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. NawlinWiki (talk) 20:53, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

Jane Sherman

Hello Spenpiano,
The bold sentence seem to have the ending missing.

"In 2003, Jane began publishing poems, gathering them into little books, some of which commented on aging. In a poem from her self-published book “Songs of Senescence.” " ????

General comments + Linda Grover Article

Hello again Spenpiano,
You are certainly enthusiastic with your production of biographies of recently deceased persons! You may not be aware of wp:NOTABLE and wp:BLP (Biographies of Living People) requirements, which also apply to the deceased, as some of your articles have already been deleted or are marked for deletion. You may be better off concentrating on lesser numbers of, but more notable biography articles. It's a shame to spend time on an article that may never have a chance as the person is not notable enough. Just a suggestion.

Sources

Your contributions are far better than many, but you may not know that there are many tens of thousands of biographies on Wikipedia that are not properly referenced, and there has been a lot of debate and argument over them, which is why new non-notable, or unsourced WP:BLPs are deleted quickly.
It would also be important to have more sources than just obituaries. Sources have to be wp:Reliable, and wp:Verifiable so, for example blogs, and similar, are not good sources.
In line citations, where the references are linked to the text they are sources for are also important.

Linda Grover

I also suggest being a little more careful with your linking, as you seem to be overlinking. In this article you had, Nashua and New Hampshire as seperate links.
It appears better to link them as one link like this [[Nashua, New Hampshire]] which gives this result Nashua, New Hampshire. Nashua on it's own goes to a dis-ambiguation page, which is not ideal if we specifically mean Nashua, New Hampshire. If linked as I have shown, the reader can be taken straight there.

I am just trying to help here, so you can ignore my suggestions, but your work might be wasted! Happy editing! :) --220.101.28.25 (talk) 23:43, 20 March 2010 (UTC)

AfD nomination of Robson Rocha Costa

An editor has nominated one or more articles which you have created or worked on, for deletion. The nominated article is Robson Rocha Costa. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also Wikipedia:Notability and "What Wikipedia is not").

Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion(s) by adding your comments to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Robson Rocha Costa. Please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).

You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate.

Please note: This is an automatic notification by a bot. I have nothing to do with this article or the deletion nomination, and can't do anything about it. --Erwin85Bot (talk) 01:04, 5 April 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Arthur Menzies

A tag has been placed on Arthur Menzies requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be a clear copyright infringement. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words.

If the external website belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

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 page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Stuart Robbins

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Stuart Robbins, and it appears to include a substantial copy of http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/low/other_sports/basketball/8617675.stm. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material; such additions will be deleted. You may use external websites as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. See our copyright policy for further details. (If you own the copyright to the previously published content and wish to donate it, see Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials for the procedure.)

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 11:19, 14 April 2010 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Lina Marulanda

You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles. See the Article Wizard.

Thank you.

A tag has been placed on Lina Marulanda requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, 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. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's 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 confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. UtherSRG (talk) 21:07, 22 April 2010 (UTC)

--Spenpiano (talk) 16:19, 24 April 2010 (UTC) Dear editors, thank you for these messages. I know its hard for me to edit things. But the more I practice, the more I will get better. I'm still a rookie. Hope you'll send me a lot more messages.

Unreferenced BLPs

Hello Spenpiano! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot notifying you on behalf of the the unreferenced biographies team that 1 of the articles that you created is currently tagged as an Unreferenced Biography of a Living Person. The biographies of living persons policy requires that all personal or potentially controversial information be sourced. In addition, to ensure verifiability, all biographies should be based on reliable sources.

Here is the article:

1. Adriana Arboleda - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL

For help on inserting references, see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners or ask at Wikipedia:Help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. Epbr123 (talk) 20:22, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
