Please take a bit more care with your editing. Please do not add {{stub}} to an article which already has a specific stub template, as this one did. Please do not add more than one "Speedy deletion" tag. Please look at an article after you have edited it, and, if it looks broken, fix it. This is the state you left it in, clearly a bit of a mess. If all else fails, just revert your own edits and move on, if that's the only way to leave the article in an unbroken state. Thanks. PamD 22:47, 1 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Martin Williams (diplomat)

The article Martin Williams (diplomat) has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this newly created biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the 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. -- Patchy1 00:52, 8 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of Suzanne Lanza

Hello, 900mill. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, Suzanne Lanza, for deletion because it's a biography of a living person that lacks references. If you don't want Suzanne Lanza to be deleted, please add a reference to the article.

If you don't understand this message, you can leave a note on my talk page.

Thanks, FallingGravity (talk) 02:57, 4 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the heads up. I am confused because I cited the Internet Movie Database (IMDB) as a source. Does the article need an additional reference? I created this page because I noticed other Wikipedia articles linked to this actress who did not have a Wikipedia page. I defer to the community on the nobility of this actress. 900mill (talk) 03:09, 4 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

IMDb is not a reliable source because it is user-contributed, although it's normally fine as an External link (see WP:IMDB). FallingGravity (talk) 03:18, 4 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Appreciate the clarification. 900mill (talk) 03:21, 4 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Alright, I found a reliable reference using the Wayback Machine, so the article should be okay for now. FallingGravity (talk) 03:19, 5 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! Enjoy the weekend! 900mill (talk) 17:07, 5 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

David John Francis Malet Vaughan

Hello, and thanks for creating this article. I'm not sure if you're aware that it's been tagging as needing improved reliable sources and of doubtful notability. I think the main thing it needs is to establish what his role as a politician is, and how he meets WP:POLITICIAN. If you can help improve it, please do. Best wishes, Boleyn (talk) 19:22, 16 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the heads up. I added the reference "Mosley, Charles, editor. Burke's Peerage, Baronetage & Knightage, 107th edition, 3 volumes. Wilmington, Delaware, U.S.A.: Burke's Peerage (Genealogical Books) Ltd, 2003." which I believe qualifies as a reliable source. As the creator of the page, I do not feel it is appropriate for me to remove the nobility tag. If you do not mind, please take a look and remove the tags if appropriate. Thanks. 900mill (talk) 19:51, 16 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

While at the time the article was written it did meet the nobility guidelines, as a result of the corporate merger I agree with the assessment the pages should be merged. 900mill (talk) 14:24, 19 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed deletion of David John Francis Malet Vaughan

The article David John Francis Malet Vaughan has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

A search for references failed to find significant coverage in reliable sources to comply with notability requirements. This included web searches for news coverage, books, and journals, which can be seen from the following links:
David John Francis Malet Vaughan – news, books, scholar
Consequently, this article is about a non-notable minor member of the peerage that appears to lack sufficient notability. Specifically, simply having an entry in Burke's doesn't make them notable.

While all constructive 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. — Scott • talk 14:50, 30 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]
