A tag has been placed on your user page, User:Bradleybclark, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person, and which is a violation of our policies regarding acceptable use of user pages: user pages are intended for active editors of Wikipedia to communicate with one another as part of the process of creating encyclopedic content, and should not be mistaken for free webhosting resources. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam, the guidelines on user pages, and, especially, our FAQ for businesses.
If you can indicate why the page is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add {{hangon}} on the top of the page in question and leave a note on this page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Calton | Talk 15:12, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

Hello. Your recent edit to Leesville, Texas appears to have added the name of a non-notable entity to a list that normally includes only notable entries. In general, a person, organization or product added to a list should have a pre-existing article before being added to most lists. If you wish to create such an article, please first confirm that the subject qualifies for a separate, stand-alone article according to Wikipedia's notability guideline. Being awarded a Purple Heart does not make the recipient notable Meters (talk) 04:36, 31 October 2020 (UTC)
A named descendant buried in the cemetery who also won a Purple Heart isn’t notable? And yet this is somehow worthy of noting on Wikipedia: “As of 2018, Leesville was rated as having 249 residential structures[38] with a total of 1,253 rooms;[39] 825 of these were rated as owner-occupied, 184 were rated as renter-occupied.[40]”?
Bradleybclark (talk) 04:55, 31 October 2020 (UTC) :Exactly. Simply being awarded a Purple Heart does not make the recipient notable. And neither does having been awarded a single Silver Star, so I've also removed the other listed person. Please read WP:MILPERSON.
- No, the information about the houses is not notable either, but there's a difference Notability of the information is not necessary to list most sourced information in an article, but you are attempting to list notable people who are buried in one of the town's cemeteries. The general rule for such lists of notable people is that they must be individually notable.
- And I have no idea what you mean by "named descendent". Descendent of whom? You? Meters (talk) 05:09, 31 October 2020 (UTC)
No, not me. The Caraways who are a large family there and have been for many generations. It doesn’t matter; no need to reply. Bradleybclark (talk) 21:54, 31 October 2020 (UTC)
- Pointless to say "named descendent" then. Everyone is a named descendent of someone. How is that possibly something that Wikipedia should be concerned about? Meters (talk) 22:06, 31 October 2020 (UTC)
