The article Peter Smagorinsky 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. reddogsix (talk) 04:39, 10 December 2012 (UTC)

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Peter Smagorinsky 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.
If you think that the page was nominated in error, contest the nomination by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion" in the speedy deletion tag. Doing so will take you to the talk page where you can explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but do not hesitate to add information that is consistent with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

[edit]Hello, I'm Jim1138. I noticed that you recently removed some content from Peter Smagorinsky without explaining why.

If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thanks, Jim1138 (talk) 05:18, 10 December 2012 (UTC)

Please do not remove speedy deletion notices from pages you have created yourself, as you did with this edit to Peter Smagorinsky. Please make your case on the page's talk page instead if you disagree with the deletion. Thank you. Jim1138 (talk) 05:30, 10 December 2012 (UTC)
Hello, Adfrier. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, Peter Smagorinsky, for deletion because it's a biography of a living person that lacks references. If you don't want Peter Smagorinsky 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.
