Speedy deletion nomination of Hugh Sweeny

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Hugh Sweeny, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which articles can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly-defined criteria, then it may be soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:

It is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. (See section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Wikipedia has standards for the minimum necessary information to be included in short articles; you can see these at Wikipedia:Stub. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.
It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, 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. (See section A7 of 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. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. Mediran ^talk 01:45, 15 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Neutrality

Please remember we have to use words which are neutral and not present a point of view. Thanks for working on a Queensland geographic article. There are lots of places and not so many people working on those articles. - Shiftchange (talk) 04:30, 6 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy deletion nomination of Wild Horse Mountain

Hello Cottonland,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Wild Horse Mountain for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Thanks,

Cotton Tree Backpackers!

Hi, Cottonland! I was curious about your edit in relation to the Cotton Tree backpackers. I went looking for some kind of citation about the heritage application but what I found was this: which suggests it was refused heritage listing few years. Has there been another attempt to list it again? Thanks Kerry (talk) 04:38, 20 December 2013 (UTC)[reply]
