Hello, Brenckle3840J. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, Joseph Martin (composer), for deletion because it's a biography of a living person that lacks references. If you don't want Joseph Martin (composer) 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, AllyD (talk) 18:44, 23 October 2012 (UTC)
The article Joseph martin composer 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. Phileasson (talk) 19:36, 23 October 2012 (UTC)

Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Joseph martin composer. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Joseph Martin (composer). Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Joseph Martin (composer) – you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.
If you think that the article you created should remain separate, 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. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. AllyD (talk) 19:50, 23 October 2012 (UTC)
Hello, Brenckle3840J, and thank you for your contributions!
I wanted to let you know it seems an article you worked on, Joseph Martin (composer), is copied from another Wikipedia page, Joseph martin composer. It's fine to do this as long as you provide the following information in the edit summary:
- a link to the article you copied from
- the date you copied it
You can do this now by editing the page, making any minor edit to the article, and adding the above information into the edit summary.
If you're still not sure how to fix the problem, please leave a message at the help desk. It's possible that I made a mistake, so feel free to remove the tag I placed on the article.
Thanks again for helping build the free encyclopedia! MadmanBot (talk) 17:02, 8 November 2012 (UTC)

The article Joseph Martin (composer) has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- Tone highly promotional; peacock terms. No indication of notability; only cites subject's own website and official bios. Creator's account seems to exist for the single purpose of discussing the subject of this article (see contribs, deletion log of identical article created by same user).
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 {{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. — further, Francophonie&Androphilie sayeth naught (Je vous invite à me parler) 17:52, 8 November 2012 (UTC)
