Helpme

I'd like some help in setting up Wikipedia references for several South African anti-apartheid activists who were killed in the 1980s.

Thanks. bp

Proposed deletion of Anton Fransch

The article Anton Fransch has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Fails WP:BLP1E.

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 {{dated prod}} 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 {{dated prod}} will stop the Proposed Deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. The Speedy Deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and Articles for Deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Joe Chill (talk) 00:41, 24 November 2009 (UTC)

Please don't get discouraged

I hope that you won't get discouraged by the deletion nomination of the Anton Fransch article, and that you will continue to create articles about notable anti-apartheid activists. Just make sure that you include a couple of sources before you save the articles, because we do have some rather trigger-happy editors monitoring new pages who don't always allow much time before nominating articles for deletion, which then distracts from the main task of building this encyclopedia. Don't worry too much about formatting references. For on-line sources just provide the url, for books provide author, year, title, publisher and page, and for newspaper articles provide publication name, headline and date. Someone else will come along and format them if necessary. If you want any particular help then please ask me here. Phil Bridger (talk) 19:44, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Coline Williams

Thank you for experimenting with Wikipedia. Your test worked, and the page that you created has been or soon will be deleted. Please use the sandbox for any other tests you want to do. Take a look at the welcome page if you would like to learn more about contributing to our encyclopedia. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you. HalfShadow 04:04, 29 November 2009 (UTC)
