Speedy deletion nomination of Callum Dickinson

Please do not make statements attacking people or groups of people. Wikipedia has a strict policy against personal attacks. Attack pages and images are not tolerated by Wikipedia and are speedily deleted. Users who continue to create or repost such pages and images in violation of our biographies of living persons policy will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. Thank you.

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. — Mr. Stradivarius ^♫ 17:36, 5 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No, you cannot "leave it on here for a month and 4 days so the school can review it." Wikipedia is not a place for jokey articles about your friends, and "anyone can edit" does not mean "anyone can put in whatever they like." Wikipedia is a serious project to build an encyclopedia, it is very careful about what is said about living people, and the important policy on WP:Biographies of living persons includes:

"Contentious material about living persons... that is unsourced or poorly sourced—whether the material is negative, positive, neutral, or just questionable—should be removed immediately and without waiting for discussion."

If you were really asked to do this as part of a school project, please ask your teacher to read this, and the living persons policy, and Wikipedia:School and university projects. JohnCD (talk) 17:55, 5 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
