Speedy deletion of Robert Poole (historian)[edit]

A tag has been placed on Robert Poole (historian) 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, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

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 article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. ←Signed:→Mr. E.

status and advice[edit]

As reviewing administrator, I think it indicates at least some importance, so not a speedy. I fixed it a bit, but the very least it needs to survive is references to published reviews of his books. If they are substantial, he might be notable as an author or under WP:PROF. I'd advise you to add this very quickly, before it gets nominated for regular deletion-- Readers in the UK are not necessarily considered suitable for articles here.
