Speedy deletion nomination of Col. Raj Singh[edit]
A tag has been placed on Col. Raj Singh, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia for multiple reasons. Please see the page to see the reasons. If the page has since been deleted, you can ask me the reasons by leaving a message on my user talk page.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, 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. 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. roh. (talk) 17:19, 24 June 2011 (UTC)
- Sorry to see you are having difficulties creating these biographic articles. I have copied this deleted article to User:Pkandhal/Raj Singh where you are free to continue improving it by adding references. If you wish this to be re-created as an article, I suggest you raise a request for review at WP:RFF. Feel free to drop me a note if you are difficulties and would like help interpreting the guidelines. Cheers Fæ (talk) 12:04, 25 June 2011 (UTC)
The article Thakur Dal Singh has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- no evidence of notability
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. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. — RHaworth (talk · contribs) 17:34, 24 June 2011 (UTC)

This page has the possibility of being a good article but for that to happen it needs to be split into sections and also it is in need of more refs. It may also benefit with a 'See Also' section showing related pages otherwise I think that it is unlikely your page will get deleted as there are lots of keeps. Keep up the good work. Good luck, Wilbysuffolk Talk to me 20:38, 25 June 2011 (UTC).
- Sorry to see this page has been deleted. I have userfied a version for you at User:Pkandhal/Sandbox should you wish to continue improving it and refining the citations. Fæ (talk) 06:40, 2 July 2011 (UTC)
July 2011[edit]
Please refrain from introducing inappropriate pages to Wikipedia, as doing so is not in accordance with our policies. For more information about creating articles, you may want to read Wikipedia:Your first article; you might also consider using the Article Wizard. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. roh. (talk) 15:57, 2 July 2011 (UTC)
How to add footnotes[edit]
Footnotes can be added inline to the body of your text using <ref> tags. An example looks like:
JavaScript is used on webpages today.<ref>Smith, John (2005), ''JavaScript 101'', ISBN 938223445333</ref>
And the resultant text would look like: JavaScript is used on webpages today.1
With the superscript 1 being a link to a footnote at the bottom of the page automatically created by inserting the code: {{reflist}}
An easy to follow standard guide is at Referencing for beginners with citation templates, an online video demonstration can be played at Footnotes demo.ogv and a primer for general editing is at How to edit a page. Thanks, Fæ (talk) 06:39, 3 July 2011 (UTC)
Guidance on notability[edit]
Hi Pkandhal,
Wikipedia has its own guidance for notability that may not be the same as your intuitive sense of what is notable. Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia of general knowledge rather than an index of profiles of companies and people. Each article needs several independent reliable sources to show significant impact on the historical record. The guidance for organizations is given at WP:ORG and for biographies WP:BIO applies.
If the articles you are creating have reliable sources to support the criteria defined in that guidance then you may have a reason to keep the articles from being deleted which you are welcome to raise on the article talk page or on any linked deletion discussion. If you are associated with the organization, person or product the article is about then you must follow the conflict of interest guidelines and avoid editing the article yourself but you are free to suggest and discuss changes.
Rather than starting "live" articles, you can create a draft first which allows you to get your article properly sourced before risking speedy deletion - see Userspace draft and Userfication.
If you would like some independent help you can ask one of the noticeboards at WP:Requests or try chatting with other Wikipedians on #wikipedia-en-help connect.
Thanks, Fæ (talk) 06:39, 3 July 2011 (UTC)
Help[edit]
I have added the above two sections in response to your request for more guidance material. A key criticism of the references is that referring to an entire Archive is too vague to be a credible reference. Please break this down to mention a particular record or document within the Archive and identifying data about it such as date, title and author. Thanks Fæ (talk) 06:39, 3 July 2011 (UTC)
A cup of coffee for you![edit]

The page you created was in the wrong namespace. It has been moved to Prithvi Singh Kandhal. Tassedethe (talk) 22:17, 9 August 2013 (UTC)
Repost of Thakur Dal Singh[edit]
A tag has been placed on Thakur Dal Singh requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia, because it appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion process. If you can indicate how it is different from the previously posted material, contest the deletion by clicking on the button that looks like this: 
which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's discussion directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. Administrators will consider your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. If you believe the original discussion was unjustified, please contact the administrator who deleted the page or use deletion review instead of recreating the page. Thank you.
