Disambiguation link notification for November 6

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited José Ducos-Bello, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Crowley (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Speedy deletion nomination of José Ducos-Bello

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on José Ducos-Bello 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 read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, 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 from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, you can place a request here. Drmies (talk) 05:21, 12 November 2013 (UTC)

Jose Rafael Ducos Bello: Click the button in the template that says "Contest this speedy deletion". That will take you to Talk:Jose Rafael Ducos Bello to say why you think it should not be speedy deleted. But basically - you need to find a lot more like that Washgington Post reference, and write it up as a short article focusing on what he did that has been mentioned in the press. For the article to be safe, you will need at least two articles substantially about him (not the scandal). Drmies' suggestion of AfC is a good one, because the reviewers there will critique the draft article for you. ...... Oops, too late, already deleted. AfC would be the best way to go now.

• I read it yesterday, and the new version this morning--well, I tried to, it was very hard to get through. First thing to do in a rewrite is to look at a comparable article, a decent one, and follow the formatting. That long quote, for instance, can never be in an article because a. such long quotes aren't of interest to the general reader and b. it might well be a copyright violation. An article needs a lead (WP:LEAD) that briefly summarizes what the subject is and why they're important--a phrase like "whistleblower who uncovered as much as $300 million in corruption" (from my talk page) isn't the worst one could do. Again, AfC will be helpful, and look at WP:FIRST. Thanks Yngvadottir, Drmies (talk) 17:08, 12 November 2013 (UTC)
• Wait: that newer version is still up, at Jose Rafael Ducos Bello. Drmies (talk) 17:36, 12 November 2013 (UTC)
