Speedy deletion nomination of BurnBabyBurnPoem

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 BurnBabyBurnPoem requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article appears to be about something invented/coined/discovered by the article's creator or someone they know personally, and 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.

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 "Contest this speedy deletion".

hello

HI, I made some edits to the Burn Baby Burn (poem) page. A lot of the material could not be kept as all material on Wikipedia has to have sources. Could you find some sources (see WP:RS) to expand the article? I am fairly sure that we cannot have the whole poem in the article, s that would be coyright infringement to publish the whole thing wihtout permission. But there could be an excerpt: we just need a book or newspapre or magaizine where it is mentioned. If you can find those, let me knwo and I'l help you add them!HappyValleyEditor (talk) 05:29, 22 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! I added some references. You are RIGHT. This is a very notable poem that deserves a page. Can you work on finding some books where people have written about it? I can help you convert the book into a reference. On Wikipedia everything you say has to have a reference. You can't have "original research" of the kind you had initially in the article. Congrats on the article.HappyValleyEditor (talk) 05:48, 22 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]
