Speedy deletion nomination of Peter Edwards (artist)

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 Peter Edwards (artist) 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.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion, or "db", tag; if no such tag exists, then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hang-on tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, 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. Mhiji 21:50, 4 January 2011 (UTC)

Peter Edwards (artist)

Hi, can you take a quick look at this article again please? You stated that he had a one-man exhibition and tour in the Gallery in April 1990 "Contemporary Poets", which consisted of 17 large canvasses of 20 Britsh Isles poets. I've cannot find a reference for "British Isles" poets, and one of the poets was born in South Africa. I've tried to edit the article, but my edits are being reverted. Seeing as how you wrote the original piece, it's probably quicker if you have a chance to give your opinion. Thank you! --HighKing (talk) 19:22, 13 April 2011 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for your comment. Each of the poets was painted in the British Isles, and all of them, including Carlin, lives or lived, all or most of their lives in the British Isles. However when I get a chance I will list all the poets (http://www.peteredwards.net/contemporarypoets.htm) painted (and where) with links and references. Also a comprehensive list of tour dates and venues.--Hughlay1407 22:08, 22 April 2011 (UTC)

Hi, I've reverted your latest changes to the article, for now, no insult intended. Can we discuss what it is you're trying to say first (either here or on the article Talk page). Where exactly does the phrase "British Isles" get referenced? I haven't seen anything that references "British Isles". Could it be that Also, I posted a list of all the artists earlier, but it was reverted in the article. Here's that list again:

The 20 poets included in the series are:

• John Heath-Stubbs
• Seamus Heaney
• The Liverpool Poets - Adrian Henri, Roger McGough and Brian Patten
• Charles Causley
• Ivor Cutler
• Douglas Dunn
• Wendy Cope
• Michael Longley
• Sorley MacLean
• Peter Reading
• Kit Wright
• Craig Raine
• Peter Redgrove

• Dannie Abse

All the best. --HighKing (talk) 10:08, 26 April 2011 (UTC)

Discussions about articles are best carried out at the talk page of the article, especailly when there is a discussion there. I am copying this data to that page.  Ronhjones  ^(Talk) 19:50, 26 April 2011 (UTC)

EL spam

As I mentioned in the edit summaries, the links appear to be spam, promoting the work of an individual artist. Articles are not for personal advertising. See WP:EL and WP:SPAMLINK. I have no personal agenda here other than clearing up spam. It appears that you may have a conflict of interest. As you are creator and the main editor for Peter Edwards (artist), I would suggest that you declare your interest on your user page and the Edwards talk page. I understand that you have put a lot of work in, however it is important to stick to the guidelines and respect Wikipedia as an encyclopaedia first and last. Thank you.

Spam links relating to Peter Edwards (artist)

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did to British Gas. Wikipedia is not a collection of links, nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links include (but are not limited to) links to personal web sites, links to web sites with which you are affiliated, and links that attract visitors to a web site or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. --Hobbes Goodyear (talk) 16:47, 17 June 2012 (UTC)
