Notability of John Bishop Putnam,
[edit]A tag has been placed on John Bishop Putnam, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.
If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}}
to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's 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 confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.
For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. — ERcheck (talk) 22:54, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of James Harper,, and it appears to be very similar to another wikipedia page: James Harper (publisher). It is possible that you have accidentally duplicated contents, or made an error while creating the page— you might want to look at the pages and see if that is the case.
This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page. CorenSearchBot (talk) 04:46, 3 January 2009 (UTC)
Hi
[edit]I realize you are trying to help build this encyclopedia, but you have made two articles about the same person, one at John Bishop Putnam, and one with a comma at the added John Bishop Putnam,. We only need one, as I am sure you understand. I am going to delete the one with the comma, first moving the prose and picture to the one without the comma. Please don't recreate the one with the comma. By the way the picture you uploaded to the commons is going to be deleted unless you improve the licensing information. If you need any help with negotiating this, just let me know by leaving a message here. --Slp1 (talk) 02:51, 4 January 2009 (UTC)
