Speedy deletion of Barry halper

A tag has been placed on Barry halper 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 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 assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, 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 would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

References

Please avoid using multiple copies of the same reference within an article, as you did on Pimm's, as this clutters the reference list. Better is to create one reference on a given page and cite it as many times as is necessary. To do this, use the name attribute of the ref tag. The first time you cite a reference, define it as

<ref name="refname">Reference content</ref>

and then, when you want to cite the same reference later in the same article, just use

<ref name="refname"/>

where refname is a name of your choice. Good luck.
