Hello, I noticed that you recently created a new page, Marcellus Andrew Dawson. First, thank you for your contribution; Wikipedia relies solely on the efforts of volunteers such as you. Unfortunately, the page you created covers a topic on which we already have a page – Marcellus andrew dawson. Because of the duplication, your article has been tagged for speedy deletion. Please note that this is not a comment on you personally and we hope you will continue helping to improve Wikipedia. If the topic of the article you created is one that interests you, then perhaps you would like to help out at Marcellus andrew dawson – you might like to discuss new information at the article's talk page.
If you think the article you created should remain separate, 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. Additionally if you would like to have someone review articles you create before they go live so they are not nominated for deletion shortly after you post them, allow me to suggest the article creation process and using our search feature to find related information we already have in the encyclopedia. Try not to be discouraged. Wikipedia looks forward to your future contributions. Angelo Michael (talk) 03:30, 6 January 2014 (UTC)
Hello, Marcellus Dawson. I wanted to let you know that I’m proposing an article that you started, Marcellus "Handz Down" Dawson, for deletion because it's a biography of a living person that lacks references. If you don't want Marcellus "Handz Down" Dawson to be deleted, please add a reference to the article.
If you don't understand this message, you can leave a note on my talk page.

Speedy deletion nomination of Marcellus "Handz Down" Dawson

Thank you.
A tag has been placed on Marcellus "Handz Down" Dawson, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising that only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an acceptable page. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item G11, as well as the guidelines on spam.
If you can indicate why the subject of this page is not blatant advertising, . Clicking that button will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion, it may be deleted without delay. You are welcome to edit the page to fix this problem, but please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. As well as removing promotional phrasing, it helps to add factual encyclopaedic information to the page, and add citations from independent reliable sources to ensure that the page will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 04:42, 6 January 2014 (UTC)

. However, you should read the guide to appealing blocks first. Jimfbleak - talk to me? 06:53, 6 January 2014 (UTC)I've imposed a short block because you seem intent on creating multiple articles about the same person under different versions of his name. I am watching this page, which you can still edit, if you want to ask me anything. Jimfbleak - talk to me? 06:56, 6 January 2014 (UTC)
