Speedy deletion nomination of Victor roache
[edit]A tag has been placed on Victor roache 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, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}}
to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), 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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

[edit]Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from Victor roache, a page you have created yourself. If you do not believe the page should be deleted, you can place a {{hangon}} tag on the page, under the existing speedy deletion tag (please do not remove the speedy deletion tag), and make your case on the page's talk page. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you. Jarkeld (talk) 22:23, 21 March 2010 (UTC)
New entry
[edit]Hi, and thanks for your interest in adding content to Wikipedia! You'll need to find someone who is notable, who has been covered in books or media in a way that can referenced and whose notability can be documented. Entries on people who don't meet the notability standards are usually deleted. It will be hard to find a person in the U.S., Britain, Australia or Canada who isn't listed that meets those standards, but writers, politicians, scientists and so forth from other countries may not be listed yet, and would be good subjects. Did your teacher tell you about the notability policy when they assigned this? Acroterion (talk) 22:50, 21 March 2010 (UTC)
