Speedy deletion nomination of Richmond Adderly
[edit]A tag has been placed on Richmond Adderly 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 - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon 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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

- 1) You couldn't study engineering at Oxford in the 18th C; 2) No railways in South Africa then; 3)Rhodes died in 1902. Not a bad attempt, but there those of us who know some history... Peridon (talk) 21:53, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

[edit]Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but in this recent edit you removed a speedy deletion tag from Adderly Street, 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. PrincessofLlyr royal court 21:58, 17 October 2010 (UTC)

- "The first track for steam-powered locomotives was a line of about 2 miles (3.2 km) linking the Town of Durban with harbour point, opened on the 26th June 1860." By this time, Adderly would have been 108 years old. Come on... Peridon (talk) 10:58, 18 October 2010 (UTC)
