Speedy deletion nomination of Rachel Knight
[edit]
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on Rachel Knight requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an article with no content whatsoever, or whose contents consist only of external links, a "See also" section, book references, category tags, template tags, interwiki links, images, a rephrasing of the title, a question that should have been asked at the help or reference desks, or an attempt to contact the subject of the article. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.
If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "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 deleted 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, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Rachel Knight moved to draftspace
[edit]An article you recently created, Rachel Knight, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please follow the prompts on the Articles for Creation template atop the page. ... discospinster talk 01:57, 14 March 2020 (UTC)
Notes
[edit]Hi! I have notes for your draft:
- This draft lacked sourcing to establish where Rachel Knight is notable. Keep in mind that while the film does have her as a main character, this doesn't automatically make her notable per se. What you need are things like sources that specifically discuss her. Part of the issue here is that as she married Newton Knight and is primarily known for her interactions with him, it can be argued that she should/could be covered within Knight's article. This is a common thing for spouses on Wikipedia.
- What you will need to find are things like newspaper articles and books that cover or heavily mention her. You will need to be extra careful to check the reliability of sourcing, as things like Find a Grave and Ancestry.com type websites won't be seen as reliable sources, as anyone can contribute to these sites. With Ancestry and genealogy, be careful since there are some peripheral sites that may look usable but also have issues with being self-published.
- Be careful of terminology - Wikipedia doesn't use euphemisms like passed away as it's imprecise. This is something that I learned myself via someone telling me this, so no worries if you didn't previously know this.
Offhand I'm very concerned that there isn't any coverage for Rachel Knight out there - what I did see tended to mention her in relation to her husband or be in places that Wikipedia wouldn't see as reliable. I would recommend that rather than making a page for her, that you look and see what could be added to the main article on her husband. Shalor (Wiki Ed) (talk) 16:48, 16 March 2020 (UTC)

If you plan on working on it further, or editing it to address the issues raised if it was declined, simply and remove the {{db-afc}}, {{db-draft}}, or {{db-g13}} code.
If your submission has already been deleted by the time you get there, and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion by following the instructions at this link. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.
