Speedy deletion nomination of John McAteer

A tag has been placed on John McAteer 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.

Ways to improve John McAteer

Hi, I'm Mabalu. Stephenmcateer, thanks for creating John McAteer!

I've just tagged the page, using our page curation tools, as having some issues to fix. Good work on expanding and adding cites. However please can you add more cites to bring the rest of the article up to the standard of the Hamilton section? Currently only one section is cited, and the whole article should be supported by cites if possible, especially for biographical information.

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.

Managing a conflict of interest

Hello, Stephenmcateer. We welcome your contributions, but if you have an external relationship with the people, places, or things you have written about in the article John McAteer, you may have a conflict of interest (COI). Editors with a COI may be unduly influenced by their connection to the topic, and it is important when editing Wikipedia articles that such connections be completely transparent. See the conflict of interest guideline and FAQ for organizations for more information. In particular, we ask that you please:

avoid editing or creating articles related to you and your family, friends, school, company, club, or organization, as well as any competing companies' projects or products;
instead, you are encouraged to propose changes on the Talk pages of affected article(s) (see the {{request edit}} template);
when discussing affected articles, disclose your COI (see WP:DISCLOSE);
avoid linking to the Wikipedia article or to the website of your organization in other articles (see WP:SPAM);
exercise great caution so that you do not violate Wikipedia's content policies.

In addition, you must disclose your employer, client, and affiliation with respect to any contribution for which you receive, or expect to receive, compensation (see WP:PAID).

Please take a few moments to read and review Wikipedia's policies regarding conflicts of interest, especially those pertaining to neutral point of view, sourcing and autobiographies. Thank you. Linguist ^talk|contribs 18:57, 20 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Use of the Daily Mail

This is just a notice/reminder that the use of the Daily Mail, the British tabloid, has been curtailed specifically by the request of the Wikipedia community, as seen on WP:DAILYMAIL. This is not a scolding by any means, just a nice little notice about reliable sourcing. Thank you! — Javert2113 (talk; please ping me in your reply on this page) 14:13, 9 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]
