The article Skip battaglia has been proposed for deletion because under Wikipedia policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one source that directly supports material in the article.
If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners or ask at Wikipedia:Help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. WuhWuzDat 07:37, 18 December 2010 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of Skip battaglia
[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.
A tag has been placed on Skip battaglia 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.
If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hang on}}
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 hang-on 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. If the page is deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that the administrator userfy the page or email a copy to you. WuhWuzDat 07:37, 18 December 2010 (UTC)
Just to let you know....
[edit]I'm glad you chose to write an article for Wikipedia, and I am truely sorry that someone thought to suggest it be deleted only 8 minutes after it was created. Just to let you know, I was able to take your original creation for Skip Battaglia to a greater level... by exoanding and sourcing the content so it now looks like THIS. I do not think it is any longer in danger of being deleted... and you are quite welcome to join in the discussion about the article. But for the future, you might consider using a workspace for building articles to allow you the luxury of time as you bring them into shape. You can always create one by starting an article in a location such as User:Tmazz 109/workspace/article name here. So please do not be discouraged in creating future articles.

DYK for Skip Battaglia
[edit]On 28 December 2010, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Skip Battaglia, which you created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that award-winning experimental filmmaker and animator Skip Battaglia is also a professor at the Rochester Institute of Technology? You are welcome to check how many hits the article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |
