Notability of Joseph Mawle

Hello, this is a message from an automated bot. A tag has been placed on Joseph Mawle, by another Misplaced Pages user, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. The tag claims that it should be speedily deleted because Joseph Mawle seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

To contest the tagging and request that administrators wait before possibly deleting Joseph Mawle, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and put a note on its talk page. If the article has already been deleted, see the advice and instructions at WP:WMD. Feel free to contact the bot operator if you have any questions about this or any problems with this bot, bearing in mind that this bot is only informing you of the nomination for speedy deletion; it does not perform any nominations or deletions itself.

Notability

A tag has been placed on Interlock (band) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done because the article appears to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would confirm the subject's notability under Misplaced Pages guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. BURNyA 15:41, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Red links

Why are you adding red links to a bunch of articles? There is currently no category for "bisexual models". Chicken Wing (talk) 11:35, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

Stop adding red links to the category sections of biographies. Chicken Wing (talk) 13:06, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

I noticed this too. And why do we need another stupid category?--Knulclunk (talk) 13:00, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

Ann Scott in the LGTB models category

I took the liberty of removing this category you added on ex model Ann Scott's page because this category contains too few proper fashion models. It's more about transexuals or playboy bunnies, and somehow I don't see how Ann Scott fits in there. Also we don't know if she was bisexual at the time she was a model. There's no source for that, so I suggest you find a source if you want to put it back. Also if I may, I think this category should be renamed "LGTB fashion models" and only include fashion models. Don't you think ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.84.240.18 (talk) 15:22, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Notability of Kelli Rudick

A tag has been placed on Kelli Rudick requesting that it be speedily deleted from Misplaced Pages. This has been done because the article appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article 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 article that would confirm the subject's notability under Misplaced Pages guidelines.

Proposed deletion of Java (actor)

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Java (actor), suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Misplaced Pages's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Misplaced Pages is not" and Misplaced Pages's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Douglas P.

Hi, Checkspake!

Placing someone in an LGBT category is considered a "controversial claim", and therefore needs to actually state something in the article, plus have that claim backed up by a reliable source. Please don't add Category:LGBT musicians from the United Kingdom and Category:Gay musicians to Douglas P. unless you add both content and a reliable source to his article. Thanks! -- SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 06:16, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

Unreferenced BLPs

Hello Checkspake! Thank you for your contributions. I am a bot alerting you that 5 of the articles that you created are Unreferenced Biographies of Living Persons. Please note that all biographies of living persons must be sourced. If you were to add reliable, secondary sources to these articles, it would greatly help us with the current 9 article backlog. Once the article is adequately referenced, please remove the {{unreferencedBLP}} tag. Here is the list:

1. Tilly Vosburgh - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL
2. André Reybaz - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL
3. David Leon - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL
4. Jacob Aaron Estes - Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL

Nomination of Leroi Samuels for deletion

Proposed deletion of Jonas Ball

The article Jonas Ball has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Not a notable actor

While all constructive contributions to Misplaced Pages are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
