Hello, Paul-leeds, and welcome to Wikipedia! Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Unfortunately, one or more of the pages you created, like Dr. Peter McParlin, may not conform to some of Wikipedia's guidelines for page creation, and may soon be deleted.

Speedy deletion nomination of Dr. Peter McParlin

A tag has been placed on Dr. Peter McParlin 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.

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.

Hello

Hi Paul, it's a pleasure to meet you. Don't worry about being new, or not understanding everything - we're just glad to have you here. I'll watchlist your talk page - (meaning that I will look at it from time to time, and drop you a note if I think I can help).

OK, first things first. Do you want to work on the article from scratch, or restore everything that was in the previous article?

I'll go from there once I know what you want to do. Cheers. — Ched : ? 18:15, 19 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Article restored

The article you requested has been restored at:

User:Paul-leeds/Dr. Peter McParlin

There were 2 items I found that may help with writing the article:

Best of luck, and let me know if I can help in any way. Watch the caps, remember we need to supply information that shows why this person is significant, and notable. You may want to read up on WP:BIO for some tips as well. Also, in looking at the article, you may want to read through: WP:ADVERT. The article can't be a "puff-piece" written like a resume, or a glowing review. It needs to maintain a Neutral Point of View. Cheers. — Ched : ? 14:54, 20 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Improved

Hi Paul. I just looked over your improvements, and it looks like you're starting to get the idea. It may take me a couple day to actually edit the article, but I will try to get to that by the end of the week. My one big question right now would be "What do you think makes this man notable? I certainly agree that he is an admirable man, deserving a great deal of respect. For an encyclopedic article at Wikipedia, what make him stand out as significant and notable from other people who work in this field? Has he written books that have been best seller? Has he achieved awards in his field? Has he been the subject of media attention which would define him as a "notable" or significant person who has effected changes to "care"? I'm not asking you to give me specific references or links right now - just asking you to tell me in your own words - why you think he is "special" and deserving of an article. Good work so far, and Cheers. — Ched : ? 06:09, 21 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I made a couple edits with some tips. The "reference" part can be a little daunting at first, but once you understand how it's done, it's not as intimidating as it first appears. — Ched : ? 21:52, 28 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I made a couple more tweaks - look through the article, and see if you have any questions. I'll try to add a little bit more over the next few days. — Ched : ? 04:01, 30 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I replied on my talk page. Please scroll through the posts, and you will see my responses. Thank you, and happy editing. — Ched : ? 22:44, 19 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Paul. I just read through the article. I just don't see where you've made a case for notability yet. All the information in the article speaks well of him, but you need to establish why this man is notable. And then you need to show a reference that supports what you are saying that makes him notable. If you have an online source ... copy the URL and post the entire URL either here or on my talk. Tell me briefly what in that URL page you think makes him notable, and I'll help write the copy, and put the reference in its proper format. Don't give up editing. Even if you can't get the article up to a passing point right now, it can stay in your userspace until you've gained enough experience to get it up to speed. — Ched : ? 15:41, 20 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you.

A tag has been placed on Peter McParlin 's NOBODY EVER APOLOGISES campaign, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article that does not provide sufficient context to identify its subject. 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.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}} to the article and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.
