Speedy deletion nomination of Sir William Seeds[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 Sir William Seeds 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, a rephrasing of the title, 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 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. E Wing (talk) 07:50, 28 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I should start by saying that I created and wrote the article about (Sir) William Seeds in 2011 and declared I am his grandaughter. I should also add that I am now over 70 yrs old...I see inaccuracies in recent edits but it seems there is no way of questioning those as the editors do not seem to have valid talk pages. Also a paragraph which was there for over 10 years was deleted two months ago- it was under Death and Legacy and said "Seeds' papers, diaries and documents are kept by his granddaughter, Corinna Seeds ,Theatre Director,Hydrama Theatre PO Box 9, Hydra, Greece, 18040 on the island of Hydra in Greece, and may be viewed and referenced by historians on request" I yesterday put an amended version back in "Seeds' extensive papers, diaries and photographs were inherited and archived by his granddaughter, Corinna Seeds, on the island of Hydra in Greece, and may be viewed and referenced by historians on request." but is there a way (is it allowed?) to put my address and email? It was wonderful to have been able (until now) to have been contacted by historians and people who wanted to know more about my grandfather... one particularly touching request was by a 83 year old man last year who was the son of my grandfather;s valet and wanted to know more about his father and he was very grateful for all the info and photos I gave him... should I perhaps change my user name? or what?

One more thing[edit]

I didn't mention this on IRC, but another salient policy here is Wikipedia:Verifiability. This means there should exist a reliable, published source for all information on Wikipedia. Now you can be a reliable source on information about yourself (see WP:ABOUTSELF), but it has to be published somewhere; just giving a name and address wouldn't be sufficient. ■ ∃ Madeline ⇔ ∃ Part of me ; 10:52, 21 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
