Speedy deletion nomination of Max hands[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 Max hands 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 read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here.

Before Max hands gets deleted, I just want to make sure that you know about wikilinking. You have a sentence in the article that says, "Max then moved to Reading Blue Coat for a brief 2 years were he attained the highest grades" with a footnote linking to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reading_Blue_Coat_School -- I think what you might have wanted to do was link to the school name within the sentence (instead of using it as a citation, which wouldn't help, because the Wikipedia article doesn't say anything about Max's grades at the school):

Max then moved to [[Reading Blue Coat School]] for a brief 2 years where he attained the highest grades.

would display as

Max then moved to Reading Blue Coat School for a brief 2 years where he attained the highest grades.

See Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Linking for further guidance. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 19:23, 13 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]
