Repost of Sekani Simpson[edit]
A tag has been placed on Sekani Simpson requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia, because it appears to be a repost of material that was previously deleted following a deletion process. If you can indicate how it is different from the previously posted material, place the template {{hang on}} underneath the other template on the article and put a note on the page's discussion page saying why this article should stay. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. If you believe the original discussion was unjustified, please contact the administrator who deleted the page or use deletion review instead of continuing to recreate the page. Thank you. —C.Fred (talk) 21:47, 2 January 2011 (UTC)
The article Hector Mackie has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
- Footballer who fails WP:NSPORT#Association football by never having played in a fully-professional league, and without enough media coverage to satisfy the general notability guideline
While all contributions to Wikipedia 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. The speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. Struway2 (talk) 11:50, 3 January 2011 (UTC)

Notability of footballers[edit]
Hello. You may not know, although I think you probably do, that Wikipedia has guidelines about notability, which means whether a subject qualifies for their own article or not. If a footballer hasn't played in a fully-professional league, which in England means Football League level, they don't qualify. So if you keep creating them, they'll keep being deleted, and you'll be wasting your own time as well as that of others. cheers, Struway2 (talk) 12:09, 3 January 2011 (UTC)
