Article on William easterling needs references[edit]

Welcome to Wikipedia, and thanks for putting up the article on William easterling. However, the job is not done. At the moment, that article has no references at all. Wikipedia has a strict rule that all biographies of living people must have independent references, or they will be deleted. So please add suitable references, or somebody will soon delete the article. --Gronk Oz (talk) 23:54, 9 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

We run "copy and paste" detection software on new edits. One of your edits appear to be infringing on someone else's copyright. See also Wikipedia:Copy-paste.

A tag has been placed on Severn Sailing Association requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G12 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article or image appears to be a clear copyright infringement. This article or image appears to be a direct copy from http://severnsailing.org/. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material, and as a consequence, your addition will most likely be deleted. You may use external websites or other printed material as a source of information, but not as a source of sentences. This part is crucial: say it in your own words. Wikipedia takes copyright violations very seriously and persistent violators will be blocked from editing.

If the external website or image belongs to you, and you want to allow Wikipedia to use the text or image — which means allowing other people to modify it — then you must verify that externally by one of the processes explained at Wikipedia:Donating copyrighted materials. If you are not the owner of the external website or image but have permission from that owner, see Wikipedia:Requesting copyright permission. You might want to look at Wikipedia's policies and guidelines for more details, or ask a question here.

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 "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.

Status and Advice[edit]

As reviewing administrator, I deleted the article; quite apart from copyvio, there is no indication at all that the organization is significant. To show that, you will need references providing substantial coverage from third-party independent reliable sources, not press releases or mere announcements.

Crombie JD Garret[edit]

Hello, It seems that you accidentally created two copies of this article - I've taken the liberty of redirecting "Crombie J. D. Garret" to "Crombie J.D. Garret" (the space between the initials was the only difference). Please take care not to create two copies of the same article in the future. Thanks!

Proposed deletion of Charles Barlowe[edit]

The article Charles Barlowe has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

WP:NAcademics. Seems to lack the notability criteria. This is not Linkin.

While all constructive 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. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
