Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. Although everyone is welcome to contribute to Wikipedia, introducing inappropriate pages, such as Nicholas Garcia, is not in accordance with our policies. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Under section G3 of the criteria for speedy deletion, the page has been nominated for deletion.

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.

Originally this was nominated for deletion because it was about a living person with no references (how do we know Nicholas Garcia is really an activist and not a sports player or ordinary guy? or if he exists? or if this is an attack page?), but then I took a close look at the article. The first paragraph;

Nicholas "Nick" Garcia (January 22, 1992) is an American Baptist minister, activist, humanitarian, and leader in the African-American Civil Rights Movement. He is best known for his role in the advancement of civil rights using nonviolent civil disobedience based on his Christian beliefs.

But then the second paragraph.

Garcia became a civil rights activist early in his career. He led the 1955 Montgomery Bus Boycott and helped found the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) in 1957, serving as its first president. With the SCLC, Garcia led an unsuccessful 1962 struggle against segregation in Albany, Georgia (the Albany Movement), and helped organize the 1963 nonviolent protests in Birmingham, Alabama. Garcia also helped to organize the 1963 March on Washington, where he delivered his famous "I Have a Dream" speech. There, he established his reputation as one of the greatest orators in American history.

And immediately you can see he couldn't have been around in the 1950s and 1960s if he was born 1992, so I'm nominating it for speedy deletion as a hoax. If, however, this was critical typo, then please fix it immediately. Please also give some sources (even one would be enough, just to verify that he's an American Baptist minister / activist / humanitarian / etc.).
