Joe Swanberg

A tag has been placed on Joe Swanberg, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be a biographical account about a person, group of people, or band, but it does not indicate how or why he/she/they is/are notable. If you can indicate why Joe Swanberg is really notable, I advise you to edit the article promptly, and also put a note on Talk:Joe Swanberg. Any admin should check for such edits before deleting the article. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Please read our criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 7 under Articles. You might also want to read our general biography criteria. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. To contest the tagging and request that admins should wait a while for you to assert his/her/their notability, please affix the template {{hangon}} to the page, and then immediately add such an assertion. It is also a very good idea to add citations from reliable sources to ensure that your article will be verifiable. -- Merope ^Talk 20:37, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for your notification.

Your complaint

I've replied to you on my talk page. If I had blocked you, there would have been a message on this page with details / reasons why. There have not been any such messages. Is it possible that it is your IP address that has been blocked and not your username? Let me know which IP address and something can be done. Thanks, Ian Cairns 19:12, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

List of Academy Award winners

I am curious about that article you started. I assume that you are not finished with it. What is your intent? To list ALL the winners from ALL past years? That seems like a HUGE undertaking. Plus, isn't that info somewhere on Wiki anyway? I am just curious what your intent is. Thanks. (JosephASpadaro 18:48, 27 April 2007 (UTC))

That is not my intent for that article, as there is another article that does precisely that, and my intent Is for, when this year's awards are given, I, and hopefully others, will record which movies won what awards. Thank you for asking me anyway.

Spelling

Welcome to Wikipedia, I would advise you to check your spellings before you save a page. Mankind 2k 15:47, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Skerrit Bwoy

The article Skerrit Bwoy has been proposed for deletion because under Wikipedia policy, all biographies of living persons created after March 18, 2010, must have at least one source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't take offense. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Wikipedia:Referencing for beginners or ask at Wikipedia:Help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. Eeekster (talk) 00:55, 25 May 2011 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Skerrit Bwoy

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 Skerrit Bwoy 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 see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, contest the deletion by clicking on the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion," which appears inside of the speedy deletion ({{db-...}}) tag (if no such tag exists, the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate). Doing so will take you to the talk page where you will find a pre-formatted place for you to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. You can also visit the the page's talk page directly to give your reasons, 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. Eeekster (talk) 00:55, 25 May 2011 (UTC)
