Proposed deletion of Dennis R. Rader

The article Dennis R. Rader has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this newly created biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the 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. reddogsix (talk) 04:26, 3 April 2013 (UTC)

A tag has been placed on Dennis R. Rader 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.

Dennis R. Rader

Hello, first off thanks for creating that article, which is a decent enough effort from a new editor. As I explained at Talk:Dennis_R._Rader, I don't believe that article met speedy deletion criteria, and an admin took the same view. Unfortunately, that doesn't mean that the subject of the article is notable enough, or safe from deletion. WP:GNG and WP:ACADEMIC will give you an idea of what you need to do to establish his notability. I've had a look on google but can't find anything, not helped by him sharing a name with serial killer Dennis Rader. I would urge you to have a look around both online and offline to see what you can find. Valenciano (talk) 16:45, 3 April 2013 (UTC)
