Speedy deletion nomination of File:Dick Fenkiel.tif[edit]

A tag has been placed on File:Dick Fenkiel.tif requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section F1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the image is an unused redundant copy (all pixels the same or scaled down) of an image in the same file format, which is on Wikipedia (not on Commons), and all inward links have been updated.

If you think that your 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.

Helen Lowrie Marshall[edit]

Hi. All you need are sources. Go to a the library and access an engine that can do archive searches of old newspapers. I just typed "Helen Lowrie Marshall" into a Proquest news search and dozens of articles came up. She was a very successful poet. I added aome info form an article in the Christian Science Monitor, but I found that on a search of her first Doubleday title. Once I realized what a major writer she was, I typed on her name - and discovered copious sourcing. Just add a few sources and resubmit - and Thank You for adding a valuable article to Wikipedia. I hope you'll join us and edit more.E.M.Gregory (talk) 22:23, 21 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Also, the articles came up under the full name: Helen Lowie Marshall. You should figure out which name she published under, and resubmit the article under that name. Best,E.M.Gregory (talk) 22:25, 21 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Tougher than I thought. She was an extremely popular poet who got / gets no respect in "serious" sources. Her poem "After Glow" continues to be wildly popular today. but the myriad sources I wrote you about yesterday, aside from the profile I added, were mere mentions of her name in stories where one of her poems was read, usually at a funeral. there has to be another profile or two out there. Or perhaps a reliable source discussing the enduring popularity of After Glow. It may take some serious searching. Best.E.M.Gregory (talk) 16:07, 22 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]
