Hi C. Fred. How do you flag an entry for removal on the grounds that it is about a junior prof with no accomplishments worth mentioning and was clearly created by himself for self-promotion?--BlueonGray (talk) 23:23, 21 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Make sure all those allegations hold water, then you'll want to follow the instructions at WP:Proposed deletion or WP:Articles for deletion.
You could also tag the page for speedy deletion. However, I'm looking at the page right now, and if it meets those criteria, I'll delete it. If it doesn't as an administrator, I'd decline the deletion, and you'd have to go one of the other two routes anyway. —C.Fred (talk) 23:29, 21 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I disagree that the page was created by the subject to self-promote. However, I do agree that the article had no clear assertion of significance or importance, so it was deleted under speedy deletion criterion A7. Had you wanted to tag the article—or if you need to tag a similar article in the future—the tag is {{db-bio}}. —C.Fred (talk) 23:34, 21 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, Fred. This is good to know. I appreciate the tips.--BlueonGray (talk) 23:53, 21 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
