Speedy deletion nomination of Michael Verey

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.

Hello, and welcome to Wikipedia. This is a notice to inform you that a tag has been placed on Michael Verey requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section A1 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

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 deleted 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. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. 2602:306:3357:BA0:A191:D40C:3E4C:C744 (talk) 23:42, 10 May 2018 (UTC)

Yes but what is the annual readership (or visitorship)? Philafrenzy (talk) 20:34, 13 May 2018 (UTC)

Rita Duffy

Hi Philafrenzy,

I'm a bit perplexd why you added a 'lede too short' clean up tag to Rita Duffy. The article is only just long enough for DYK nomination and the couple of sentences in the existing lede seem to be quite adequate to me. If you feele there's something worth adding, please do so, otherwise tagging just seems disruptive to the DYK process. Cheers (and thanks for the other tweaking of the article, which has improved it nicely). Sionk (talk) 20:36, 15 May 2018 (UTC)

According to MOS:LEAD, the lead should "summarize the most important points" of the article. I don't think you can do that in two sentences. Philafrenzy (talk) 20:42, 15 May 2018 (UTC)

So what other important points would you summarise? Sionk (talk) 21:26, 15 May 2018 (UTC)

Something about her background which seems very important, where she places herself politically, and that her work is represented in national institutions. You choose. BTW, personally I would move the claim that she is the province's "foremost artist" down into the body. Such claims are highly subjective and don't actually tell the reader anything very useful, but I guess you are using it primarily to support notability. Philafrenzy (talk) 21:40, 15 May 2018 (UTC)

Template:Did you know nominations/Endsleigh Gardens

Hi, I'm willing to reopen the nomination if you can add more details to the article that will make a better hook, as Johnbod suggested in the review. Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 14:27, 21 May 2018 (UTC)

I am reluctant to do a big expansion on it as any more detail should really be in a separate article as has been said. I have added two sources. What about that "the "Euston Square Murder", for which Hannah Dobbs (pictured) was acquitted at the Old Bailey in 1879, was so notorious that the houses where it took place were renamed Endsleigh Gardens?"

Assessment of new pages

I noticed that you had created The Crumpled Horn and then assessed it for some projects, including WikiProject Wiltshire, on its talk page. People should really not assess their own articles, even as a stub and low-importance, as in this case. It is fine to add the WikiProject templates, but they should be left as unassessed. Someone from each project should then show up and assess the new page. Moonraker (talk) 03:15, 1 June 2018 (UTC)

Where is the rule that says that when it is self-evident what level they are? The Crumpled Horn is two lines and so must be a stub because it can't be a start. Philafrenzy (talk) 05:35, 1 June 2018 (UTC)

I routinely asses pages that I have just moved to mainspace from Draft, and to which i have made significant contributions, and would feel free to do so even if I were the only contributor, provided that it is at C level or below. I don't normally assign an importance rating unless it is for a project I have been active in. DES ^(talk)_{DESiegel Contribs} 03:12, 2 June 2018 (UTC)

Agree with that and it's worth noting that most of the projects are dead. One frequently sees old articles without projects and with missing ratings so it's best to do it yourself if it is uncontentious. I also can't think of anyone better placed to assess these matters than someone who is knowledgeable enough to have written an article on a given subject. It's not as if very much actually flows from these ratings at the bottom end. Philafrenzy (talk) 04:28, 2 June 2018 (UTC)
