Speedy deletion of Israel Hilton

A tag has been placed on Israel Hilton 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, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, 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. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

Proposed deletion of Israel Hilton

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Israel Hilton, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process because of the following concern:

Fails WP:BIO

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

Your comment on Israel Hilton talk page

In regards to your comment on the Israel Hilton talk page how does he meet our notability guidelines or requirements for verifiable sources? You can remove the prod at anytime if you feel that the article should be kept, but if you are unable to provide sources it will simply end up at WP:AFD. (Also I removed the speedy tag since notability was asserted (though not necessarily proven), since it is simply a PROD the creator is allowed to remove the tag. Cheers...

AfD nomination of Israel Hilton

I have nominated Israel Hilton, an article that you created, for deletion. I do not think that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Israel Hilton. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time.

Please contact me if you're unsure why you received this message. TonyBallioni (talk) 16:07, 11 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Owen Spencer-Thomas

Hi! Firstly, one of the most important parts about writing articles on Wikipedia is objectivity. We have a guideline about writing autobiographies which explains why it's not such a good idea, at Wikipedia:Autobiography. I've looked through your article more closely and I'm now concerned that - although your achievements are certainly laudable - you may not meet our guidelines on biographies, at Wikipedia:Notability (people). In addition, the article uses a lot of what we call "peacock" terminology (WP:PEACOCK). Phrases such as "Few people know that he combined his career with that of ordained Anglican clergyman", and "Spencer-Thomas has been a lifetime volunteer, leading a range of community projects, supporting people in need" may be accurate, but they present facts in a manner and tone that is not appropriate for a neutral biography.

The problem with these peacock terms is they often obfuscate a determination of notability. Might I ask you to first consider this matter? The core requirement of our notabiliy guideline is that a person must be "the subject of multiple published secondary sources which are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject." I have looked through the sources cited in the article, but I am not convinced that this test is met. There appear to be a considerable number of passing mentions, but little to nothing that is specific. If you were able to identify and add - or highlight, if they already exist - any sources that directly relate to yourself, this would be a great help. If I can be of further assistance, please don't hesitate to get in touch! ninety:one (reply on my talk) 21:40, 23 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Disambiguation link notification for October 22

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Mishal Husain, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Radio 4. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
