Speedy deletion nomination of Bryan Finlay[edit]

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.

A tag has been placed on Bryan Finlay 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 real person or group of people, but it does not credibly 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 "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.

February 2018[edit]

Information icon Welcome to Wikipedia. It might not have been your intention, but you removed a speedy deletion tag from a page you have created yourself.

This will allow you to make your case on the talk page. Administrators will consider your reasoning before deciding what to do with the page. Thank you.

Independent reliable source are sources are those obtain from major newspaper, such as The Guardian, Sydney Morning Herald, CNN news and etc. or source obtain from major publisher of the work (for example, Random House or Cambridge University Press). Pls see

  1. reliable source - see WP:RS

Information icon Please do not remove content or templates from pages on Wikipedia, as you did to Juno Awards of 2018, without giving a valid reason for the removal in the edit summary.

Deaths in 2018[edit]

Hi. Please be sure not to revert a perfectly good edit by another editor when you make an edit yourself to Deaths in 2018, as you did here. Also, we only use Inter Language Links formatted for use in the English Wikipedia - so it would need to be in the following style for the subject you added: ((ill|Fernando Albán Salazar|es)) (which would add a small inline link to the Spanish article for that subject while still showing that an English article needed to be created for him). Thanks. Ref (chew)(do) 19:19, 9 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
