Please do not remove Articles for deletion notices from articles or remove other people's comments in Articles for deletion pages. The notices and comments are needed to establish community consensus about the status of an article, and removing them is considered vandalism. If you oppose the deletion of an article, you may comment at the respective page instead. Thank you. MER-C 13:07, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] T G Baynes

A tag has been placed on T G Baynes, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because the article seems to be blatant advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the general criteria for speedy deletion, particularly item 11, as well as the guidelines on spam.

If you can indicate why the subject of this article is not blatant advertising, you may contest the tagging. To do this, please add {{hangon}} on the top of the page and leave a note on the article's talk page explaining your position. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would help make it encyclopedic, as well as adding any citations from reliable sources to ensure that the article will be verifiable. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. pablomismo|\talk 10:08, 30 June 2007 (UTC)

Hey chgough - so I actually think you have a pretty good article in T G Baynes (that being said it does need major cleanup) - but regardless you can't just remove the speedy tags - all you can do is place the hangon tag below it.--danielfolsom 16:32, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
