[edit] Speedy deletion of Charles Bonney George

A tag has been placed on Charles Bonney George 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 notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance 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 article 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 article that would would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the article does get deleted, you can contact one of these admins to request that a copy be emailed to you. Triwbe (talk) 16:25, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

(I've copied this for your use from the talk page of the article noted above.) In general, the subjects of Wikipedia articles are people who are notable in the sense that they have done something that makes them notable. It would be extremely unusual for a figure such as this to be the subject of an article unless he is the subject of considerable material that qualifies as reliable sources. What I might suggest is that it seems to me that your contention is that this is a notable event, but you're trying to organize the material around what seems not to be a notable person. If you feel the "1901 Caister Lifeboat disaster" is a notable historic event, and can demonstrate that notability using reliable sources, that might be the proper subject for an article. I hope this helps you. If you have any questions about Wikipedia policy, you can leave me a note. Accounting4Taste:talk 17:49, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
