A tag has been placed on Ernest John Routly, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article seems to be about a person, group of people, band, club, company, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in Wikipedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not assert notability may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, and if you can indicate why the subject of this article is notable, you may contest the tagging. To do this, add {{hangon}} on the top of the page (below the existing db tag) 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 confirm its subject's notability under the guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Steve (Stephen) talk 09:43, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] What to do next

Not being the author, I removed the tag because he might be notable. But the entire text is taken without modification from the FR Wiki, and needs modification to fit in here. Wiki-specific navigation links must be removed, and things explained here as an independent article.

This also applies to the other articles from the Wiki, if they also have been copied here. I suggest an article for the railroad might be stronger than for the people--I didnt see one on WP .DGG 22:02, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] What was done next

Absolutely nothing. If you can store the names of american baseball teams from 1908, and yet delete other things not american, I will not bother in future --Keith 17:45, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

Hello, I just read the above exchange. The reason the article you created was deleted was because it did not meet notability guidelines. A biography article needs to assert the notability of that person, with multiple independent sources. While that person may be notable to the FR, he's probably not notable generally. It's not about american bias, it's simple criteria of inclusion. You can't include a biography of every person who has been involved in something like the FR when they're not notable outside the FR. It would be appropriate to FRWiki, but not here. Maybe instead you could create an article with various biographies of minor people in a single article. - mattbuck 00:01, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] WHR (Porthmadog)

Hi, might I suggest that the page you created, WHR (Porthmadog) be redirected to Welsh Highland Railway as the page you have created is completely duplicated on the other page, and in more detail. The two lines are not notable enough separately to warrant separate articles. - mattbuck 23:55, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

OK, but may I suggest you move it to Welsh Highland Railway (Porthmadog) - people are more likely to know what it is then. - mattbuck 00:03, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

Fair comment and amended to full name format --Keith 00:32, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
