[edit] Speedy deletion of Dr Michael meenaghan
A tag has been placed on Dr Michael meenaghan 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 (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's 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.

[edit] Re. Dr Michael Meenaghan
In reply to your message: Hi, the article you created was nominated for speedy deletion because it did not really conform to Wikipedia's notability guidelines which state what kind of information is and is not acceptable in articles about people. The article seemed to focus more on his unsolved murder than him and his accomplishments. Basically you need to steer away from the murder (i.e. have it as a small conclusion) and state why he was notable (e.g. what was so special about his work that set him apart from all the other scientists working with T-cells and how does his work impact on our lives today). I would suggest reading the notability guidelines for more information.
To contest a speedy deletion, you simply have to use the 'hangon' template by typing {{hangon}} after the speedy deletion template, before the article is actually deleted. You must also state why the article should not be deleted on the article's talk page.
To reference in the article, you can use the templates located on this page If you need any other help, please ask =) Thanks, SMC89 ( talk • contribs ) 10:58, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
