[edit] Notability of Charles Hiram Burnett Sr
A tag has been placed on Charles Hiram Burnett Sr requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article appears to be about a real person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), 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 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. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.
If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the article (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 confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia 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. PMDrive1061 (talk) 22:53, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Hi Richard I have removed the copyright tags from the article Erasmus M. Smithers because there is a credible claim that the text is from the public domain as you said. However, please take the time to fundamentally rewrite it and expand it. It is currently not suitable in tone etc for WP, which is not surprising since it was written in 1903 when the guy was still alive. I hope you will be able to get it up to snuff soon! Welcome.

Hi Richard
The article Corliss P. Stone was deleted because it was an exact copy of text found elsewhere on the web, and so posting it was in violation of copyright law. If you are sure that this person is notable and you wish to write about him in you own words please feel free to recreate the article. Please have a look at Wikipedia:Manual of style to see what a Wikipedia article should look like. (If you wish to reply to me you can do so here - I will see any edits you make here). DJ Clayworth (talk) 16:54, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
I have copied two entries on the talk page of the above article to here. Since the article is deleted the talk page will be too, and you may wish to have a record of what was said. DJ Clayworth (talk) 16:57, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
The age of the book this text is from puts the text in the public domain. I also intend to add info from other sources. (contributed by User:RichardBond)
- You really should rewrite this in your own words, though you are free (indeed, encouraged) to use this text as a reference. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 16:27, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
End of insert
Hi again Richard.
Thanks for your willingness to contribute to Wikipedia. It's true that an old book is probably in the public domain. However there are other reasons why the original article is inappropriate. It is written in the style of a memoir and not an encyclopedia article: it does not conform to the Wikipedia:Manual of style; and it will need very heavy editing to bring it to Wikipedia standards. I strongly recommend that you rewrite the information there in your own words in in a form appropriate for an encyclopedia. However if you insist on reposting the material it will probably not be deleted again, as long as you include a statement that it is in the public domain.
Incidentally there are no 'supervisors' on Wikipedia. Wikipedia is written by a community of volunteers. The policies represent the consensus of the Wikipedia community. DJ Clayworth (talk) 17:05, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Speedy deletion of Cornelius H. Hanford
This is the last warning you will receive for your disruptive edits.
The next time you create an inappropriate page, such as Cornelius H. Hanford, you will be blocked from editing.
- I take that warning back as I see now that your recent page is a) not a test page and b) not a copyvio. Sorry for the final warning. Keep up the article writing and just ignore my warning. My apologies again, Cunard (talk) 02:54, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Public domain
Before anyone blocks you, could provide a link showing how the source for all this is in the public domain? If so, you need to appeal at WP:DRV rather than recreating these. Cheers, Dlohcierekim 02:48, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Better yet
rewrite in your own wordd citing the source. Cheers, Dlohcierekim 02:50, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Response
I start with public domain material then change the text as I get more information from other sources. Also I have not removed stylistic changes or additional information posted by others here to the articles I started. I welcome doing future collaboration with historians and resent people who delete robotically without having regard for sharing the history involved.

[edit] Your message
I assume this is about Howard Cranston Potter. 7 people have thought the article should be speedily deleted because it did not assert WHY he was notable. 4 of them tagged it for speedy deletion, the other 3 (including me, most recently) pressed the button to delete it. Instead of blaming others, perhaps improve what you're writing, rather than simply reposting it time after time without addressing the fundamental problem that was leading to it being deleted time after time. Being someone's father-in-law isn't a sufficient assertion of notability, and there's preciously little else in the article about anything apart from his relatives.
If you disagree that the deletions were right, you have two options: (1) write a better article and avoid the problem that way; (2) go to WP:DRV.
As for the articles that I write, they are all to be found in existing biographical dictionaries such as the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography or the Dictionary of Welsh Biography, and are all properly sourced and referenced. I don't accept the comparison, or the charge of favouritism/bias.

[edit] Corliss P. Stone
Despite your personal attacks on me, I have reviewed the policies on these matters, and the source you cite. I have concluded that the source is public domain, that the individual's notability is asserted, and so I have restored the article. If anyone gives you any trouble about this article in terms of copyright violation, please drop a line to my talkpage and I will handle it for you. I have tagged it for cleanup to attract new editors to make it more of an encyclopedic article. Best wishes Fritzpoll (talk) 22:45, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
- No problem - I'll gloss over the personal stuff on the grounds of frustration with a load of admins who didn't seem to be listening. Good luck with the article Fritzpoll (talk) 22:53, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
