[edit] Milan Hlavsa

A tag has been placed on Milan Hlavsa, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is a very short article providing little or no context to the reader. Please see Wikipedia:Stub for our minimum information standards for short articles. Also please note that articles must be on notable subjects and should provide references to reliable sources that verify their content.

Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself. If you plan to expand the article, you can request that administrators wait a while for you to add contextual material. To do this, affix the template {{hangon}} to the article and state your intention on the article's talk page. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this.

Welcome to Wikipedia. Please do not remove speedy deletion tags from articles that you have created yourself. If you do not believe the article should be deleted, then please place {{hangon}} on the page (please do not remove any existing speedy deletion tag) and make your case on the article's talk page. Administrators will look at your reasoning before deciding what to do with the article. Thank you. —C.Fred (talk) 02:13, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

Milan Hlavsa needs to remain tagged for deletion until it meets the minimum criteria for notability and verifiability, which it does not currently. I could have deleted it outright; instead I've tagged it as a deletion candidate.

If you prefer, I can move the article into user space at User:Thesandman2099/Milan Hlavsa while you work on it. Then, it is not subject to deletion. Once the article is ready, then it can be moved to main article space.

As a matter of practice, it is better to gather all the sources and have the article ready and create it in one pass. Even if all the formatting isn't prettied up that first run, at least all the content is in—and that's what saves articles from speedy deletion.

Let me know if you want to article userfied while you're working on it. —C.Fred (talk) 02:23, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

It has been userfied and is linked above. Once it's fleshed out, let me (or any other admin) know, and we can move it back to the main article space for you. —C.Fred (talk) 02:28, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

It's substantially the same article, so while technically that's not the right way to move it, it's the same effect, and it doesn't conceal anybody else's contributions, so that's fine. —C.Fred (talk) 04:24, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
