Speedy deletion nomination of James Francis Gallatin

edit
 

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on James Francis Gallatin 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 credibly indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such articles may be deleted at any time. Please read more about what is generally accepted as notable.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

That you believe that you're able to surmise an individual's expertise, interests, and level of intelligence based upon editing history fails Wikipedia:GOODFAITH. In my judgement, your comments were passive aggressive. I encourage you to read through this information provided through these two links.

I edit Wikipedia for fun, and I enjoy sports. Maybe I also enjoy and am knowledgeable about world history and consider myself a straight ally. I would not assume that you have no working knowledge on sports because as you detailed you have interests in "more secure in understanding the War of 1812, antisemtism in Europe in the 19th & 20th Century and the importance of cultural artefacts, and the religious significance of stained glass windows". One does not equal the other.

Keep in mind Wikipedia is just a website. You do not know me, nor do I know you. Cubbie15fan (talk) 02:35, 22 December 2015 (UTC)Reply

It was not meant to offend, however my point was on your decision that James Francis Gallatin was not a notable person after you had seen the links I sent from academic, and National Newspapers in 2015, 100 years after his death. It passes all the WP:Bio tests and you placed it for deletion after I had provided corroborative evidence and links to you on Talk. I asked you to retract the speedy deletion and what you did next was push it for deletion on the grounds of WP:Bio. Now I am a newbie and I guess you will have also read the rules about how you are meant to treat them. What you did when I provided the evidence was push to delete which I would suggest is Wikipedia:Passive Aggressive having just read my rebuttal of your WP:Bio. I was acting in good faith assuming that when the evidence was presented that you would withdraw, when the facts were presented, that clearly turned out not to be the case. I do not accept that my comments failed Wikipedia:Assume good faith because you posted your WP:Bio delete after I had provided the evidence and if it were not for another person on here I would not have know how to respond appropriately, being a Newbie. I would suggest to you that the reverse may be true as you acted, knowing that I had provided evidence that your WP:Bio was without merit and yet you still posted it.

I've accepted the article, but please remove all citations to wikis and replace with better sources. Wikis are never reliable sources per WP:UGS. Rusalkii (talk) 01:31, 22 December 2021 (UTC)Reply
