Hi, I'm Kudpung. Agonga ukel, thanks for creating Dorothy D. Houghton!

The tags can be removed by you or another editor once the issues they mention are addressed. If you have questions, you can leave a comment on my talk page. Or, for more editing help, talk to the volunteers at the Teahouse.

Proposed deletion of Bernard Arcens

edit
 

The article Bernard Arcens has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Wikipedia policy, this biography of a living person will be deleted after seven days unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp/dated}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within seven days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. reddogsix (talk) 15:21, 8 July 2017 (UTC)Reply

Hi, I'm sorry to have to do this but I had to delete this article as it was copied and pasted from two websites with minimal changes. Unfortunately, Wikipedia has a very strict copyright policy where all text may be freely redistributed and even sold, provided correct attribution is given. Since most websites don't have a copyright like this, we can't use them. US Federal Government documents do have suitable public domain licenses but I'm not sure the two sources I found come under that remit - if I've made a mistake and you are sure the source material you used is public domain, please let me know.

A tag has been placed on Dorothy D. Houghton 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 real 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.
