Ashevilleupdate
Hello Ashvilleupdate, thanks for your addition to Serra. Note that entries must be notable and a verifiable alum: that means they have their own article and/or inline footnote. And redlink entries will be removed. Please take a moment to bring your entries up to standards. Thanks! Lionel (talk) 02:41, 15 October 2010 (UTC)
Speedy deletion nomination of Dwan Hurt
edit
A tag has been placed on Dwan Hurt 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 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 see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable, as well as our subject-specific notability guideline for biographies. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles – see the Article Wizard.
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 that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag - if no such tag exists then the page is no longer a speedy delete candidate and adding a hangon tag is unnecessary), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page 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 page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. Lastly, please note that if the page does get deleted, you can contact one of these administrators to request that they userfy the page or have a copy emailed to you.

This is an automated message from CorenSearchBot. I have performed a web search with the contents of Wolcott Architecture Interiors, and it appears to be a substantial copy of http://www.wolcottai.com.
It is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article. The article will be reviewed to determine if there are any copyright issues.
If substantial content is duplicated and it is not public domain or available under a compatible license, it will be deleted. For legal reasons, we cannot accept copyrighted text or images borrowed from other web sites or printed material.

Speedy deletion nomination of Wolcott Architecture Interiors
edit A tag has been placed on Wolcott Architecture Interiors, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service or person and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become an encyclopedia article. Please read the guidelines on spam as well as Wikipedia:FAQ/Business for more information. You may also wish to consider using a Wizard to help you create articles - see the Article Wizard.

Please do not place people in articles for which there is no intext mention of the issue
editI just noticed you put Joseph B. Cormier in Category:African-American players of American football. Is Cormier African-American? I do not know, because the article mentions it not at all. Maybe he is. Maybe you have sources that show this. I don't know, but we can not categorize him as such unless the text of the article says he is such. You are free to edit the text of the article to say that Cormier is African-American. However until the text says that Cormier is African-American, he should not be categorized as such.John Pack Lambert (talk) 01:20, 23 September 2013 (UTC)
